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 20 mA current loop
standard current flows with no transmission on line. A maximum of 6 devices
can be connected on same single loop line, but the number can be increased to
9 by using dual loop wiring.

More than one baud rate can be used on a current loop line. E.g. the host of
the line can use different baud rates with different devices (this makes it pos-
sible to use the same address for several devices).
