Protocol
The device communicates with the host via a WCH CH9325 USB interface chip. See the protocol section of that page to extract the protocol as described here.
Commands
| Byte | Description |
|---|---|
| 0x01 | Start sending realtime data |
| 0x02 | Stop sending data |
| 0x07 | Start sending stored data |
Received data
Temperature is encoded as ASCII digits. The number represents the temperature * 10. Unused digits are represented by 0x34 (ASCII colon), and should be ignored. A completely invalid measurement is represented as four times 0x3b (ASCII semicolon). This happens when no probe is connected.
The data comes out of the USB HID encoding in packets of 19 bytes each:
| Byte | Description |
|---|---|
| 0 | unknown |
| 1-4 | Current probe temperature. |
| 5 | ASCII digit 1-3, representing the measurement unit: Celcius, Fahrenheit or Kelvin respectively, or 0 when unknown (in recall mode; unit is not stored.) |
| 6-7 | Number of stored reading in recall mode, as ASCII digits 00-99. Always 00 in realtime mode. |
| 8 | Unused, always 0x30.
|
| 9-10 | Hour, as ASCII digits. |
| 11-12 | Minutes, as ASCII digits. |
| 13 | Selected probe, as ASCII digits 0-3: 0=T1, 1=T2, 2=T1-T2 (T1 on main display, 3=T1-T2 (T2 on main display). |
| 14 | |
| 15 | |
| 16 | |
| 17-18 | Always 0x0d 0x0a (CRLF), denoting end of packet.
