4.1.13 Status (ST, COM, R, RV)
4.1.13.1 The Status Window (ST)
The Status Window returns a summary of station set-up details together with a report of current
rainfall and river conditions on user command. Each set-up parameter is identified by name followed
by its unique command keyword, (parameter abbreviation). The Status window provides a 'plain
English' response for visual interpretation as displayed on a standard computer terminal when the ST
command is issued.

The River Height Trend Parameter (RvHt)
The river height trend will normally be calculated over a 30 minute time interval with a threshold
equivalent to the resolution of the river height recording increment.
Definitions: River Height trend (RvHt) = sign and magnitude of the trend (feet) per time
interval (min), Trend value / Trend time ( -01.44/30 ). Trend Bias = sign of the
difference between two sequential events, rising or falling, + or -. Interval =
time interval over which the trend is calculated.
Rules: 1. The river height trend parameter, (RvHt), is calculated on request of a newly
formatted message or as the result of an alarm.
2. The river height at the time of a message request is that of the most recent
event within the river height record. The river height at the time interval
