The Configure | Sleep Mode (HiLi Xdcr) menu item opens the following window:

If Sleep Mode is enabled (factory default) then the battery saving features of the Level Scout are enabled, and all commands sent to the
transducer must be prefixed by the special SDI-12 serial port Break/Mark sequence (see Advanced properties of the Xducer Site Net
Com Port configuration window). Only when such a “prefixed” command is completed does the transducer enter the Sleep state again
to conserve battery power. If Sleep Mode is disabled then the use of the Break/Mark sequence is optional but battery consumption
may also become excessive. Therefore, always use an external power source with the transducer that has Sleep Mode disabled.

The current Sleep Mode state (enabled/disabled) of the transducer is indicated by the option button selected. Select the desired state
by clicking the corresponding option button and then click OK to change it.

The Configure | Update Firmware (HiLi Xdcr) menu item is described fully in section 4.2.7.
