The DIG1 Page
(MetPak RG and MetPak Pro Base Station) can be used to select:-
DIG1 Sensor
ON
or OFF
Sensor Type - Choose a title from a drop down list.
Units - Allows a choice of measurement units depending on sensor chosen. For instance MM or IN
for Rain.
Count can be set from 0.001 to
10.000
in 0.001 unit steps to represent one switch closure taking
place.
If using a Rain Gauge it should be set to match the Rain Gauge calibration figure for example
0.199 (mm/hr.).
Substitute Name - A field available for typing in a user name between 3 to 8 characters long.
In Continuous Output Mode
A count will occur of the number of switch closure events taking place over 1 second (default 1Hz
output rate or during 2 seconds (0.5Hz) or during 4 seconds (0.25Hz)) and will be output in each
digital data output reading (when DIG 1 enabled).
In Polled Mode
The MetPak RG/Pro Base Station will store and output the cumulative total number of switch
closures since the last poll request. Once the cumulative total has been output the count will be
reset to zero.
The maximum number of count events will be 9999, if the number counted exceeds 9999 an
overflow character E will be output in the data string.
NOTE:
Once all settings have been chosen then save Edited Page Settings to MetPak RG/Pro Base
Station by clicking on ‘Save Settings to Device’ this will change the MetPak RG/Pro Base Station
configuration to reflect the new MetSet settings.
