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 />
