FORMAT B (52 BYTE ASCII STRING)
BYTE DESCRIPTION
1 STX (ASCII code 02H)
2 Unit of Measure
G = .1 gallon
I = .1 imperial gallon
L = 1 liter
K = 1 kilogram
B = 1 pound
3-8 Total Fuel Remaining
ASCII-coded decimal format (least significant digit is tenths), LSB first
Example:
A fuel remaining value of 543.2 would be sent as “2.3450” (32H, 2EH, 33H, 34H, 35H,
30H).
9 Total Fuel Remaining Checksum
Break each decimal value into BCD representation. Using BCD arithmetic, sum the 4
BCD values and convert the lower-order BCD digit to an ASCII coded numeric digit.
Example:
The checksum for a value of 543.2 would be “4” (34H).
