14.1.1 Example of a SET Command

14.2 The SETNC Command

The format of the SETNC command is nearly exactly the same as the SET
command. The only functional difference is that the SETNC command does not
commit the values set into flash memory. This means that the next time the
CS125 is power cycled it will revert back to its previous settings. This command
should be used when a setting in the sensor is changed regularly, e.g. heater
functions, as this command avoids the risk of wearing out the flash storage
memory. Note: this includes communication data rates as well.

14.3 The GET Command

The GET command retrieves settings data from the CS125, including message
format data and user alarm settings amongst others. This command does not
retrieve visibility or environmental information from the CS125. To retrieve
visibility data refer to the POLL command.
