* CDS Continuous Digital Streaming
The streaming option associated with the ASC300-70 series beacon receiver provides a continuous, two byte, data stream running at 9600 baud that contains ten bits of signal strength level indication as well as lock or alarm condition of the unit. A female DB9,interface connector on the rear of the unit is specifically dedicated for this option.
