2.9 Write Wake Interval and Write Inactivity Timer Commands
The Wake Interval and Inactivity Timer values control the H-424MS's power save operation. These
values can be written by the SDI-12 host with the following commands. Note only the settings of the
H-424MS which is jumpered for “Master” operation can be accessed.
These commands allows the user to write (change) the timer values. The new value is stored in non-
volatile EEPROM within the H-424MS. Once the new timer value is written to the EEPROM, a
copy is sent to the sensor data buffer for verification. This data can be viewed by using a subsequent
"D" command. To observe the timer settings any other time, use the "Read Wake Interval" or “Read
Inactivity Timer” commands.
