Command
Notes
#059;{baud rate}
Sets the sensor baud rate as required.
Available baud rates are 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, 115200.
Example:
#059;9600
#001;nn
Sets the sensor address to any number from 01 to 99
#002
Responds with current sensor address
#005;ON (or OFF)
Turns the miniIPS address mode on (or OFF). In address mode, the sensor will only
respond to commands prefixed by its address, or the global address “00”.
Example:
03:#028
Sensor address “03” begin sampling
Example:
00:#028
All sensor addresses begin sampling
5.2.3. Sampling Pattern
The miniIPS will operate in 3 different modes:
CONT
Continuous mode, where data is output at a fixed frequency from 1 to 16Hz
SINGLE
Single mode is effectively “Sample on Demand” – when instructed, the sensor will
measure and report a single reading
BURST
Burst mode is useful for longer term deployments, where data is measured for a number of
samples, and the sensor then “sleeps” for a defined period of time. The measured data
may be averaged or output as it is.
In each case, the sampling mode is set using the command #003. Note also that the command #004 will return
the current sampling pattern.
