operate for extended periods under low solar radiation conditions.

VAILABLE FOR

A731 A733A732 A733GSM

ESCRIPTION Sets/returns the node’s sampling interval and rate.

PARAMETERS The interval (60 - 65535) and rate (0 - 255). The interval represents the time (in

seconds) elapsed between two slots stored in the internal memory, while the rate

represents the numbers of samples used to build the average that will be stored.

RETURNS The interval and rate.

REMARKS GET/SET. The default interval is 900 (15 minutes) and rate is 15 (15 samples per

quarter of an hour).

REMOTE Yes, SET only.

DESCRIPTION Sets/returns the node’s Power Management Parameters (switches on/off the

battery charge).

ARAMETERS The lower (switch on) and the higher limit (switch off), both in volts x 10. Standard

Values are 65 (for 6.5 Volts) for switch on and 72 (for 7.2 Volts) for switch off (for a

standard 6.2 Volt NiCd battery). From these values, other thresholds are internally

computed.

ETURNS The lower (switch on) and the higher limit (switch off), both in volts x 10.

EMARKS GET/SET.
