If there are more than 9 salinity values, a further Start Measurement command (aM! or aMn!) must be
issued.
Command
Response
aM3!
a0187<CR><LF>
The response indicates that another 7 salinity values will be available within a time of 18 seconds. After
approximately 16 seconds, the probe will issue a Service Request (a<CR><LF>, where “a” is the probe
address), and the controlling device will then issue Send Data commands (aDn!) to read the values.

Note: The Send Data commands (aDn!) must be issued in increasing order.
Data Reading using the Start Concurrent Measurement Command (aC! or aCn!)
The following table shows the allocation of sensors for the Start Concurrent Measurement commands
(aC! or aCn!):
aC!
Read Soil Moisture values 1 – 16
aC1!
Read Salinity values 1 – 16
aC2!
Reserved
aC3!
Reserved
aC4!
Read Soil Moisture Configuration values C constants 1 – 16
aC5!
Read Soil Moisture Configuration values B constants 1 – 16
aC6!
Read Soil Moisture Configuration values A constants 1 – 16
aC7!
Reserved
aC8!
Read Salinity Sensor Depth values 1 – 16
aC9!
Read Soil Moisture Sensor Depth values 1 – 16
Note: Start Concurrent Measurement commands (aC! or aCn!) “aC2!”, “aC2!” and “aC7!” will result in
a response of “a0000<CR><LF>”.
