Message polling

The POLL Sensor_ID Message_ID command requests the Message_ID from the Sensor_ID. Where Message_ID is a SkyVue PRO message type as defined in MCFG command message types.

The following example uses the SkyVue PRO POLL command to request preconfigured message outputs.

First configure the SkyVue PRO to use polling mode from the terminal interface via the MCFG command as follows:

This configures the SkyVue PRO into polling mode leaving your message output configurations unchanged. Exit the terminal by typing the CLOSE command. This will save the changes you just made.

Automatic message outputs should continue. Type the POLL command as shown below to verify that the system is working as expected.

This should return all messages you have set via the MCFG command. In this example, only default message output was set. Therefore, the POLL command returns text similar to the following.

The following example shows how to use the POLL command to request a specific message output type.

To poll the SkyVue PRO for a particular message type, enter the following.
