Appendix C.2. Communication protocol commands
There are several types of commands used for communication with sensor:
1. commands for requesting measured data and diagnosing (see Appendix C.2.1);
2. commands for controlling operating mode (see Appendix C.2.2);
3. commands for requesting factory settings and properties (see Appendix C.2.3);
4. commands for sensor configuring and span calibration (see Appendix C.2.4);
5. commands for configuring net address (see Appendix C.2.5);
6. commands for controlling power consumption mode (see Appendix C.2.6).
Always check command syntax before sending. Commands that are not
listed in this user manual are prohibited. Otherwise, it may result in
malfunction of sensor.
In earlier versions of the firmware, some commands are unavailable.
Appendix C.2.1. Commands for requesting measured data
There are five commands available for user to request concentration value. Primary
command to request measured data is <@*X> as it requires minimum power to process it.
