3.8.3. Sensor configuration: Serial commands
Commands can be sent over the Serial Monitor to configure the
ObservAir’s various operational settings. Most serial commands share the
same basic format: $cmd$val where ‘cmd’ is the name of command, and
‘val’ is the desired setting value. For example, the command ‘$setFR$100’
sets the sample flowrate to 100ccm. Table 6 documents all available
commands. All settings are saved to the SD card for each mission.
