A single measurement value is output (Single Shot mode).
MMTyyyy
Controls the data output via the service interface.
Measurement values are output cyclically; time must be subsequently
specified:
yyyy =
Time specification in ms.
Example: MMT0500.
Measurement values are output via the service interface in a
time interval of 500ms.
MM-
Deactivation of the MMTyyy function.
If the cyclical output via the service interface is no longer required, the
function must be deactivated using the command MM-.
PC20
Resets all parameters in the BPS 8 to Leuze default values.
V
Version query, or puts the device into service mode.
This requires a "V" to be transmitted during the initialization phase of the
BPS 8.
