# Write Value To Serial
Writes the full data received data via ``radio`` to serial in JSON format.
**Note** - This method only works for [send number](/reference/radio/send-number) and [send value](/reference/radio/send-value). It does not work for [send string](/reference/radio/send-string) (although a string can be sent with [send value](/reference/radio/send-value)).
Writes the data received by ``radio`` to serial in JSON format.
```sig
radio.writeValueToSerial();
```
## Data received format
The format for received data printed to serial is as follows
- [send number](/reference/radio/send-number) - ```{v:ValueSent,t:MicrobitTimeAlive,s:Unused}```
- [send value](/reference/radio/send-number) - ```{v:Value,t:MicrobitTimeAlive,s:Unused,n:"Name"}```
- [send string](/reference/radio/send-string) - ```{}``` (currently unavailable)
### ~hint
This method only works for [send number](/reference/radio/send-number)
and [send value](/reference/radio/send-value). It does not work for
[send string](/reference/radio/send-string), although you can send a
string as part of [send value](/reference/radio/send-value).
