Switch off time stamp in serial string

My code:

BEGIN"dms2"
RA2SERIAL""
 2SERIAL("%s[1$]\013\010",W) 1$
LOGONA
END

This is my serial input data, from TSS DMS Heave sensor actually:

Then I unload data with Detransfer on the menu <data transfer><unload>, the data i got is:

Though I can use MS Excel to do some processing to get pure string out, but the end user would not like the extra step. Is there some easy switch to command DT80 not to place the job name, time stamp and check sum(?)etc on the pure string?

Thanks,
orange

Is there some easy switch to command DT80 not to place the job name, time stamp and check sum(?)etc on the pure string? Thanks, orange

Good morning Orange,

The reason for the time and date stamps is because your dataTaker is in fixed format mode. To change to CSV format set the switches:

/h/R
/n/c/u
P22=44
P24=13
P33=0

Or as you are using DeTransfer press the CSV button on the bottom left.

Cheers,
Roger
