SECTION 9. INPUT/OUTPUT INSTRUCTIONS

PARAMETER 3. LOCATION

This parameter determines the starting input location for the 'n' values to be returned to the recorder. The 'M' or 'M1-M9' command issued by the SDI-12 recorder determines if the starting location is actually that specified in Parameter 3 or a multiple of 'n' past Parameter 3.

Starting input location = Parameter 3 + (n*x), where n is specified in Parameter 2, and, x is the number following the 'M' sent by the SDI-12 recorder (1-9).If the 'M' command is sent by the recorder x = 0.

Results of Instruction 106

The sensor CR10 will return a set of input locations in response to the M or M1..M9 command sequence. The set of Locations returned is determined by Parameters 2 and 3 of Instruction 106.

The three values, sent in response to a V command sequence, indicate the status of the sensor CR10. The first and second values are from the *B mode of the sensor CR10, giving the number of watchdog errors (E08) and the number of table overruns that have occurred. The third is a signature of the sensor CR10 memory. This signature is created by the same technique that the Instruction 19 (Signature) uses. The CR10 manual contains more information on *B and Instruction 19.

In response to an I command, the sensor CR10 sends the string '10CAMPBELL CR10 001 aaaa' where aaaa is the number from the eighth window of the *B mode.
