Setting Fields
The parameter order is shown in the following table:
[R] = Parameter selection: This field consists of 16 bits 
defining the precipitation parameters included in the 
data messages. The bit value 0 disables and the bit 
value 1 enables the parameter.
Bits 1-8 determine the 
parameters included in the 
messages obtained with the 
following commands:
-ASCII: aR3 and ar3
-NMEA 0183: $--WIQ,XDR*hh
-SDI-12: aM3, aMC3, aC3, 
aCC3
-SDI-12 continuous: aR3 and 
ar3
1st bit (most left) Rc Rain amount
2nd bit Rd Rain duration
3rd bit Ri Rain intensity
4th bit Hc Hail amount
5th bit Hd Hail duration
6th bit Hi Hail intensity
7th bit Rp Rain peak
8th bit Hp Hail peak
& delimiter
Bits 9-16 determine the 
precipitation parameters 
included in the composite 
data messages obtained 
with the following 
commands:
-ASCII: aR0 and ar0
-NMEA 0183: aR0, ar0
-SDI-12: aM, aMC, aC, aCC
-SDI-12 continuous: aR and 
aRC
9th bit Rc Rain amount
10th bit Rd Rain duration
11th bit Ri Rain intensity
12th bit Hc Hail amount
13th bit Hd Hail duration
14th bit Hi Hail intensity
15th bit Rp Rain peak
16th bit (most right) Hp Hail peak
[I] = Update interval: 1 ... 3600 seconds. This interval is 
valid only if the [M] field is = T
[U] = Precipitation units:
M = metric (accumulated rainfall in mm, Rain 
duration in s, Rain intensity in mm/h)
I = imperial (the corresponding parameters in units 
in, s, in/h)
