Reset sensor, reloading last settings

 

 
Description 

Use the RS command to reset the sensor software. The sensor will be ready to receive new 
commands or take readings from a maximum of 2 seconds after any reset command is 
sent.  
 
To restart the software, but continue to use the previous user parameter settings use the 
RSU command 
To restart the software, but load the saved parameter settings use the RSS command. 
To restart the software, but load the factory default parameter settings use the RSF 
command 
 
See command US (Section 7.4.25) for a description for setting or querying these Saved 
Parameters.
