Chapter 3. Performing Advanced
Functions
With the appropriate knowledge you can configure the addSDI
devices in the field by using a hyperterminal window. To configure
the RTU you need a special serial adapter cable (item 200.720.540;
not included with the RTU; available from your Adcon distributor).
CAUTION
Do not try to configure your addSDI devices if you are
not well familiar with the SDI-12 commands and bus architecture
—the unit may not communicate properly with the SDI-12 sensors
and/or with the remote measuring station or function with the
addVANTAGE software.
WARNING
Tampering with parameters for the addSDI devices
may void your warranty or damage the device. In general, the
commands described in this chapter are intended for technical
support staff and users with a great deal of experience in handling
advanced hard- and software.
In the system architecture, the base station and RTU are both con-
sidered to be nodes. The base station is called the master node, or
master , while the RTU is called the slave node, or slave .
