Command content lenght. 10 bytes

Command Code

Fuel sensor ID

Packet Head

Note:
Fuel sensor ID :from 00 to 99. Setting and query for one fuel sensor connected.
The purpose of fuel sensor ID =00
If you forgot you ever set the fuel sensor ID. you didn’t know the ID now.
Try to send the below command to get the fuel sensor ID.
@00G032019D#
So By this inspecting command,you can get the current fuel sensor ID.

1.2.8 Read or Set damping

Command code: H
Command function: Default,JT606X’s damping time is 300 seconds.
Command example: @01H051006005#

60 Sec,Damping time in seconds : From 5 to 600

Command content lenght. 4 bytes

Command Code

Fuel sensor ID

Packet Head

Note:
If you set the damping time to 60 seconds, It doesn’t mean JT606X will delay output the fuel level signal 60
seconds.
JT606X will calculate the average fuel level value from current time to last 60 seconds.
e.g.
If you set damping time 60 seconds, and your device requests the JT606X fuel level value every 5 seconds.

0 60 65 75 120 135 180 240 300 360 T(sec)

At the time point “135” ,JT606X will calculate all fuel level values between time point “75” and “135”,and Outputs this
average value at “135”.
