8.9 AT^MONP Monitor neighbour cellsThe AT^MONP supplies information of up to six neighbour cells. There are two ways to retrieve the information:
once on request by using the execute command or automatically every <period> seconds by using the write
command. To stop the periodic presentation type "AT" or "at".

Notes
• Due to the fact that not all necessary information of the neighbour cells can be decoded during a connection,
there are several constraints to be considered:
- Only neighbour cells that have already been visible in IDLE mode will be further updated, as long as they
are still included in the list.
- Though new neighbour cells can be added to the list (e.g. due to handover), their C1 and C2 parameters
cannot be displayed until the connection is released. In this case "-" is presented for C1 and C2.
- To some extent, the cell monitoring command AT^SMONC covers the same parameters. The receiving
level, for example, can be queried with both commands. Yet the resulting values may be slightly different,
even though obtained over a time period of a few seconds. This is quite normal and nothing to worry about,
as the cell information is permanently updated.
• For compatibility with earlier products and to support legacy applications, any input character may be used to
stop the output in certain cases (depending on the settings of AT+IPR and AT+CMUX).
