Autonomous Monitoring Mode

Accessing Autonomous Mode​

  • Type mode from the primary menu and select option 2 and then configure the sensor

Autonomous Mode Operation​

In autonomous mode, the sensor operates independently, following a pre-set measurement routine. Key details about this mode:

  • Disabled Communications: All major communication functions to the sensor are disabled in this mode.
  • Automatic Start: The sensor begins its pre-set scan routine immediately upon power-up.
  • Audio Signals:
    • On power-up, the sensor emits a single beep.
    • 1–3 seconds later, it emits three additional beeps to confirm it has started operating.
  • Streaming pH Data: When the sensor is connected to a terminal interface via an appropriate program, it streams live pH data.

Accessing Functions in Autonomous Mode​

  • Send the command #700 through a terminal window.
  • This action pauses the current scan routine and allows for reconfiguration.

Returning to Autonomous Mode:

  • Either repower the sensor, or send a reboot command
  • After restarting, the sensor restarts its pre-set measurement routine.
