MONITOR_ON or MONITOR_OFF

Each line has the form:

for example 12 CPU_idle (percent): 63.10.

Response​

OK MONITOR_ON
OK MONITOR_OFF

Example​

monitor.py
from hmcls_udp import Board

board = Board("192.168.1.11")
board.request("MONITOR_ON")     # open the serial monitor of the app to watch the telemetry
# ...
board.request("MONITOR_OFF")
