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 not to include the SystemElevation used in the "Stage" parameter and the flow calculations. It is now simply the water level above the vertical beam, as intended. The change does not affect any other output formats (e.g., SDI-12) or internally recorded data.
Previous updates 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 the 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 the 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 is now based on the setting of Total Volume units
If you wish to take advantage of the new features in this version, follow the instructions below based on the firmware version currently in your system.
