Simulated Test Messages 
Present Weather Sensor FS11P can be set to a simulation mode, which 
includes transmitting fixed or user defined visibility and status 
information. This function is intended for system testing purposes. The 
normal visibility detection mode takes effect after a reset. The simulation 
mode can also be stopped with the advanced level command 
SIMULATE OFF. 
The user can either choose a fixed test message or define the entire 
message content. The fixed simulation message is selected with the 
advanced level command SIMULATE TEST_MESSAGE. 
There is a predefined fixed test message for each message type. If a fixed 
test message is selected, one of the messages in the following section is 
transmitted depending on the message type selection. The data values in 
the messages are as shown in the following section. The frames of the 
messages are not fixed but depend on the current configuration. 
When changing the predefined fixed test message type, first turn the 
simulation off by giving the advanced level command SIMULATE OFF 
and then change the message type (with the command SET MESSAGE 
TYPE number). Turn the simulation on again by giving the command 
SIMULATE TEST_MESSAGE. 
Message 3 (Status message) has no simulation message.
