4.4.12 Manual Message
The ceilometer can be set to transmit user defined cloud heights and status
information. The user can set a cloud message in the format of line 2 of any
real cloud message (e.g. Msg 1). The message must be between quotation
marks, see example. This message is volatile. The manual message command
is behind the password "advanced". Below is an example of a manual
message:
CEILO>ADVANCED
PASSWORD ACCEPTED !
CEILO>set message manual_msg "30 00200 01000 05000 00000000"
MANUAL MESSAGE: 30 00200 01000 05000 00000000
If the given message does not have the correct format, it is not accepted and
an error message will follow. To return to the normal measurement mode,
give an empty string :
CEILO>SET MESSAGE MANUAL_MSG ""
MANUAL MESSAGE NOT ACCEPTED
USE FORMAT: "30 00100 02000 15000 00000000"
MESSAGE MODE IS NORMAL MEASUREMENT MODE
The manual message is intended for testing purposes. After reset the normal
cloud detection mode takes effect.
4.5 Polling mode
A port can be set to transmit a message only when polled by a predetermined
polling string of characters. The polling string can contain the message
identification.
The CT25K unit can be assigned an identification of one character digit or
letter. The factory setting is 0 (zero). The polling mode is activated with the
command:
CEILO>SET MESSAGE MODE POLLING
and return to normal autosend mode is done with command
CEILO>SET MESSAGE MODE AUTOSEND.
The polling string format is
