    ----------- [Sw_xtr_19] - NTU sensor reading --------------------

    Explanation: Basic example that turns on, reads and turn off the
    sensor. Measured parameters are stored in the corresponding class
    variables and printed by the serial monitor.

    Measured parameters:
      - Temperature
      - Turbidity in NTU (1NTU = 1FNU)
      - Turbidity in mg/L
