Protocol

The host sends commands and receives responses via a virtual serial port, with USB bulk endpoint 2 as a backend. A command consists of a single byte followed by any arguments to the command.

Command Response Description
0x0c 0xff Calibrate device, 2 bytes payload:
1 Calibration value, as a signed integer between -10 and 10, where 1 represents 0.1 dB
2 Unused (0x00)
0x0e 0xff Configure device
1-2 Length of data to follow, as a little-endian integer.
3 "REC" LED flash interval, in seconds: 0=none, 10, 20, 30.
4 Bitfield representing the following flags:
7 Activation: 0=immediate, 1=manual
6-5 Unused
4 0=store measurements, 1=real-time
3 Frequency weighting: 0=dBC, 1=dBA
2 Time weighting: 0=Slow, 1=Fast
1-0 Unused
5 Sample interval 1-7, representing 50ms, 500ms, 1s, 2s, 5s, 10s, 60s respectively.
6 Last two digits of year, e.g. 0x0d for 2013
7 Month, 1-12
8 Day of month, 1-31
9 Hours
10 Minutes
11 Seconds
12 ?
13 ?
14 Number of samples to acquire.
