3.17. Output Data Format (Profile Data)
Systems manufactured with the optional Profiling Mode feature will output profile data for each
cell. The format of the data is shown in this section. Before profile data can be displayed, you
must set the ProfilingMode (PM) command to YES. You must also make entries for number of
cells (NC), cell size (CS), and blanking distance (BD). See §3.8 for command descriptions.
The following example and table show the format of Argonaut profile data.
