OPEN aa

SMODE xxxx

aa

STOP, RUN or POLL

The OPEN command sets the bus temporarily in STOP mode so that the SMODE
command can be given. For example:

>SMODE

which mode is in use at the moment

Serial mode : STOP

>SMODE STOP

setting STOP state

Serial mode : STOP

OPEN & CLOSE

OPEN nn

nn

=

address of the transmitter (0...99)

CLOSE

In STOP mode:

command OPEN has no effect, CLOSE sets the transmitter in POLL
mode

In POLL mode:

command OPEN sets the transmitter temporarily in STOP mode,
command CLOSE returns the instrument to POLL mode

When more than one transmitter is connected to the same serial bus, the POLL mode
makes it possible to communicate with the transmitters. For example, a relative humidity
calibration is performed at transmitter 2 ( = ASCII 7):

OPEN 2

'HMP nn line opened for operator commands'

CRH

...

CLOSE

'line closed'
