Polling Operation Commands (Ethernet Only)

On the Ethernet output, the Data channel can operate asynchronously or by polling.

Measurement results are automatically sent on the Data channel when the sensor is in the running state and results become available. The result is sent on all connected data channels. A client can:

• Switch to a different job.
• Align, run, and trigger sensors.
• Receive sensor states, health indicators, stamps, and measurement results

A sensor sends Control, Data, and Health messages over separate channels. The Control channel is used for commands such as starting and stopping the sensor, loading jobs, and performing alignment (see Command Channel).

The Data channel is used to receive and poll for measurement results. When the sensor receives a Result command, it will send the latest measurement results on the same data channel that the request is received on. See Data Channel for more information.

The Health channel is used to receive health indicators (see Health Channel).
