Protocol

The host sends commands to the device via endpoint 2, and receives responses via endpoint 1. A command consists of a single byte, with the MSB (bit 7) cleared, followed by any arguments to the command. The response from the device consists of at least one byte: the command, with the MSB set.

Description	Command	Response
Configure	0x01 + 6 bytes	0x81
1 Sample rate 0-6, representing 125ms, 500ms, 1s, 2s, 5s, 10s, 60s respectively. 2 Alarm low threshold 3 Alarm high threshold 4 Time weighting: 0=Fast, 1=Slow 5 Frequency weighting: 0=dBA, 1=dBC 6 Data source: 0=memory, 1=real time
Identify	0x02	0x82 + length byte + device model (ASCII)
Set date and time	0x03 + 6 bytes	0x83
1 Last two digits of year, e.g. 0x0d for 2013 2 Month, 1-12 3 Day of month, 1-31 4 Hours 5 Minutes 6 Seconds
Check status	0x04	0x84
Start acquisition (depending on data source)	0x05	0x85 + 8 bytes
1-6 Configuration settings of acquired data, same format as 0x01 command (except 0x11...) 7 ? 8 ?
Get next measurement	0x08	0x88 + 2 bytes: big-endian integer representing the dB value X 10
