Send Identification Command (aI!) 

This command is used to query sensors for their SDI-12 compatibility 
level, model number, and firmware version number.  

The following is an example of the command: 

aI! 
 

where 

a 

= 

The sensor address. 

I 

= 

The send identification command 

! 

= 

Terminates the command. 

 

The following is an example of the response: 

allccccccccmmmmmmvvvxxx . . . xxx<CR><LF> 

where 

a 

= 

The sensor address.  

ll 

= 

The SDI-12 version number, indicating 
SDI-12 version compatibility; for example, 
version 1.1 is encoded as 11. 

cccccccc 

= 

An 8-character vendor identification Vaisala

_

 

mmmmmm = 

6 

characters 

specifying the sensor model number 

WS425. 

vvv 

= 

3 characters specifying the firmware version 
604. 

For example, 
xxx ... xx 

= 

An optional field, up to 13 characters, used for a 
serial number or other specific sensor 
information that is not relevant for operation of 
the data recorder (not used). 

<CR><LF> 

= 

Terminates the response. 

 

Address Query Command (?!) 

When a question mark (?) is used as the address character with the 
acknowledge active command (

a!

), the sensor will respond as if it is 

being addressed on the SDI-12 bus. For example, if a sensor detects 

?!

, it 

will respond with 

a<CR><LF>

,

 no matter what its address may be. This 

will allow a user to determine the address of a sensor. The user should 
understand that if more than one sensor is connected to the bus, they will 
all respond, causing a bus contention.
