If a BREAK is sent before changing the external device’s communication parameters, the
Sentinel V Real-Time returns to the communication parameters stored in non-volatile
memory (user settings).
CF – Set Control Flags
Purpose Sets various Sentinel V Real-Time data flow-control parameters.
Format CFnnnnn
Range Firmware switches (EnsCyc; PngCyc; Binary; Serial; Record, Ethernet)
Default CF111100 (serial) CF111001 (Ethernet)
Recommended Setting. The default setting for this command is recommended for most applications.
Description The CF-command defines whether the Sentinel V Real-Time: generates data ensembles au-
tomatically or manually; generates pings immediately or manually; sends serial output data
in binary or Hex-ASCII format; sends or does not send output data to the serial or Ethernet
interface.

Command Description
CF1xxxxx Automatic Ensemble Cycling – Automatically starts the next data collection cycle after the current cycle is completed. Only a <BREAK> can stop
this cycling.
CF0xxxxx Manual Ensemble Cycling – Enters the STANDBY mode after transmission of the data ensemble, displays the “>” prompt and waits for a new
command.
CFx1xxxx Automatic Ping Cycling – Pings immediately when ready.
CFx0xxxx Manual Ping Cycling – Sends a < character to signal ready to ping, and then waits to receive an <Enter> before pinging. The <Enter> sent to the
Sentinel V Real-Time is not echoed. This feature manually controls ping timing within the ensemble. Note the prompt output by the Sentinel V
Real-Time when ready to ping is a less-than symbol (<), to distinguish it from the normal command prompt.
CFxx1xxx Binary Data Output – Sends the ensemble in binary format, if serial output is enabled (see below).
CFxx0xxx Hex-ASCII Data Output – Sends the ensemble in readable hexadecimal-ASCII format, if serial output is enabled (see below).
CFxxx1xx Enable Serial Output – Sends the data ensemble out the RS-232/422 serial interface.
CFxxx0xx Disable Serial Output – No ensemble data are sent out the RS-232/422 interface.
CFxxxx1x Reserved for future use - Enable recorder
CFxxxx0x Reserved for future use - Disable recorder
CFxxxxx1 Enable Ethernet Serial Output – Sends the data ensemble out the Ethernet interface.
CFxxxxx0 Disable Ethernet Serial Output – No ensemble data are sent out the Ethernet interface.
