CHECKING THE SERIAL PORT NETWORK OPERATION

Normally measurement readings are asked when the transmitter is in POLL
mode; the command must then include the address of the transmitter. If the
settings of the transmitter need to be changed, the transmitter is switched to
STOP mode with command OPEN; commands can then be given without
address. When the line to the transmitter is closed, it returns to POLL mode.

STOP mode

Open the line to the transmitter:

open 22
HMP 22 line opened for operator commands

Transmitter no. 22 is now temporarily set to STOP mode; it accepts
commands sent without address until CLOSE command is given. Individual
settings can now be easily modified. Do not open more than one line at a time.

Use command ? to find out the settings of the active transmitter:

When the necessary settings have been made, close the line to transmitters
(the command closes all open lines):

>close
line closed

CLOSE command is always given without address. If no line is open, there
will be no response to the CLOSE commands.
