The idea is to not have to turn the key off to reset the device between states. And to not have to use a physical reset switch. Just to move the monitor switch and hit a button on the software. I think I detailed the required commands in the interrogation thread and the mantis issue? You need to start comms by sending a CR char and then turn on the COP monitor which will reset the device. Turning on the COP monitor is just a matter of writing a value to a register. The SM can write to any memory location so you can just do that and it will reset. Fred.

It would still be nice to have, but certainly is low priority.
