TDC Ultra User’s Manual
A-8
Data Output Format
The following information is not normally needed to use the TDC Ultra.
It is provided for those who are interested in some of the technical aspects
of the TDC Ultra. It is also provided for those customers who do not plan
to use the analysis software, or who are interested in interfacing the TDC
Ultra to their own computer hardware and/or software systems.
The data that is sent out of the TDC Ultra is in standard ASCII (text) format.
Any communications program, such as Windows Hyperterminal, can be used
to capture the data. It is also easy to write software that can read the raw
data, if you are familiar with a programming language. (Doing something
with the data is another matter.)
Each interval of data is sent separately. The format of the data for each of
the TDC Ultra’s studies is as follows:
Standard Turning Movements, Roundabout:
varies* leader characters (20)
001 count number
001 interval number
01 interval length (min)
nnnnnnnn 8 digit site code
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA Alpha site code
