Configuration Commands
Configuration commands instruct the Module to temporarily modify specific default settings for
measurement criteria. A new pump flow rate may also be specified. The host does not have to
command the Module into the unprotected mode prior to issuing a new flow rate command.
A description of these commands is included in the following table.
Host Command Description
Change CO
2
waveform update rate
Allows the host to specify how often the Module sends a CO
2
wave-
form data packet. The Module generates a CO
2
measurement every
31msec. The maximum update rate is 31 msec. The host may pro-
gram the rate to xx increments, where xx is the number of 31msec
increments per packet.
where xx (ASCII) defines the CO
2
waveform update rate
based on the number of 31msec increments.
xx range 00h to FFh
xx default 01h, 31 msec interval
Examples:
send a CO
2
waveform data packet every 31 msec (1
× 31
msec)
send a CO
2
waveform data packet every 155 msec (5 ×
31 msec)
send a CO
2
waveform data packet every 7.9 seconds
(255 × 31 msec)
stop sending waveform data
Change breath data clear rate
Allows the host to specify how long the Module waits for a new
breath data packet before clearing the breath data (ETCO
2
= 00h /
RR = 00h / InsCO
2
= 00h).
where xx (ASCII) defines the “no breath” timeout in sec-
onds
xx range 10 to 60 s (0Ah to 3Ch)
xx default 0Fh, clear breath data after 15 s of “no breath”
Example:
clear the breath data after 10 seconds of “no breath”
