Campbell Scientific PWS100 Present Weather Sensor - Manual (Page 80)

Section 7. Operation
Select the Xmodem 1k protocol and select the OS file using the ‘Browse’
button. Once selected press the ‘Send’ button. The Xmodem file send dialog
box then opens displaying download progress and will close automatically
once the download has completed. The OS can be seen to be being installed by
a series of memory block erasures, followed by writing of the OS and
verification of the OS. The user is then prompted to wait for 5 seconds for the
OS to restart. The new OS is now installed.
Do not remove power to the unit while the OS is being
installed as this will cause the unit to malfunction. WARNING
Hyperterm PWS100 OS upload and data collection will not work
when an NL100 is used in the communications link. NOTE
7.8.2 Running a Diagnostic Test
To run a DIAG test first the fields need to be set by using the DIAGSET
command as below:
DIAGSET Stats_Period Diagnostic_Fields ↵
The Stats_Period parameter is the period in seconds that statistics are
calculated over ranging from 0 to 32767.
The Diagnostic_Fields parameter is a list of fields required as listed in Table
7-2. There is no restriction on the type or combination of fields that can be
output.
If DIAGSET is executed with Stats_Period and Diagnostic_Fields blank then
the diagnostic field parameters will be output without changes.
The diagnostic message type is 9000 and this is can be seen with
both the outputs of DIAGSET and DIAG commands. NOTE
To run diagnostic tests use the DIAG command as below:
DIAG Output_Rate ↵
Output_Rate is the rate in seconds ranging from 0 to 32767. If Output_Rate is
not entered then the Output_Rate will be set the same as the Stats_Period.
e.g., DIAG 10 ↵
In the example above the PWS100 will output the diagnostic information with
statistics calculated over a period defined by the DIAGSET command at an
output rate of 10 seconds. This information will continue to be displayed until
the key combination ‘Ctrl + C’ is pressed, or after 10 minutes has passed.
