POLL mode

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

send 22
RH= 24.4 %RH 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.

More than one baud rate can be used on an RS 485 line. E.g. the host of the
line can use different baud rates with different devices (this makes it possible
to use the same address for several devices).

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.
