3. Setting the Rain Collector type
The rain collector type is stored in the SETUP_BITS EEPROM data byte.
To read what the current rain collector type is:
1. Use "EEBRD 2B 01" to read the current setup bits into the variable setup_bits.
2. Calculate:
rain_type = setup_bits & 0x30
3. rain_type will have one of the following values: 0x00 = 0.01 in, 0x10 = 0.2 mm, or 0x20
= 0.1 mm
To set a new rain collector type:
1. Use "
EEBRD 2B 01" to read the current setup bits into the variable setup_bits.
2. Mask the rain collector bits to zero with
setup_bits = setup_bits & 0xCF
3. Set rain_type to one of the rain collector values given above.
4. Calculate the new setup_bits = setup_bits | rain_type
5. Use "EEBWR 2B 01" to set the new rain collector type
6. Use "NEWSETUP" to have the Vantage use the new setting.
