ReadCounter
Counts the number of times a packet has been sent to the controller. This number has a maximum of 4294967296. When
the maximum is reached, the number rolls back to 0 and begins counting up again.
SensorReadPeriod
Used to define frequency the current sensor readings are transmitted. Larger periods
between transmissions will conserve battery power.
At power up, the device sends data packets every 10 seconds for the first 6 packets. After the
first 6 packets are sent, the device reverts to sending packets at the Read / Send Data setting
(1 minute buy default). This is to facilitate programming in cases where a long read period is
desired. Even with very long read periods, simply cycling the power
will cause parameters to
be written without having to wait for the sensor read period to time out.
BufferState
It is used to indicate whether the data packet was buffered by the sensor prior to successfully
transmitting the data to the Controller. “0” indicates the data wasn’t buffered by the sensor.
“1” Indicates the data was stored in the sensor’s buffer.
BufferHeadPointer
Indicates the most recent packet held in the buffer.
BufferTailPointer
It indicates the oldest unsent buffered packet in the buffer. When the BufferHeadPointer and
BufferTailPointer are the same, the buffer is empty.
RTD1ValueCalibration, RTD2ValueCalibration
It contains the factory calibration for the input channels.
Factory Reset
Web (soft reset)
Writing anything to the <FactoryReset> location will return all parameters except for the <UserName> and the
Network Key to factory defaults. This parameter is not sent from the sensor to the controller so no data is
presented.
Short (hard reset)
All parameters can be reset by shorting the two circled pads
labeled “RESET” together for 4 seconds
. The LED will blink
rapidly once the reset is triggered. Please note the factory reset
will move the sensor to its unlinked state.
WRITE PARAMETERS
In order to conserve power, MeshNet sensors sleep when not reading the
sensors or sending data. When sleeping, they cannot receive wireless
data. Because of this, writes are queued by the MeshNet Controller and sent when the Sensors are awake.
Writes Pending
The number of writes waiting to be sent to the sensor.
Writes Succeeded
The number of writes that have been received and acknowledged by the sensor.
4
Power should be removed for 30 seconds to ensure immediate transmission.
5
Shorting the “Reset” pads briefly (less than 4 seconds) will trigger a sensor transmission.
