Standard communication protocols for environmental sensors create new opportunities for increasingly  sophisticated sensor networks. One such protocol that is more and more commonly used is called SDI-12. SDI-12 allows many sensors to be connected to one port in series.

While this decreases the necessary investment in data loggers, the increased complexity of the network requires forethought in network design and increases the vulnerability of your network to data loss in the case of sensor malfunction. In this virtual seminar, new and prospective users of SDI-12 will learn:

• Considerations for designing an SDI-12 sensor network
• Practical set-up guidelines for sensor bus systems
• Tools and tips for maintaining and troubleshooting the SDI-12 sensor network
