Sutron Corporation Satlink Operations & Maintenance Manual, Rev 8.04.2 11/3/2016 pg. 160
Every setup field can be changed by typing
setup = value
where setup is the name of the field and
value is the new value. By just typing the name of the field, the current value and the range of
the field are shown.
For example, typing STATION NAME shows the current station name. Typing STATION NAME =
SUTRON changes the station name.
>STATION NAME
Setup NOT changed
Station Name = DEMO, max length 23
To change setup try STATION NAME = SUTRON.
>STATION NAME = SUTRON DEV 1
Setup changed
Station Name = SUTRON DEV 1, max length 23
Changing measurement setup fields requires that the measurement be named. For example, to
change the
Measurement Type
it is not enough to type MEAS TYPE. You need to provide the
number of the measurement in question: M1 MEAS TYPE shows the
Measurement Type
of the
first measurement. M2 MEAS TYPE works for the second measurement.
>M1 MEAS TYPE
Setup NOT changed
Meas Type = SDI-12, Range (0=Precip Accumulation, 1=Precip Rate, 2=SDI-12,
3=Analog, 4=Battery, 5=Wind, 6=Digital, 7=Meta, 8=Manual Entry, 9=Internal
Temp, 10=Accubar Pressure, 11=Accubar Temp)
To change setup try Station Name = Sutron
In the example above, the user typed M1 MEAS TYPE, which will show the measurement type
field of the first measurement. The example shows the type as being
Internal Temp.
After the
current type is shown, the range shows all the options for the measurement type. To set up the
measurement as SDI-12, the user may type either M1 MEAS TYPE = SDI-12 or M1 MEAS TYPE = 2.
Setting the whole setup to defaults can be accomplished by typing SETUP DEFAULTS. Setting just
measurement one to defaults can be done via M1 SETUP DEFAULTS.

Measurements
To view the setup and the last reading made measurement one, type M1. Use M2 for
measurement two, etc.
To view all the last measured readings, type LAST. It will show a reading for every active sensor.
Typing LAST does not initiate new measurement.
To initiate a new measurement for each active sensor, type MEAS. Satlink will measure each
sensor one at a time and display results as it goes along.
If you are interested in only one specific measurement try M1 LAST and M1 MEAS. Those will
show the last measured value and initiate a new measurement, respectively
