End I/O Modules
The function “Reset Module bus” causes the system to issue a reset command to all I/O
modules on the bus. This will cause the system to detect any new module on the bus that
wasn’t automatically detected when it was attached. It should only be used when you suspect
the system has not detected all the I/O modules it should, and should only be used when
recording is off, as it will cause any I/O measurements scheduled or in progress during the reset,
to fail. If you have questions about whether you should invoke this function, please contact
Sutron Customer Service.
Diagnostics/SDI Tools
This menu provides tools useful in operating and maintaining SDI-12 devices. SDI-12 is an
industry standard protocol for serial smart sensors. The tools menu provides functions to find
devices that have been connected to the SDI-12 bus and communicate with them.
The SDI tools menu appears as follows:
SDI Tools
Find SDI devices
Show found (0) SDI
Send SDI-12 command
End SDI Tools
Each function is discussed below:
Find SDI devices
This function causes the 8310 to issue the SDI-12 identify (I) command to all valid SDI-12
addresses. The search proceeds in the following order: 0…9, A…Z, a…z, /"#$%&'()+,-./{|}~. The
display shows each address being tested.
The search can be interrupted by pressing CANCEL.
The number of devices found is displayed during the search.
Show found (n) SDI
This function lists the identification string for any SDI-12 device found. The identification string
usually contains information about the manufacturer, model and version of the product.
