dust slopes etc.
(see manual section 4.2)
4. A person on-site and a remote person reading DustIQ data and the manual .

DustIQ LED light interpretation
Regular operation, 5 seconds of blue led light with a 60 second interval
Feedback during the Tare or field calibration are given by the 2 sensors and the calibration button.
There are 2 cases:
1. Slow blinking is 1x per second, confirmation and DustIQ awaiting next input
2. Fast blinking is 10x per second, this is the error signal
for further information see error code in register 27
Both signals last 30 seconds in total, before normal operation restarts.
