Configuration​

Report Ignition ON and OFF​

# Report when ignition turns ON
>SED00NA0;F00+<

# Report when ignition turns OFF
>SED01NA0;F00-<

Add Debounce (Signal Persistence)​

Prevent false triggers from electrical noise:

# Set 5-second persistence delay for ignition transitions
>SXASP00F00005005<

Track Ignition Time​

The built-in ignition counter automatically tracks total ignition-ON time:

# Query ignition counter value
>QXACEV<

# Expected response example (3600 seconds = 1 hour)
>RXACEV00003600<

Include in reports:

# Add CE extended tag to reports
>SXAEFA;CE<

Example: Full Ignition Monitoring Setup​

# 1. Configure debounce
>SXASP00F00005005<

# 2. Create ignition ON event
>SED00NA0;F00+<

# 3. Create ignition OFF event
>SED01NA0;F00-<

# 4. Include ignition time in reports
>SXAEFA;CE<
