2.17 Extended “Set Daily Reset Time” Command

The H-340SDI automatically resets the daily accumulations a certain time each day. For example,

one day may be calculated from 6:00 AM of one day to 6:00 AM of the next day. This command

sets the time of day at which the reset is scheduled.

2.18 Extended “XTEST” Command

To activate the test mode, first send the command “aXTEST!”, then enter the verifier’s MONITOR

mode. Whenever a bucket tip occurs, the H-340 now transmits the time between bucket tips and the

adjusted rainfall for the bucket tip. This test mode may be used to help troubleshoot the installation

by providing a continuous readout of bucket tip timing and rainfall. The test mode is exited by
