O p e r a t i o n
Your transducer was shipped from the factory preset to address 0 (zero), and with the pressure
units set to those requested in your order. However, if modifications are required for your
application, you should familiarize yourself with the steps and commands needed to alter the
setup of the transducer.
To issue commands to the sensor via SDI-12, you will need to connect it to a data recorder that
is capable of issuing standard and extended SDI-12 commands.
N o m e n c l a t u r e
All commands have three components: the
sensor address
, the
command body
, and the
command termination.
The
sensor address
is a single character and is the first character of a command. In the
examples that follow, it is usually the number
0
(the default address as shipped from the
factory).
The
command body
and the responses are shown as a combination of upper and lower case
letters. The upper case letters are the fixed portions of the command the lower case letters are
the variables or values. In the specific examples, you will see that the lower case letters are
replaced with actual numbers.
All commands are shown with an exclamation point (
!
) as the
command terminator
.
