Description

Reports parameters or executes sub-commands relating to the logger's power sources as follows: 

• source is a read-only parameter which responds with one of the following names:

  • usb  the logger is drawing power from the USB connection.

  • internal  the logger is drawing power from its internal battery.

  • external  the logger is drawing power from an external power source.

• internal is a sub-command used to access all the available parameters associated with the logger's internal battery.

• external is a sub-command used to access all parameters associated with the logger's external power supply.

The source parameter can not be used together with sub-commands in a single instance of the command, and only one sub-command at a time can be invoked. A sub-command must immediately follow the instrument power command. Parameters of a sub-command must follow the sub-command. Here are some examples of valid and invalid commands; invalid commands will provoke an error message:

For more details on the sub-commands, refer to the specific internal and external option pages.
