9 Data Requests and Output Formats

Notes:
•
All commands must be confirmed using "Carriage Return" or "Enter" on the keyboard, with the
exception of the "Stop" command (#).
•
All commands are echoed back by the instrument as they are typed

9.1 Stop Command

The instrument can be stopped when it is awake by sending the '#' character.
Once interrupted the instrument returns a '>', and waits for a further command. If no command is received
for 5 minutes then the unit will resume operation and return to its sampling pattern.

9.2 Run Commands

B1 Burst sampling pattern of 30 seconds / 1 minute
B2 Burst sampling pattern of 40 seconds / 6 minutes
