4. CHECKING THE SERIAL PORT NETWORK OPERATION
Measurement readings are normally asked with the transmitter in POLL mode;
the command must include the address of the transmitter. If the settings of the
transmitter need to be changed, the transmitter is switched to STOP mode with
command OPEN; commands can then be given without address. When the line
to the transmitter is closed, it returns to POLL mode.
4.1
STOP mode
Open the line to the transmitter:
open 22<cr>
HMP 22 line opened for operator commands
Transmitter no. 22 is now temporarily set to STOP mode; it accepts com-
mands sent without address until CLOSE command is given. Individual set-
tings can now be easily modified. Do not open more than one line at a time.
Use command ? to find out the settings of the active transmitter:

When the necessary settings have been given, close the line to transmitters
(the command closes all open lines):
>close
line closed
CLOSE command is always given without address. If no line is open, there
will be no response to the CLOSE commands.
