Note how there are no labels in the report. This is because the position of the data within the
report determines the source of the data.
Pseudobinary Formats
Pseudobinary formats produce ASCII reports of 6-bit pseudo-binary formatted data values. The
formats are “pseudo”-binary, because each sensor value is expressed in the range of ASCII
characters, but not in such a way that is readily human-readable.
Pseudobinary B (Interleaved and Non-Interleaved)
The Pseudobinary-B Interleaved format is identical to the 8210 binary transmission format.
“Interleaved” means the most recent values of all sensors come first, followed by the next most
recent, and so on. “Non-interleaved” means all the data for sensor 1 is followed by all the data
for sensor 2, and so on, i.e., the data is not “interleaved” according to time.
This pseudobinary format cannot be easily read by a person. Here’s is an example message:

1
BLOCK-IDENTIFIER is always sent as "B" to
indicate that this is the pseudobinary B format.
Group ID
1
GROUP-ID can be "1" to indicate a scheduled
transmission, “2” meaning an alarm transmission,
