Status Type Calibration and Unit Parameters
The last two bytes for status type and status value in the packet rotate to output the sensor information
including, time, GPS status, temperature, firmware, calibration data, and sensor setting parameter, etc.
Status type H, M, S, D, N, Y, G, T and V output once every 16 packets (one cycle).
Calibration data and sensor setting parameters are loaded from the flash memory when the sensor is
powered on and are alternately output in the last 7 packets of the cycle. The whole set of this intrinsic
data needs 4160 packets or 260 cycles (4160 divided by 16 equals 260).
The following table shows status type H, M, S, D, N, Y, G, T and V only once in cycle 1. For table
simplicity, starting from cycle 2, the table only shows the status types of the last 7 packets in the cycles.
