Met-Tilt Service |
This service can be configured to send one or more initialization and repeat strings on a regular basis to obtain measurements from external sensors. These sensors include those used to collect meteorological and/or deformation data by measuring the tilt of the sensor itself. The output from the sensor(s) is then placed in all Trimble T00 or DAT files that are being logged in the receiver, and also sent out any ports that are configured for streaming GPS measurements as RT17 data.
IMPORTANT: If Met-Tilt sensor data will be placed in logged data files, you must finish configuring the Met-Tilt commands before starting the logging session. The NetRS will only include Met-Tilt data in files that are started after the sensor commands have been configured.
To configure the receiver to work with external sensors, specify the command that is to be sent and then select the interval at which the command is to be sent. Select Once to send the command once at the start of every data logging session, otherwise select the repeating interval at which the command is sent. If multiple commands are specified at the same interval, a delay of 10 seconds is added to each subsequent command to avoid possible problems when sensors are connected in a serial manner.
If a carriage return or newline character is required in the command, use \r to specify carriage return, and \n to specify a newline.
A typical met sensor command, for example, might be:
*0100P9
To add a newline character to this command, specify the following:
*0100P9\n
