waveform and breath data. A mainstream

sensor disconnect or a sidestream water trap removal causes the
module to wait for a sensor reconnect or sidestream Water trap
insertion. This is the preferred operating mode since temporary
sensor removal and replacement is typical in normal operation.

for MS
for SS

Enter measurement mode

Same as auto run mode except for mainstream sensor disconnects
and sidestream Water trap removals. Instead of waiting for a sensor
reconnect or Water trap insertion, the sensor’s activity is halted and
the module reverts to the standby mode and requires a new
or host command to restart measurement.

Enter warm standby mode

Provides a low power standby state for the module during sensor
warm up in mainstream operation since warm up time may be as long
as several minutes. Standby mode keeps the sensor warmed and
ready. Standby mode also reduces battery drain.

for MS
for SS

Enter standby mode

Used when a low power standby state for the module is desirable.
This prolongs the life expectancy of the IR source, chopper motor and
heater since these components are disabled in this mode.

The module automatically reverts to a fault mode if a module or sensor fault occurs. A message is sent
via the status response by the module to the host.

Simple Commands

Simple commands instruct the module to send module data or sensor EEPROM data and to reset the
module software or a sensor error.
