Measure Command

The Measure Command causes a measurement sequence to be performed. Data values generated
in response to this command are stored in the sensor's buffer for subsequent collection using "D"
commands. The data will be retained in the sensor until another "M", “C” or "V" command is
executed.

"aM!"

"atttn"

Initiate measurement

Where: a

is the sensor address ("0-9", "A-Z", "a-z", "*", "?").

M

is an upper-case ASCII character

ttt

is a three digit integer (000-999) specifying the maximum time, in seconds, the
sensor will take to complete the command and have measurement data available in
its buffer.

n

is a single digit integer (0-9) specifying the number of values that will be placed in
the data buffer. If "n" is zero (0), no data will be available using
subsequent "D" commands.

Upon completion of the measurement, a service request "a" is sent to the data logger
indicating the data is ready. The data logger may wake the sensor with a break and collect the data
anytime after the service request is received or the specified processing time has elapsed.
