Telemetry and SDI-12 Diagnostics
Monitoring operation of the communications modules and SDI-12 bus is possible from the iLink software. The
Architecture allow for remote monitoring, monitoring over open channels (Radio) even monitoring of the operation of
the channel being used. The information obtained is time stamped real time log with three levels (information,
