Description

A command which returns general sensor information for the instrument. 

To access general information about all sensors within an instrument the command can be sent without any arguments. The parameters which will be returned are:

  • count is the number of sensors installed in the instrument.

  • list reports a list of all the sensor labels.  There is no particular significance to the order in which sensors are reported, but for a given instrument the order is fixed.  Labels in the list are separated by a pipe character ('|'), with no spaces.

Parameters are not directly modifiable; they summarize the results of other operations.

<< sensor count=3 list=0123456_00|9876543_00|5678901_00

To access information for a specific sensor send the <sensor_label> as an argument to the sensor command. The following parameters give the basic information available for all sensors. They are all read-only parameters.

  • sn represents the serial number for the specified sensor.

  • pn  represents the RBR part number for the specified sensor.

  • fw reports the sensor’s current firmware version

  • hw reports the hardware revision of the sensor

  • channellist [<channel_label_list ...>] reports a list of logger channels that are associated with this sensor.  Labels in the list are separated by a pipe character ('|'), with no spaces. 

Derived channels will not appear in the channellist. Derived channels are not associated with a particular sensor because in most cases they depend on multiple sensors.
