$PAMTC,POST
Summary
Perform the Power-On Self Test.
Syntax
$PAMTC,POST*hh<CR><LF>
The PB200 WeatherStation will reply with a sentence in the following form:
$PAMTR,POST,<1>,<2>,<3>,<4>,<5>,<6>,<7>,<8>,
<9>,<10>,<11>,<12>,<13>,<14>,<15>,<16>,<17>*hh<CR><LF>
Each of the fields <1> through <14> contains an integer value that represents the status of
a simple test performed on a given submodule within the PB200 WeatherStation. For
each field, a value of 0 (zero) indicates the unit passed the respective test; a nonzero
value indicates a possible problem was discovered with the given submodule. Therefore,
a properly operating unit (with all connected options) would reply with
$PAMTR,POST,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,PB200. A standard PB200 would output
$PAMTR,POST,0,0,0,0,0,0,,0,0,0,0,0,0,,,0,PB200, where a Null field indicates sensor not
present.
The fields and their corresponding submodules are listed below.
where
<1> = Internal communication between microprocessors
<2> = Format code
<3> = Factory EEPROM
<4> = User EEPROM
<5> = Air temperature sensor
<6> = Plate temperature sensor
<7> = Standard relative humidity sensor
<8> = Barometric pressure sensor
<9> = Wind sensor
<10> = Compass sensor
<11> = GPS receiver
<12> = Attitude sensor
<13> = Rate gyro
<14> = Optional Galltec relative humidity sensor
<15> = Internal temperature Sensor
<16> = Battery voltage Sensor
