Integration with TY Command

The TY Command allows enabling/disabling capture mode without reconfiguring header/footer:

Configure delimiters but leave inactive

>SCXTY02030<

Activate capture when needed

>STY1<

Deactivate capture

>STY0<

Operation Flow

1. Configure delimiters with CXTY:

   >SCXTY02030<   # STX=0x02, ETX=0x03, inactive

2. Activate capture when needed:

   >STY1<

3. External device sends data:

   <STX>Sensor data<ETX>

4. Rinho captures and sends automatically to server

5. Exit mode:

   +++

Use Cases
