6.4  Typical temperature reading sequence 
Once  all  parameters  have  been  set,  the  following  sequence  should  normally  be  followed  to  extract 
temperature information from your FOB100 thermometer. 2 procedures can be used for this  purpose. The 
first method consists in using the “ta” command (preferred), while the second sequence would be: 
a)  The host computer should send the “t” (or “t[i]”) command, followed by a 
E
 character. 
b)  The  thermometer  responds  by  echoing  the  requested  temperature  values,  as  indicated 
above; the transmission is terminated by a “*” character. 
c)  When  the  “*”  character  is  received,  it  is  suggested  to  immediately  terminate  the  dialog 
session by having the host computer issue the “r” command followed by a 
E
 character.
