NOTE
If the id character in a polling string is replaced with a blank space, all
ceilometers on the line will respond. Accordingly, if No is a blank space,
CL31 sends the default message. In RS-485 mode id is always needed,
the blank space is ignored.
LD40 message is polled by sending an LD40 Command Telegram. See
Table 20 below for a description of the command telegram frame of a
polling request.
