5 Setting Up the mniIPS2
5.1 Start / Stop
When power is applied to the miniIPS, it will immediately begin to operate according to the settings already
programmed. The most basic level of Stop / Start control is, therefore, by switching power on and off.
# Code
Description
#
When the instrument is running, the miniIPS2 and 2e may be put into set up mode
at any time by typing the ‘#’ character followed by the ENTER key. The device will
respond with a command prompt ‘>’ and wait the next instruction.
When interrupted an error is often seen. This is generated due to the <CR><LF>
usually associated with the # and should not be interpreted as a problem with the
uvSVX
A “watchdog” function is in operation within the miniIPS2 and 2e
If the unit is interrupted with the ‘#’ character, and no further command is received
for a period of 5 minutes, the sensor will automatically begin sampling data using the
existing settings
#028
