Appendix D. SDI-12 Sensor Support

and valid entries for pp (pressure/level) are:

0 = psig

1 = kPa

2 = bar

3 = feet

4 = meter

5 = inch

6 = millimeter

Only SDI-12 instruction

aM!, aM7!, and aM8! output the results obtained

when using the multiplier and offset. The multiplier and offset are only applied

to the pressure/level value, not to the temperature.

The extended SDI-12 command used to configure sample number is

aXCONFIG2=nnn!, where nnn is the number of samples that will be

measured to obtain the final output value, which is an average of the samples

taken. This value only applies to the

aM8! command. The integration time is

a result of the number of samples selected. This value can be derived by

adding 2 s to the number of samples. For example, if nnn = 50, then 50

samples would be averaged. The integration time for this process is 50 plus 2,

or 52 s.
