However, problems 2 and 3 still are not resolved. These can be resolved by using
the concurrent measurement command, C!. All measurements will be made at
about the same time and execution time will be about 95 seconds, well within the
5 minute scan rate requirement, as follows:

A new problem introduced by the C! command, however, is that it causes high
power usage by the CR3000. This application has a very tight power budget.
Since the C! command reissues a measurement request immediately after
receiving data, the sensors will be in a high power state continuously. To remedy
this problem, measurements need to be started with C! command, but stopped
short of receiving the next measurement command (hard-coded part of the C!
routine) after their data are polled. The SDI12Recorder() instruction C
command (not C!) provides this functionality as shown in CRBasic example
Using Alternate Concurrent Command (aC)
(p. 266).
A modification of this
program can also be used to allow near-simultaneous measurement of SDI-12
sensors without requesting additional measurements, such as may be needed in an
event-driven measurement.
Note When only one SDI-12 sensor is attached, that is, multiple sensor
measurements do not need to start concurrently, another reliable method
for making SDI-12 measurements without affecting the main scan is to use
the CRBasic SlowSequence instruction and the SDI-12 M! command.
The main scan will continue to run during the ttt time returned by the SDI-
