Description:
 

Output of a WetLabs fluorometer passed through a MetraByte A/D converter to convert the 0-5 volt dc fluorometer output to serial (count) data. The MetraByte device sets the output decimal point as necessary for best resolution, which results in a 1 volt dc fluorometer value being represented as +01000.00 in the raw MetraByte serial stream.
