Setup of the Commands
8.3.1
The commands for the sensors are comprised of command data which are transmitted in full duplex mode.
Each command packet is comprised of a whole number multiple of 32 bit words (see Fig. 20).

Structure of a command packet
Fig. 20:
Since most serial interfaces use an 8 bit data format, 4 consecutive bytes are combined into a 32 bit word.
Each command packet has a header consisting of two 32 bit words followed by the command and, if re-
quired, other data as well. The top two bits (No. 31 and 30) are always “0“ in the transmitted command.
