RETURNS A list of strings separated by spaces. REMOTE No. EXAMPLE CMDS 193 CMDS CMDS ID PMP RSSI TIME FREQ DEV DEL REPL SLOT DATA INFO RX TX ERA 0 # COMMAND TIME APPLIES TO A720B, A723 DESCRIPTION Sets/returns the real time clock. PARAMETERS The actual time, or none in the GET version. RETURNS The actual time as dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm:ss. REMARKS GET/SET. REMOTE No. EXAMPLES TIME 12/12/1998 22:10:10 193 TIME 0 # TIME 193 TIME 12/12/1998 22:10:10 0 # CHAPTER 4 Using terminal commands COMMAND FREQ • CAUTION Do not change the frequency of your device without reason. Apart from the fact that it may not communicate with the network anymore, you may also violate the applicable radio- communications laws in your country. Depending on the destination country, some models may also return an error message when trying to use this command. APPLIES TO A720, A720B, A723 DESCRIPTION Sets/returns the operating frequency. PARAMETERS The operating frequency and step (Hz), or none in the GET version. RETURNS The actual frequency and step, in Hz. REMARKS GET/SET. REMOTE Yes, SET only. EXAMPLE FREQ 433925000 25000 193 FREQ 0 # FREQ 193 FREQ 433925000 25000 0 # COMMAND RSSI APPLIES TO A720, A720B, A723 DESCRIPTION Sets/returns the Relative Signal Strength Indicator threshold at which an RF receiver must wake up. PARAMETERS The threshold value. For the A720 family, it can take values from 0 to 255; it is typically factory set to 58. For the A723, it typically factory set to 42. RETURNS The instant RSSI value and the programmed threshold. REMARKS The factory default is set to 58 units. The RSSI threshold is used to detect if any radio activity is on the channel. The value set must be approximately 30% higher than the actual measured value when no signal is present on the channel. To measure the actual value, use the command RSSI with no variables or parameters. CHAPTER 4 Performing Advanced Functions REMOTE No. EXAMPLE RSSI 58 193 RSSI 0 # RSSI 193 RSSI 44 58 0 # COMMAND ID APPLIES TO A720, A720B, A723 DESCRIPTION Sets/returns the node’s ID. PARAMETERS The node ID. RETURNS The node ID. REMARKS GET/SET. REMOTE Yes, SET only. EXAMPLE ID 4557 193 ID 0 # ID 4557 ID 4557 0 # 6556 ID 7557 6556 ID 0 # Note: The last example shows a case where a remote node was instructed to change its own ID from 6556 to 7557. Even if it changed its ID, it answers with the old ID in order to correctly finish the transaction. COMMAND SLOT • CAUTION Changing these parameters may adversely affect the ability of the device to operate for extended periods under low solar radiation conditions. CHAPTER 4 Using terminal commands APPLIES TO A720, A720B, A723 DESCRIPTION Sets/returns the input storing and sampling intervals. PARAMETERS storage represents the time (in seconds) elapsed between two slots stored in the internal memory, while samples represents the numbers of samples used to build the average that will be stored. RETURNS The interval and rate. REMARKS The default storage is 900 (15 minutes) and samples is 3 (3 samples per quarter of an hour). REMOTE Yes, SET only. EXAMPLE SLOT 900 3 193 SLOT 0 # SLOT 193 SLOT 900 3 0 # Note: The A720B base station needs only the rate. For consistency, however, it accepts both parameters and discards the one it doesn’t need. COMMAND PMP APPLIES TO A720, A720B, A723 DESCRIPTION Sets/returns the node’s Power Management Parameters (switches on/off the battery charge). PARAMETERS The lower (switch on) and the higher limit (switch off), both in volts x 10. Standard Values are 65 (for 6.5 Volts) for switch on and 72 (for 7.2 Volts) for switch off. RETURNS The lower (switch off) and the higher limit (switch on), both in volts x 10. REMARKS GET/SET. REMOTE Yes, SET only. EXAMPLE PMP 65 72 193 PMP 0 # CHAPTER 4 Performing Advanced Functions PMP 193 PMP 65 72 0 # COMMAND CM APPLIES TO A723 DESCRIPTION Sets/returns the A720 compatibility mode. PARAMETERS 0 means A723 native mode while 1 switches the unit in A720 compatible mode. In this mode, although the device presents itself as an A723 (when issuing the INFOcommand), it will return the frame type 38 when asked for DATA (see also “DATA” on page 36). This mode is useful when the A723 device is used with the A720B base station or with an addVANTAGE 3.35 software (addVANTAGE 3.4 and later recognizes an A723 in its native mode). There is also an additional compatibility mode (CM 2) that forces the A723 to respond with an A720 compatible answer to the INFO command. This mode is not recommended for normal use. By default the A723 devices are delivered in native mode (CM is 0). RETURNS The current mode. REMARKS GET/SET. REMOTE No. EXAMPLE CM 1 193 cm 0 # CM 193 CM 1 0 # COMMAND SST APPLIES TO A723 DESCRIPTION Sets/returns Sensor Sampling Time. This is the delay allowed for the sensors to settle after applying them power and until they are sampled. PARAMETERS The settling time in seconds. CHAPTER 4 Using terminal commands RETURNS The actual sensor settling time (default is 2 seconds). REMARKS...
