ASCII Polled (UV and Polar)
When in the Polled mode, an output is only generated when the host system sends a Poll signal to the WindObserver
consisting of the WindObserver Unit Identifier – that is, the relevant letter A – Z.
The output formats are otherwise as described above.
The commands available in this mode are:
Description Command WindObserver response
WindObserver Unit Identifier A ….. Z Wind speed output generated
Enable Polled mode ? (None)
Disable Polled mode ! (None)
Request WindObserver Unit Identifier & A ….. Z (as configured)
Enter Configuration mode *<N> CONFIGURATION MODE
Where <N> is the unit identifier, if used in a multi-drop system then it is recommended that ID’s A to F and KMNP are not
used as these characters can be present in the data string.
