7.5.2.1 Example Program
Below is a portion of a CR10X program that measures the radar sensor.
The instructions below do not store data in final storage. Instruction
92, Instruction 77 and processing instructions such as Instruction 70
are required to store the data permanently.

1: SDI-12 Recorder (P105)
1: 0 SDI-12 Address
2: 0 Start Measurement (aM0!)
3: 1 Port ;this is where the white wire is connected
4: 1 Loc[Data_1 ]

End Program
After Instruction 105 is executed, the input location called “Data_1” will hold the
measured stage, reported in feet or metres (depending on the Unit of Measure
setting). The input location called Data_2 will hold the distance measurement,
reported in feet or metres (depending on the Unit of Measure setting). The input
location called Data_3 will hold the error code; an error code of 0 indicates that the
sensor is functioning properly (see Section 8, Diagnostics, Repair, and
Maintenance).
Note that Port 1 specifies that the SDI-12 data line is to be connected to the Port C1.

8.1 Testing Procedure
The test procedures for the sensor require the following steps:
1. Double check all wiring connections.
2. Connect the sensor to your datalogger and apply +12V power.
3. Compare the Output Stage versus the Actual Stage using the Start
Measurement command followed by the Send Data command (see Section
8.1.1, Start Measurement Command).
4. Send the Acknowledge Active command (see Section 8.1.2, Check Unit
Response). This command is used to check the presence of the sensor on the
bus. Only the address is sent back in response.
5. Send the Identification command (see Section 8.1.3, Check for Valid Data).
