POLL mode

If a transmitter has been set to POLL mode, it will respond only to commands
which include its address:

send 22
aw= 0.244 T= 29.1 'C

Addresses from 1 to 99 can be used. According to the RS 485/422 standard a
maximum of 32 devices can be connected on same bus, but the number can be
increased if the line length and/or baud rate is reduced.

The line terminations must be dynamic; e.g. an RC circuit is used instead of a
simple resistor termination. Each RS 485 module has a dynamic line termina-
tion so it can be used at the end of a line.
