All commands are a series of bytes. They respect the following format:
Byte n°

Element
Header
Command
Mask
CRC - 8
The header is one byte: (0 decimal / 0x00 hex)
The command field is a byte that indicates which action you want to perform (example
modify the running mode)
The mask field depends on the command. The Data Field contains the data corresponding
to the Command to be executed.The data field cannot be empty.
The error checking field contains an 8 bit value which is the result of a Cyclical
Redundancy Check (CRC) calculation performed on the message contents

The TeraRanger Multiflex can be used with less than 8 sensors. This allows the sensors to
work at higher update frequencies. To enable this, the user needs to inform the terminal
emulation software about the sensor units to be used by inputting the correct command
line. This section shows an example of how to configure 5 sensors (Figure 22).
