Note : While we are using SonUtils , if no valid entry is sent to the system for five minutes,
the ADP may power itself down to conserve energy. If this happens, just send another
Break
to the ADP to wake it up again. Whether or not your ADP goes to sleep after five minutes
depends on the system configuration. Typically, a Standard or Mini ADP system will go to
sleep after five minutes; a RiverCat will not go to sleep.
