Port Expander Guide 5.3 Units Unit of measure, use F for Fahrenheit or C for Centigrade, the setting automatically adjust the alarm set points to the corresponding values. Function Define the units for the temperature report Syntax AT$UNIT=<unit> Parameter <unit> one character, it should be F or C Default Response HeaderOK|ERROR,IdFooter 5.4 Device Id To set a unique device identification. Function Define the device ID of the temperature meter Syntax AT$ID=<id> Parameter <id> is a string with a maximum of 20 characters Default TMP04 serial number Response HeaderOK|ERROR,IdFooter 5.5 Low Temperature Set Point If the reading of temperature drops below this point, a temperature report message is ...
Port Expander Guide 5.6 High Temperature Set Point If the sensed temperature rises above this point, a temperature report message is issued. Allowed values ‐022 to +212 °F (‐030 to +100 °C). Function Define the high temperature alarm report point Syntax AT$SETHI=<sensor>,<sign><value> Parameter 1 <sensor> 1 or 2 Parameter 2 <sign> + or ‐ Parameter 3 <value> 3 digits with leading zeros Default +122 °F (+050 °C) Response HeaderOK|ERROR,IdFooter 5.7 Periodic Report Time Sets the time between automatic reports, values allowed 0 (disable) to 250 minutes. Function Define the time between periodic reports Syntax AT$TIME=<time> Parameter <time> time in minutes, 3 digits with leading zeros Default 015 Response ...

5.14 Query Firmware Version Function To query the firmware version Syntax AT$VER? Response Header,version,IdFooter 5.15 Firmware Upgrade Used to upgrade the TMP04's firmware by means of software supplied by SkyPatrol. It is not an "over‐the‐air" command like all others are. 6 Notes The time between a command and the response is 2 seconds to allow the GPS unit to process the message. The Header, Footer and ID can contain any combination of upper and lower case letters, numbers, symbols and punctuation marks. All the commands must be typed in upper case. The cable from the TMP04 to the sensors should not exceed 50 meters with AWG 22 wire. ...
