AVW200-series 2-Channel Vibrating Wire Spectrum Analyzer Modules detected. Therefore, the result variable for the first instruction would be zero (indicating successful communication) and the result variable for the second instruction would increment (indicating a failed communication). In the pipeline mode this situation does not exist, so the result code variables can be the same for multiple AVW200( ) instructions on a given communication port. NOTES (1) When running in the sequential mode, programs that contain multiple AVW200 instructions using the same COM port should have different "Result" variables for each AVW200 instruction (e.g. "Result1" and "Result2") in order to detect and isolate any communications errors for a given AVW200. (2) If the AVW200( ) instruction is in a slowsequence, the mode of operation is always forced to sequential mode. Read more! Example programs of the sequential mode are provided in Section 7.4. 6.2 SDI-12 Measurements For our CR5000, CR10X, and CR23X dataloggers, an SDI-12 instruction must be used to trigger and retrieve measurements from the AVW200. Our CRBasic dataloggers (e.g., CR5000, CR1000, CR3000) use the SDI12Recorder instruction, and Edlog dataloggers (i.e., CR10X, CR23X) use Instruction 105. The SDI12Recorder instruction should only be run in the sequential mode. When using SDI-12, multiplexers must be controlled by the datalogger. Appendix G, CR10X Programming Example, describes Instruction 105 and provides a CR10X program example. 6.2.1 SDI12 Recorder() Instruction The values returned from the SDI12Recorder( ) instruction are different depending on the SDI12 measurement command issued. The SDI12Recorder instruction sends the command specified by the SDI12Command parameter as (address)SDI12Command!. The AVW200 always returns six values. Sytnax SDI12Recorder ( Dest, SDIPort, SDIAddress, "SDICommand", Multiplier, Offset ) The SDI12Recorder instruction has the following parameters: Dest The Dest parameter is a variable in which to store the results of the measurement. Dest must have enough elements to store all the data that is returned by the SDI-12 sensor or a 'variable out of range' error will result during the execution of the instruction. 42

SDI-12 Measurements
For our CR5000, CR10X, and CR23X dataloggers, an SDI-12 instruction must
be used to trigger and retrieve measurements from the AVW200.
Our CRBasic
dataloggers (e.g., CR5000, CR1000, CR3000) use the SDI12Recorder
instruction, and Edlog dataloggers (i.e., CR10X, CR23X) use Instruction 105.
The SDI12Recorder instruction should only be run in the sequential mode.
When using SDI-12, multiplexers must be controlled by the datalogger.
Appendix G,
CR10X Programming Example
, describes Instruction 105 and
provides a CR10X program example.
6.2.1 SDI12 Recorder() Instruction
The values returned from the SDI12Recorder( ) instruction are different
depending on the SDI12 measurement command issued. The SDI12Recorder
instruction sends the command specified by the SDI12Command parameter as
(address)SDI12Command!.
The AVW200 always returns six values.
Sytnax
SDI12Recorder ( Dest, SDIPort, SDIAddress, "SDICommand", Multiplier,
Offset )
The SDI12Recorder instruction has the following parameters:
Dest
The Dest parameter is a variable in which to store the results
of the measurement. Dest must have enough elements to
store all the data that is returned by the SDI-12 sensor or a
'variable out of range' error will result during the execution
of the instruction.
