The Dialog "Format Transmitting String"

You get a list with all keywords by clicking the button "Change Data Format..."

##

Special character for DISTO online. These characters are used in
order to keep two successive keywords apart. E.g. DISTO online
could not detect "Measured_valueUnit" as "Measured_value" and
"Unit ", but it could detect them when they are edited as
"Measured_value##Unit" The characters " # # " are used only
internally by DISTO online and are not transmitted.

Date

The system date of your computer when the measurement from the
DISTO was received. The output format of the data reads YYYY-
MM-DD thus e.g. 2001-05-14

Time

The system time of your computer when the measurement from the
DISTO was received. The time is stored internally depending upon
operating system in millisecond accuracy. The output format of the
data reads hh:mm:ss thus e.g. 16:45:30

Time_ms

Like Time however with the additional output of the milliseconds.
This accuracy is operating system dependent:

Windows 95/98/ME uses a 1/55 second timer so you get this
precision, Windows NT 4.0/2000 is using a 1ms timer so you get a
1ms precision.

The output format of the data reads hh:mm:ss.ms thus e.g.
16:45:30.12

Position

The position number of the measurement in the DISTO memory.
Please read your DISTO manual for further information.

Measured_value

The value of the DISTO that has measured last. Could be distance,
area, volume, angle etc..

Unit

The corresponding unit for Measured_value
