dxtool - DistoX download tool

       This manual page documents the dxtool command.

       dxtool is a utility to download measurements from the DistoX cave surveying device

       Often you can just use the command in its simplest form:
       dxtool
       downloads all stored data from /dev/rfcomm0
       dxtool-r
       waits for incoming data and downloads it
       dxtool-p/dev/rfcomm1-x-s0x300-e0x500
       dumps raw data in hex form from address 0x300 to 0x500, connecting via device /dev/rfcomm1

              Bluetooth port (default: /dev/rfcomm0)

       -v     Verbose operation (dump every sent/received packet)

       Operation Modes:

       -m     Dump all stored measurements (default mode)

       -r     Wait for DistoX-initiated transmissions (new measurements)

       -x     Dump memory in hex digits

       -d     Dump memory in decimal

       In -m/-x/-d modes use -s/-e options to specify start and end addresses
              (default: 0 ~ 0x7fff):

       -s<Hex-address>
              Specify start address

       -e<Hex-address>
              Specify end address

       dxtool [ -p <port> ] [ -s <startaddr> ] [ -e <endaddr> ] [ -v ] [ -m|-x|-d|-r ]

       During  dxtool  operation,  it  is  neccessary  to  keep the device powered on (ie. prevent the power-off
       timeout). For example, by pressing random keys other than the measurement key.

       Before using dxtool, you need to power on the device and estabilish a SPP connection, for example using:

       sudo rfcomm connect /dev/rfcomm0 10:00:e8:be:a5:18 1
