How To Get Unique Device Identification Using Continuous Scanning Mode

Hello,

I am developing an application using nodejs on a raspberrypi to communicate with ANT+ devices. I have managed to set up a ANT USB2 stick in continuous scanning mode and am receiving 4Hz heart rate data from multiple real sensors at once. However I now noticed that I am unable to distinguish which device the messages are coming from. Is there a way to determine which address a message is coming from in continuous scanning mode? Please keep in mind that I am communicating through the serial interface to the USB stick as opposed to an actual chip and as a result I am not sure if I have access to communications at lower levels than the application layer (although I could be wrong?).

Thanks

Nathan

I've found the solution. Extended messaging format! Hope this might help someone else.
