10.4.31 Status Layer
Command = SL <Command ID><Layer>
Command ID = <Byte> See Description in Table 10-13.
Layer = <Byte>Layer number (0 – 200 or 255 (0xFF))
 Layer = 0 will return the status of six layers. The response will include all active
layers. If there is less then six active layers the data for the inactive layers will
be filled with zeros.
 Layer = 255 (0xFF) will return the status for the active layer, if there is only one.
If more than one layer is active, an error will be returned.
 Layer = 1-200 will return the status for the requested active layer. If the
requested layer is inactive, an error will be returned.
Response = See Data Returned in Table 10-13.

Active Sensors 1 or 6 <Byte> Active Sensors Byte is an eight-bit
word where each bit represents a
sensor
Any bit set indicates a sensor is active for the requested layer.
Bit 0 = Sensor 1, bit 1 = Sensor 2, thru bit 7 = Sensor 8.
