You can change the following settings:
- Parameters included in the precipitation data message
- Update interval in the time based autosend mode
- Precipitation units
- Hail units
- Autosend mode
- Counter reset
- Rain accumulation limit
- Hail accumulation limit
Change the setting with the following command. Select the correct value/letter for the setting fields.
Command format in ASCII and NMEA 0183:
aRU,R=x,I=x,U=x,S=x,M=x,Z=x,X=x,Y=x<cr><lf>Command format in SDI-12:
aXRU,R=x,I=x,U=x,S=x,M=x,Z=x,X=x,Y=x!| R, I, U, S, M, Z, X, Y | Precipitation sensor setting fields |
| x | Input value for the setting |
| <cr><lf> | Command terminator in ASCII and NMEA 0183 |
| ! | Command terminator in SDI-12 |
Examples (ASCII and NMEA 0183):
Changing the precipitation units to imperial:
0RU,U=I<cr><lf>
0RU,U=I<cr><lf>Changing the autosend mode to the tipping bucket mode:
0RU,M=C<cr><lf>
0RU,M=C<cr><lf>Making the Rain amount Rc and Rain intensity Ri available both in the precipitation message and composite data message:
0RU,R=1010000010100000<cr><lf>
0RU,R=10100000&10100000<cr><lf>| For more information about composite message fields, see Composite data message (aR0). |
The response after the change:
0R3<cr><lf>
0R3,Rc=0.00M,Ri=0.0M<cr><lf>Example (SDI-12, device address 0):
Changing the counter reset mode (resets the precipitation counters):
0XRU,Z=M!0<cr><lf>
