m. A/D Photoelement Conversion Reading Command - 0x50 (‘P’ ASCII) 
Reads the result of the A/D conversion for an expansion of 21 photoelements. 
 
Host sends: 
 
 
where: 
e = 1 byte with the expansion number to read (1 to 21) 
a = 1 byte with the result in bit of the conversion for the photoelement 1 
n = 1 byte with the result in bit of the conversion for the photoelement 21 
x = checksum (complement to one of the Length, Type and Data field bytes sum) 
 
The result of a conversion can be interpreted as follows: 
 
V 
Photoelement 
[ mV ] = Bit 
Photoelement
 * 5000 / 255 
 
Note: the 3 less important bits of a conversion [2-0] have to be zeroed before the calculation.  
The scanning times vary and depend on different factors such as the number of photoelements, the 
measurement  type  selected  and  the  binary  or  ASCII  data  format.  The  values  can  vary  from  a 
minimum of 8 reaching a maximum of 90 milliseconds.
