(Post September 2019)
Enable Low Power Mode:
7.2.1.1 To Place a SWiFT into Low Power Sleep Mode:
#162 Will return an error if Low Power Sleep mode is disabled.
Issue the serial command (#162) to the SWiFT. This powers down the main processes leaving
only the Bluetooth connection running.
All lights will turn off. In this mode the SWiFT will draw ~2.6mA.
7.2.1.2 To Wake a Swift from Low Power Sleep Mode:
Send any character. Do not use # as this will interrupt the instrument. If the instrument is
interrupted, it will need a #028 command to set into run mode.
If the SWiFT has been successfully woken up, within 10 seconds a status message will be
transmitted from the SWiFT and then updated every 10 seconds.
See section on the Status Message for details of this message.
