4. Register Configuration

Command 1 (12)

The address 12 is used to reset the AS311 by T3 program.

Two types of reset commands are available, hot reset and cold reset.

The hot reset is used to change the trailing code and the time-out check time settings. The cold reset is used to initialize the AS311. The trailing code and the time-out check time will be reset to the default setting. The operation of the cold reset is the same as the hard reset switch and power on initialization.

Refer to sections 5.5, 5.6 and 5.7 for these functions.
