Description
Use the HT command to set the sensor heater parameters, including switching the heater on
or off and configuring the heater set point. It is possible to query the sensor’s internal
temperature. It is also possible to query the duty cycle of the heater, which specifies the
percentage of the current being drawn by the heaters.
By default the sensor requires a minimum of 11VDC for heater operation. This setting can be
modified on request by the factory or via the command detailed in Section 6.4.17.
