Message_ID_D 
Message_ID_E 
 
Note that if low baud rates and message intervals or short polling are 
required it may not be possible to output multiple longer messages. 
Message_ID is the message type to output between 0 and 999 (default 
001). If Message_ID = 0 no message type will be output. Up to 5 
messages can be set. Please refer to Section 5.1.4.
NEWLASER
No parameters
Resets the laser run time counter.
OPEN
ID 
Password 
Open the CS135 terminal mode. 
 
ID = Sensor ID as per the terminal command “ID” 
 
Password = The sensors user password as per the terminal command 
“PASSWORD”. The default is no password. 
PASSWORD
Password
Sets or clears a password from 1 to 10 characters in length. Valid ASCII 
characters 0-9, a - z or A – Z and letters are case sensitive. Typing the 
command PASSWORD without any parameters clears the password. 
The default is no password. 
POLL
Sensor_ID 
Message_ID 
Requests the message Message_ID from the sensor Sensor_ID. 
Refer to the Section 5.1.6 for more information on this command 
Note: Message_ID outputs the message configured by MCFG. 
PSU
Blower_Voltage 
Boost_Volts 
Battery_Current 
PSU_Present 
Sets PSU battery charge parameters and external blower speed. 
 
Blower_Voltage sets the voltage applied to the external blower in milli-
volts (mV). From 8000 to 14000. The default is 12000. 
 
Boost_Volts sets the boost voltage to be applied to the PSUs battery in 
mV. From 11000 to 16000. (Note: It is not recommended that the 
customer alters this parameter without first consulting Campbell 
Scientific.). The default is 14520. 
 
Battery_Current sets the charge current in milli-amps (mA). From 100 
to 1500. The default is 400. 
 
PSU_Present sets a flag indicating if a PS135E PSU is connected to the 
sensor. 
PSU_Present = 0, Power supply is not fitted. 
PSU_Present = 1, Power supply is fitted. (default) 
 
REBOOT
No parameters
Forces a system reboot. This will restore previously saved user settings. 
Any unsaved changes will be lost. (Settings are saved in terminal mode 
when the command CLOSE is typed, which exits the terminal mode).
