odds) of transmitting the data. Through careful choice of these values, it is possible to
improve data throughput while at the same time permitting shared channel usage with
other packet stations. The persistence algorithm has been added on top of the DWAIT
algorithm.

PERM
immediate
The PERM command causes all changed parameter settings to be stored in EEPROM.
Those changed parameters that require a reset to enable them, will not take effect until
the next reset (power off/on cycle, or RESET command) occurs.
PING callsign
immediate
Entering the PING command and a callsign, causes a single request packet to be
addressed and transmitted to the specified station. When that station hears this request, it
will immediately transmit its current gbeacon information, in place of its next scheduled
beacon.
POLLID n
(n = 0000 to 9999)
default (blank)
This entry specifies this TALONs address when it is operating in POLL mode. If set to
0000, this unit operate as a “master”, in POLL mode. If set to a number other than 0000
(0001 to 9999), this unit will operate as a remote.

RANGE n-m
(n=[-]0-254.00000, m=1-255.00000)
default 0-255/0-255/0-255/0-255/0-255/0-255/0-255/0-255
The 8 A/D inputs are normally read by the microprocessor, in response to the ANALOG
command, as a single byte value from 0 to 255, representing a voltage from 0 to +5 V on
the input pin. You can use the RANGE command to mathematically convert that single
byte value to any offset and scale you want. If you would like the input to be expressed as
