Message Sending Modes 
FS11P messages can either be transmitted automatically at preset 
intervals, or polled by commands or polling strings at intervals 
determined by the host computer. 
Automatic Mode 
In the automatic mode the FS11P sensor sends a predefined message at 
selected intervals. The automatic and default polled message can be 
defined with the SET MESSAGE TYPE command. For available 
messages, refer to section 
Message Formats on page 79. The format of the SET MESSAGE TYPE 
command is as follows: 
SET MESSAGE TYPE Message_number 
The following command selects message 2 as the default automatic 
message: 
SET MESSAGE TYPE 2  
The automatic message interval is selected with the command SET 
MESSAGE INTERVAL. The message interval is given in seconds. An 
interval of zero, which disables the automatic sending, is used when the 
messages are polled. The command format is as follows: 
SET MESSAGE INTERVAL Message_interval 
The following command selects the message to be sent once a minute: 
SET MESSAGE INTERVAL 60 
The following command disables the automatic sending: 
SET MESSAGE INTERVAL 0 
The automatic message number is also the default number for the 
MESSAGE command and polling.
