Version ID Requests
When the Survey Mode is active, the instrument accepts Criterion 400
format requests for the firmware version ID.
The format is as follows:
$PLTIT,RQ,ID<CR>[<LF>]
$PLTIT The Criterion message identifier.
RQ Indicates a request message.
ID Indicates the request type.
<CR>[<LF>] A carriage return and optional linefeed.
The instrument’s response is as follows:
$PLTIT,ID, model, versionid *csum<CR><LF>
$PLTIT,ID Identifies the message.
model Indicates the UltraLyte model (UL100).
versioned The version ID of the internal firmware.
*csum An asterisk followed by a hexadecimal checksum.
The checksum is calculated by XORing all the
characters between the dollar sign and the asterisk.
<CR><LF> A carriage return/line feed combination, which
terminates each Criterion-format message.
