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.
