FORMAT struct {
unsigned int ID;
} setId;
DESCRIPTION
This frame requests a remote to change its own ID number. The remote will answer
with a General acknowledge frame
before
changing its ID. An A733 will never issue
this frame type, but it will answer to it.
SEE ALSO General Acknowledge frame.
Set Slot Time and Sample Rate
ID 41
FORMAT struct {
unsigned int slot;
unsigned char rate;
} setSlot;
DESCRIPTION
This frame requests that a remote change the size of its slot (default 900 seconds,
i.e. 15 minutes) and the sampling rate (default 15).
• slot is the number of seconds a new slot of sampled and averaged data will
be stored in the internal FIFO memory of the device.
• rate is the number of samples per slot taken; these samples will be averaged
before being stored.
The remote will answer with a General acknowledge frame. An A733 will never issue
this frame type, but it will answer to it.
SEE ALSO General Acknowledge frame.
Set Frequency
ID 42
FORMAT struct {
unsigned long frequency;
unsigned int step;
} setFreq;
DESCRIPTION
This frame requests that a remote change its frequency. The remote will answer with
a General acknowledge frame
before
changing its operating frequency. To further
secure the transaction, the frequency change will be performed only after the re-
mote receives the acknowledge frame from its next neighbor (for more details, see
also “Generic Format of a Radio Frame” on page 57). An A733 will never issue this
frame type, but it will answer to it.
SEE ALSO General Acknowledge frame.
