2DESCRIPTION OF THE TD CSV HOST PROTOCOL
As an alternative, a second host protocol named TD CSV is available. The structure of the
outputted frame is almost the same as the previously presented protocol, but the type and
the number of fields actually present in the frame are configurable, thanks to an AT
command (see below).
-Like the previously presented host protocol, each frame is terminated by CR+LF ASCII
characters, and organized into fields, each one separated from the others by a special
ASCII character. In this protocol, the special character is a colon character “:”.
The available fields are:
oVibby Leaf PCB’s serial number (which is not automatically the one printed on the
product box label). It is made up of 12 ASCII characters, in which the last three
ASCII characters are « x » (They are in fact not transmitted by RF. As they are thus
unknown, an « x » is printed instead.)
oThe Receive Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) that gives a measure of the power
level of the received signal. The result is a negative number in dBm unit that could
range down to -127 dBm and up to 14 dBm.
oThe event type in ASCII characters. The possible events are:
« help » : signals a manual push on the alarm button.
« fall »: alarm event corresponding to a confirmed fall detection (sent after
pre-alarm vibrations, if those ones are not cancelled by an activity
recovery).
« unconfirmedfall » : alarm event, that appears after an unconfirmed fall
detection (sent before the pre-alarm phase): this event is optional.
« info » : Technical and automatic event (silent) sent every 23 hours
(depending on RF protocol), in order to verify if the device is functioning
properly or not.
« bind »: Special event (optional) that happens during a Fall Detector
pairing. This event can also be transmitted when a long push on the alarm
button happens. It may be used for different purposes, such as a nurse
taking care acknowledgement (optional).
oBattery state in ASCII characters:
« batlow » : Battery is low on energy and needs to be replaced
« batok » : Battery is Ok
