Sutron Corporation Satlink Operations & Maintenance Manual, Rev 8.04.2 11/3/2016 pg. 75
Likewise, at 17:00, the measurement that started at 16:00 is complete. The maximum happened
at 16:12 and the minimum at 16:39.
When it comes time to transmitting minimum and maximum results, Satlink will include a unique
timestamp with each value transmitted. An example below illustrates the formatting:
:ATMIN 91 #60 22.47 :ATMIN 101 #60 22.50 :ATMIN 191 #60 22.53
:ATMAX 71 #60 22.52 :ATMAX 136 #60 22.54 :ATMAX 216 #60 22.58
:ATAVG 41 #60 22.50 22.52 22.56
:ATMIN 91 #60 22.47 means that a minimum of 22.47 occurred 91 minutes ago.
:ATMIN 101 #60 22.50 means that a minimum of 22.50 occurred 101 minutes ago.
Contrast that format with :ATAVG which provides four readings on the same line, most recent
one 41 minutes ago, and subsequent readings each an hour later.

9.3.2.
Measure Type: Precip Accumulation and Precip Rate
Connection: terminals 10, TB/DIN#2 and 9, Ground
Precip Accumulation and Precip Rate are designed to measure the pulses from a tipping bucket
type rain gauge.
Precipitation accumulation is used to tally the total amount of precipitation since the station has
powered up. Count must be set to zero by the user when the station is installed. Counts persist
between power-ups.
