ESCRIPTION A complex command that can be used to check the status of the SDI-12

subsystem, as well as configure it.

ARAMETERS The command has a multitude of options. If issued without parameters, the GET

variant is implied, i.e. the status of the SDI-12 subsystem will be returned (see also

below). The full extent of the commands is not given here as the the SDI-12

subsystem is configured via the wireless link by using the GUI configurator in the

A840 Telemetry Gateway. Additional information can be obtained from Adcon

Telemetry upon request.

RETURNS Following information is supplied in the form of a string of characters (the GET

variant):

• a/A — The presence of the SDI-12 adapter: a absent, A present

• w/W — The system is in wait state: w not waiting, W waiting for an SDI-12

sensor

• m/M — Measurement command started: m no measurement is being done,

M a measurement is in progress

• v/V — Values for storage available: v no values are available, V values are

available for local storage

• d/D — autodiscovery initiated: d no autodiscovery pending, D

autodiscovery pending (will be done at the next sensor poll cycle)

In addition, for every programmed SDI-12 sensor, following information will be

listed:

• sensor id — the sensor ID in ASCII (0 - 9, A - Z and a - z)

• method + CRC — the measuring method, either M (normal) or R

(continuous), optionally followed by the CRC flag (C)

• index — the indices used (in hexadecimal), e.g. 0x3 if indices 0 and 1 are

used

Note: For further information about the significance of the above terms please refer to the

SDI-12 standard specification, version 1.3 (http://www.sdi-12.org).
