8.4 Accessories commands
8.4.3 LED accessory
For purposes of troubleshooting, an LED with series resistor can be connected to an internal pin of the SQM-LU. All
commands (seen in table 8.17) to this accessory result in a response (seen in table 8.18).
Using the LED to indicate when a reading is being requested is an ideal method to determine if the controlling software
is actually accessing the SQM-LU.
