DESCRIPTION
The interface_conf utility is used to specify whether a South Coast Science sensor interface is present on the host system and, if so, which type it is. A distinction is made between the sensor interface (which controls power and access to all sensors) and the gas interface, which controls access to electrochemical and VOC A4 sensors.
Sensor interface types are:
- DFE - the digital front-end board for Praxis/Urban
- OPCubeT1 - the man processor board for Praxis/Cube
- PZHBtN - the header breakout board for Praxis/Handheld
Gas interface types are:
- AFE - Alphasense analogue front-end board
- ISI - South Coast Science integrated single interface
If an AFE is selected, the use of the analogue-digital converter for the Pt1000 temperature sensor should be specified.
Permitted combinations:
| Code | Sensor interface | Gas interface | Pt1000 ADC |
|---|---|---|---|
| DFE | DFE | AFE | - |
| DFE/0x68 | DFE | AFE | 0x68 |
| DFE/0x69 | DFE | AFE | 0x69 |
| DFE/ISI | DFE | ISI | - |
| OPCubeT1 | OPCube | ISI | - |
| PZHBt0 | PZHB | ISI | - |
| PZHBt1 | PZHB | ISI | - |
| PZHBt2 | PZHB | ISI | - |
| PZHBt3 | PZHB | ISI | - |
The scs_dev sampler processes must be restarted for changes to take effect.
