Description

NeoFox is a dynamic measurement system that has been designed to work with a variety of optical probes to

measure oxygen in a variety of conditions. To support the various probe technologies and the broad spectrum of

applications that employ the system, the NeoFox measurement system itself has a multitude of configuration

options that must be considered by developers and advanced scientists. This document will discuss the process

by which NeoFox parameters are written to and read from the device. It assumes that the reader already has a

basic understanding of how the NeoFox measures oxygen and a basic understanding of general programming

concepts.
