Configure the SDI-12 device
A sensor such as a sonde can connect to the optional SDI-12 interface. The controller can get up to
nine measurements from one SDI-12 sensor. The sensor data can then be used as a trigger in
setpoint sampling applications. Configure the parameter type and unit, and set how often the
SDI-12 device is scanned for new measurement data.
