  Chapter 12 Configuration and Test  25 
Protocol:  Communication protocol of the sensor (Binary, ASCII, NMEA, SDI-12, 
Modbus-RTU, Modbus-ASCII) 
default setting: UMB Binar 
Protocol timeout:  if the communication protocol is changed temporarily this is the 
interval in minutes after which it is switched back to the configured 
protocol  
(without function at present) 
12.2.5  Communication parameters 
 
Figure 11: Communication  Parameters 
 
Double directed:  on at full duplex, off at half duplex 
default: off 
Parity:  number of data bits, parity, number of stop bits  
default: 8N1 
MODBUS: Altitude:  altitude for MODBUS protocol  
default: 0m 
SDI-12: Unit:  Selection between metric or US units. 
default: metric 
NMEA: Device ID:  First two letters in the NMEA telegram 
The first two characters of the NMEA telegram identifier which 
determine the device type can be configured. If the second character 
is defined as „#0“ it is suppressed so that the ID consists of only one 
characters. 
default: WI 
NMEA: Control Pin:  The control line can be used either for controlling the heating or for 
controlling the NMEA output. 
default: heating  
NMEA: Automatic telegram transmission and format: 
Defines if and in which format an automatic NMEA output shall be 
carried out 
default: off 
NMEA: Response delay: 
Delay time of the NMEA response telegram in ms 
default: 0ms 
NMEA: Output rate:  Interval for automated NMEA output in ms  
default: 10000ms 
NMEA: Output scale:  Unit of the wind value in the NMEA telegraom (m/s, km/h, Meilen/h, 
knots) 
default: m/s 
NMEA: mode:  Selection standard or variant, denominates variants of implementation
