Generic Sensor Interfaces<br />

In addition to the sensors with default settings, the <strong>MAWS</strong> Lizard<br />

software has options <strong>for</strong> configuring generic voltage, PT100, counter,<br />

frequency, mA <strong>and</strong> potentiometric inputs as well as numeric string<br />

received via serial interface(s).<br />

Each sensor can have user specified validation <strong>and</strong> conversion/<br />

linearization parameters (up to the 3rd degree factor). This feature<br />

enables the interfacing <strong>and</strong> conditioning of customer’s own sensors.<br />

Generic Sensor Interface Setup Template<br />

In the generic numeric receiver, the user can define receiving<br />

parameters <strong>for</strong> a data string via serial port(s). In addition, the SDI-12<br />

interface can be used <strong>for</strong> interfacing sensors supporting this st<strong>and</strong>ard<br />

protocol, which is frequently used especially with hydrological<br />

sensors.<br />
