Argonaut-SL/SW/XR Firmware - V 12.2
Recent update corrects Modbus Output "Level" Parameter: The Modbus output of the "Level"parameter in Register 30051 & 30052 was corrected to not include the SystemElevation used in the "Stage" parameter and the flow calculations. It is now simply the water level above thevertical beam as intended. The changedoes not affect any other output formats (i.e. SDI-12) or internally recorded data.
Previous udpates include:
- Adds two new Channel Types (Culvert and Equation)
- Improved Total Volume calculations; allows accumulating volume even when collection is temporarily interrupted
- Option added to disable Total Volume Reset on the Flow Display
- Adds SDI-12 Auto Sampling, which allows instrument to continue data collection even when no data logger command is received
- Improved low-battery recovery; allows automatic data collection restart if a low-voltage battery recovers (e.g., when battery recharges itself via a solar panel)
- Adds an alternate method of interrupting data collection via a modem using plus (+) or equals (=) characters
- Scaling of analog output signals now based on setting of Total Volume units
