POLL — Poll Data 
This command fetches data from WMT700. You need to specify the data 
message number in the polling command.  
NOTE 
When WMT700 is in low-power mode, it does not receive the first 
character in the command. Thus, you must send an extra character 
(space) before the polling command to receive data.   
 
 
$aPOLL,y<CR><LF> 
 
Where 
$ = Fixed text. 
a  =  WMT700 address. If the value is 0, it refers to any 
WMT700 address. 
y  =  Identification number for the data message format.  
 
For a list of data message formats, see Table 23 on page 
93. 
 
Example: 
In this example WMT700 data message 1 is polled from WMT700.  
 
$0POLL,1<CR><LF> 
 
SLEEP — Enter Low-Power Mode 
This command switches WMT700 from normal operating mode to low-
power mode. For more information on the sleepTime parameter, see 
Table 18 on page 82. 
 
$aSLEEP<CR><LF> 
 
where

a  =  WMT700 address. If the value is 0, it refers to any WMT700 
address.
