RemoDAQ-8054 User’s Manual Baud rate and checksum settings have several things in common: They should be the same for all modules and host computer. Their setting can only be changed by putting a module in the INIT* state. Changed settings can only take effect after a module is rebooted To alter baudrate or checksum settings you must perform the following steps:...
RemoDAQ-8054 User’s Manual 3 Command Set Introduction To avoid communication conflicts when several devices try to send data at the same time, all actions are instigated by the host computer. The basic form is a command/response protocol with the host initiating the sequence. When modules are not transmitting they are in listen mode.
