  1. On a normally running sensor, open up a TCP connection over port 7501

  2. Run the following commands:

set_config_param auto_start_flag 0

reinitialize

write_config_txt

This will ensure that the next time the sensor starts up, it will stay in the dormant state until it is manually commanded to start spinning and firing lasers again. It will not put the sensor into the dormant state.

3. Power cycle the sensor. Once it comes up again, you will notice that the sensor is in the UNCONFIGURED state and does not fire or spin. Running the following commands will bring it up again:

set_config_param auto_start_flag 1

reinitialize

write_config_txt

Note that once a sensor is up and running, it can’t be put back into the dormant state without going through a power cycle.
