Homer Hot Measurement and Tuning System - S-TEAM Lab

These are results in open, readable form. The first, lengthier form, has the advantage of identifying the particular
results by a label (e.g. Mag=0.928, which means that magnitude of input reflection coefficient is 0.928). The general
form of the string is
[Name1=]Value1[Name2=]Value2 … [NameN=]ValueN[END]
where
NameN is a label, defining item type
ValueN is corresponding numerical value
is delimiter, separating items of the string
is two-byte combination Carriage Return CR + Line Feed LF (bytes 10, 13)
The entities in square brackets are optional.
The string starts with time information
[Clk=]MeaFinishTick_ms
which is internal computer tick in milliseconds taken at the moment when a measurement finished.
The format of the string is controlled by the following lines in the internal Hom.cfg configuration file:
Asc_Delim=32
Asc_UseLabels=TRUE
Asc_InvalStr=NONE
Asc_Delim: Delimiter
;Delimiter of ASCII results: code of delimiting char
;Use labels XXX= in ASCII results
;Padding string to substitute invalid/not present results
Asc_Delim line defines ASCII code of the delimiting character (0 to 255 with the exceptions below) or the character
itself. The rules are as follows:
If Asc_Delim=10 or 13, the actual delimiter will be the two-byte combination (10, 13).
The delimiter cannot be
- a character used for representation of numbers (0 to 9, +, -, e, E)
- equality sign (=)
- semicolon (;)
- left square bracket ([)
In such cases the default delimiter space (ASCII code 32) will be used.
If Asc_Delim line is missing in Hom.cfg, the default delimiter space (ASCII code 32) is used.
Examples
Asc_Delim=59
Asc_Delim=;
Asc_Delim=13
Asc_Delim=Newline
Asc_Delim=Tab
Asc_Delim=Ta
Asc_Delim=1236
Asc_Delim=+
Asc_Delim==
Asc_UseLabels: Labels
If Asc_UseLabels=TRUE:
;result=59 (semicolon)
;result=59 (semicolon)
;result=13 (CR, actual delimiter will be CR+LF)
;result=10 (LF, actual delimiter will be CR+LF)
;result=9 (tab).
;error: result=32 (space)
;error (more than 255): result=32 (space)
;error (numeric char): result=32 (space)
;error (equality sign): result=32 (space)
the labels (followed by equality signs) are present in the results string
the terminating is preceded by “END” substring
If Asc_UseLabels=FALSE:
the results string consists of only numerical data separated by delimiter
there is no “END” substring
If delimiter is Tab, this form for is useful for import to Excel (especially by copy and paste method Ctrl+C,
Ctrl+V).
If Asc_UseLabels line is missing in Hom.cfg, the default TRUE is used.
