Description
Use the BR command to change the sensor serial interface baud rate. The new baud rate
setting will only come into effect when the sensor is next powered-up or after a Reset
command (RSU) has been received.
If the baud rate is changed, you will only be able to communicate with the sensor if the host
computer
’s baud rate is set to the same baud rate. If you do not know what the current
setting of the sensor baud rate is you will need to try each baud rate in turn until you
establish communication.
