The following message settings gather all available information from data messages.

Vaisala recommends using MES 8 and the status line. MES 8 provides you with most information. MES 7 and MES 2 are messages from previous sensor generations.

MES 8 is the most extensive message format and Vaisala recommends using it. If you have limited bandwidth or you want to use as short message as possible, use the previous generation messages.

  • To configure MES 8 with all the measurement data, use the following settings:

    com1.message1.type 8
    com2.message1.type 8
    eth0.message1.type 8
  • To append a status line to the message, use the following settings:

    com1.message1.status ON
    com2.message1.status ON
    eth0.message1.status ON
  • To enable droplet size and droplet fall speed distribution if the distrometer feature is supported (fd.product.disdro = "D"), use the following settings:

    messages.mes8.line4enable ON
    messages.mes8.line5enable ON

    If the disdrometer is not supported (fd.product.disdro = "N"), Vaisala recommends configuring the settings OFF. If they are not disabled, the output values will be invalid.

  • If HMP155, LM21, or a day/night switch is connected, use the following settings:

    com3.lm21.data ON
    com3.hmp155.data ON
    io1.daynightinput.data ON
