Trace/Xantrex C35 charge controller meter out to serial port?

[(unknown)]

I noticed that people on this forum have determined the purpose of each of the wires for the Trace/Xantrex C series charge controller temperature sensor.  Has anyone figured out the data format of the meter lines?

I've hooked it up to a serial port and from 115-4800 bps the data stream is visible, but it doesn't look like any of the speeds are a match.

The Xantrex Link 10 battery meter feeds out comma delimited values.

Can you provide a snippet of the data output? You're not seeing any patterns at all?

The C35/C40/C60 doesn't have serial a port connector option like the Link 10.  It has a rj12 connector meant for a meter made by Xantrex.

Here is some of the stream I captured with the C35 hooked up.  Its in hex.

At 4800bps and up nothing was read.

Could someone with a Xantrex CM or CM/R take a look at the pc board and tell me what it says on the crystal?

couldn't one just run this output through a hex dumper and see some useful alphanumeric values?
