COMMUNICATION SETTINGS
Communication protocols
As soon as the WXT510 has been properly connected and powered
the data transmission can be started. The communication protocols
available in each of the serial interfaces are shown in the following
table.
Serial Interface
Communication protocols available
RS-232
ASCII automatic and polled
NMEA 0183 v3.0 automatic and query
SDI-12 v1.3
RS-485
ASCII automatic and polled
NMEA 0183 v3.0 automatic and query
SDI-12 v1.3
RS-422
ASCII automatic and polled
NMEA 0183 v3.0 automatic and query
SDI-12 v1.3
SDI-12

You have chosen the communication protocol (ASCII, NMEA 0183
or SDI-12) when placing the order. In case you want to check and/or
change the protocol or other communication settings, see the
following sections.
RS-232 and SDI-12 can be accessed with a standard PC terminal,
presuming that, for SDI-12, the Data in/out lines have not been
combined inside the WXT510.
NOTE
The RS-485 and RS-422 interfaces cannot be directly accessed with a
standard PC terminal. They require a suitable converter.
NOTE
Hereafter the commands to be typed are presented in normal text
while the responses of the transmitter are presented in italic.
