APPENDIX 1
Dosimeter Data Protocol
This document describes the data exchange protocol used between a DMC series dosimeter in 4800 BAUD
and a PAM-TRX sent to a Base or Repeater.
Dosimeter Settings
The correct dosimeter settings for the dosimeter are as follows:
Status word 5 (accessible from Message 11)
Bit 0 set to 1 tele-transmission allowed
Bit 2 set to 1 transmit on request mode
Bit 3 Set to 1 transmit in 4800 BAUD (DMC-2000 only)
This means that the dosimeter transmits data immediately following a strobe signal and the data is
transmitted using the dosimeter internal clock in ASCII format, 8 bits with bit 8 set to 0, and 1 stop bit.
Figure A1 below depicts a timing diagram of the data stream.

The ASCII format of the data is as shown in Table 1 below. The dosimeter data consists of 13 characters,
each consisting of two bytes representing an ASCII character or a set of 4 status bits. The data starts with a
Line Feed (LF) and ends with a checksum CKS. A Carriage Return (CR) is transmitted after the checksum.
The data sent is:
• Dosimeter serial number
• Cumulated Dose
• Current value of the Dose Rate
• Dosimeter Status
The check sum is calculated such that the modulo 256 sum of all 26 bytes is equal to 0.
