SDI-12 is a single master multi-drop bus. As many as 10 sensors can be connected to the bus at a
time. Each sensor is preassigned a unique address from 0 to 9. Each 6000

UPG

is factory set to

address 0. The address can be changed in the System Setup menu (see Section 4.5). The 6000

UPG

implements the basic SDI-12 command set. Below are the descriptions of each command and their
responses. At the end of this section, you will find the 6000

UPG

commands that are used to run and

troubleshoot SDI-12.
