User Cases 19© 2017 Nortek AS4.5 Checking instrument state over EthernetIn this example a user connects to and powers the Ethernet port, but is unsure of the currentoperational state. If power is applied while in measurement mode, it will continue themeasurement but not wake the Ethernet processor (BBP). If power is applied while indeployment state a re-synch will occur and resume sleep mode. Hence it is necessary to useBBPWAKEUP in both cases.A typical sequence starts by wanting to know the state of the instrument before proceeding witheither a new measurement or data retrieval.%Waking up the BBP to make sure commands are receivedBBPWAKEUPOK%Inquiring the state the of the instrumentGETSTATEGETSTATE,MODE=0010,DEPTIME=27521,MEASTIME=27521,CURRTIME="2015-09-28 11:21:16",WAKEUP=2OKThis indicates the instrument has been configured to deploy and has started its scheduleddeployment for 27521 seconds.
