Provides the firmware version
*ANGLE
? / = Enquire / set the radar mounting angle 22.0 0 89.0 Degrees
*BAUD
? / = Enquire / set the BAUD rate of the radar.
The programmed value is stored in
non-volatile memory and is used the next time
the radar is powered on.
*BAUD=<baud>,<flow_control>,
<parity>,<number_of_data_bits>

38400, 57600, 115200,
230400, 460800, 921600
flow control:
0 = no control
1 = flow control
number of data bits: 7,8
*CD
? / =
(
‘=’ for
AGD
only)
Enquire / set the Calibration
Date and calibration
certification number.
Format is: DD,MM,YYYY, certificate_no

*CRC32
?
Calculates and verifies the 32 bit CRC code and
data checksums.
*DIR
? / = Enquire / set the radar direction detection mode.
The programmed value is stored in non-
volatile memory and is used the next time the
radar is powered on.
B A R A = Approaching
R = Receding
B = Bi_directional
N = No Detection
*HBP
? / = Enquire / set the heart beat period in seconds.
Setting the value to zero turns off the heartbeat
message. The programmed value is stored in
non-volatile memory and is used the next time
the radar is powered on.
60 5
(0=off)
600 1 Second
*HELP
List all commands along with command help
information.
*REBOOT
! Force a reboot of the radar
*SN
? Read the serial number. The serial number
includes a checksum calculated using the
XOR function (‘reference page 12’) of all the
characters in the serial number up to and
including the ‘*’ character.
*SU
? / = Enquire / set the speed units used in the
messages.
The programmed value is stored in non-
volatile memory and is used the next time the
radar is powered on.
K K M K = KPH
M = MPH
*TEXT
? / = read / write free-form text to non-volatile
memory.
*TEXT=<string>
Space for 64 characters is reserved in non-
volatile memory but 2 characters are reserved
for NULL termination and ‘\r’ character.
62 characters
*TS
= Uses the internal Target Simulator to simulate
a target.
*TS=<target number><dir>
1 12 Target Number (see
target simulator section)
dir = A or R
*VER
? Provides the product number, firmware
version and date.
