SDI-12 Command and Response Protocol 3-13

3.13 Extended Read LCD_Digits and Write LCD_Digits
The LCD display can display the Stage in one of two formats: ±199.99 or ±19999. This
command is used to change the format. The default 2-digit format (±199.99) is used when
displaying the shaft position in units of feet or inches. The 0-digit format (±19999) format is
useful for display in millimeters (0 thru 19.999 meters).

Once a new value is written, a copy is sent to the sensor data buffer for verification. This data
can be viewed by using a subsequent "D" command. To read or verify the value any other time,
use the "XRLCD" command.
