SPECIAL PROPERTIES
about/measuring
read-only, yes-noIs this DS1921 currently measuring a temperature?
about/resolution
read-only, floating pointWhat is the resolution of the temperature measurments (in the current temperature scale).
about/samples
read-only, unsigned integerHow many total temperature measurements has this DS1921 performed?
about/temphigh
read-only, floating pointHighest temperature this DS1921 can measure (in the current temperature scale).
about/templow
read-only, floating pointLowest temperature this DS1921 can measure (in the current temperature scale).
about/version
read-only, asciiSpecific version of this DS1921.
clock/date
read-write, ascii26 character date representation of the internal time stored in this DS1921. Increments once per second while clock/running
Setting date to a null string will put the current system time.
Accepted date formats are:
Sat[urday] March 12 12:23:59 2001
Apr[il] 4 9:34:56 2002
3/23/04 23:34:57
current locale setting (your system's format)
clock/running
read-write, yes-noWhether the internal clock is running. This can be explicitly set, and is automatically started by setting clock/date or clock/udate or by starting a mission with mission/easystart or mission/frequency
The main reason to stop the clock is to conserve the internal battery. The clock cannot be stopped during a mission, and the clock is essential for a mission.
clock/udate
read-write, unsigned integerA numeric representation of clock/date
The number of seconds in UNIX time (since Jan 1, 1970).
histogram/counts.0 ... histogram/counts.62 histogram/counts.ALL
read-only, unsigned integerThe number of samples in the current mission whose temperature fell within the histogram/temperature to histogram/temperature+histogram/gap range.
histogram/elements
read-only, unsigned integerThe number of bins in the histogram. Always 63.
histogram/gap
read-only, floating pointThe size of the histogram bin. Depends on the Thermochron version ( about/version ) and is usually 4 times about/resolution
Given in the current temperatature scale.
histogram/temperature.0 ... histogram/temperature.62 histogram/temperature.ALL
read-only, floating pointLower limit of the temperature range for the corresponding histogram bin. In the current temperature scale.
log/date.0 ... log/date.2047 log/date.ALL
read-only, asciiDate that the corresponding log/temperature was taken, in ascii format. (See clock/date for more on the format). The number of valid entries is actually log/elements since the log may not be full.
mission/samples gives the total number of samples that have been taken but there is only room in the log for 2048 entries. Once the log is full, mission/rollover determines the Thermochron's behavior.
If mission/rollover is false(0), the log will hold the first 2048 samples and log/date.0 will always be the same as mission/date
If mission/rollover is true (1) then the log will hold the last 2048 samples and the entries will be shifted down with each new sample.
Note the OWFS code "untwists" the rollover behavior. The data will always be a linear array of earliest to latest.
ALL is the all data elements comma separated.
log/elements
read-only, unsigned integerNumber of valid entries in the log. OWFS offers the full 2048 values in the log memory, but not that many samples may yet have been taken. log/elements will range from 0 to 2048 and always be less than or equal to mission/samples
log/temperature.0 ... log/temperature.2047 log/temperature.ALL
read-write, floating pointThe temperature readings (in the current temperature scale) that correspond to the log/date sample. See log/date for details on the indexing scheme and rollover behavior.
log/udate.0 ... log/udate.2047 log/udate.ALL
read-write, unsigned integerA numeric representation of log/date
The number of seconds in UNIX time (since Jan 1, 1970).
memory
read-write, binaryUser available storage space. 512 bytes. Can also be accessed as 16 pages of 32 bytes with the pages/page.x properties.
overtemp/count.0 ... overtemp/count.11 overtemp/count.ALL
undertemp/count.0 ... undertemp/count.11 undertemp/count.ALL
read-only, unsigned integerNumber of sampling periods that the Thermochron stayed out of range durring a mission. Each sampling period is mission/frequency minutes long.
overtemp/end.0 ... overtemp/end.11 overtemp/end.ALL
undertemp/end.0 ... undertemp/end.11 undertemp/end.ALL
read-only, asciiEnd of time that the Thermochron went out of range during the current mission. See clock/date for format.
Each period can be up to 255 samples in length, and span the time overtemp/date to overtemp/end ( or undertemp/date to undertemp/end ).
overtemp/date.0 ... overtemp/date.11 overtemp/date.ALL
undertemp/date.0 ... undertemp/date.11 undertemp/date.ALL
read-only, asciiTime that the Thermochron went out of range during the current mission. See clock/date for format.
overtemp/elements
undertemp/elements
read-only, unsigned integerNumber of entries (0 to 12) in the overtemp or undertemp array.
overtemp/temperature
undertemp/temperature
read-write, floating pointTemperature limit to trigger alarm and error log. overtemp/temperature gives upper limit and undertemp/temperature gives lower limit.
In current temperature scale.
overtemp/udate.0 ... overtemp/udate.11 overtemp/udate.ALL
undertemp/udate.0 ... undertemp/udate.11 undertemp/udate.ALL
read-only, unsigned integerA numeric representation of overtemp/date or undertemp/date
The number of seconds in UNIX time (since Jan 1, 1970).
pages/page.0 ... pages/page.15 pages/page.ALL
read-write, binaryMemory is split into 16 pages of 32 bytes each. User available. The log memory, register banks and histogram data area are all separate from this memory area.
ALL is an aggregate of the pages. Each page is accessed sequentially.
temperature
read-only, floating pointLast temperature explicitly requested. Only available when the mission is not in progress. Value returned in in the current temperature scale.
STANDARD PROPERTIES
address
r_address
read-only, asciiThe entire 64-bit unique ID. Given as upper case hexadecimal digits (0-9A-F).
address starts with the family code
r address is the address in reverse order, which is often used in other applications and labeling.
crc8

id
r_id
read-only, asciiThe 48-bit middle portion of the unique ID number. Does not include the family code or CRC. Given as upper case hexadecimal digits (0-9A-F).

1-Wire
1-wire is a wiring protocol and series of devices designed and manufactured by Dallas Semiconductor, Inc. The bus is a low-power low-speed low-connector scheme where the data line can also provide power.Each device is uniquely and unalterably numbered during manufacture. There are a wide variety of devices, including memory, sensors (humidity, temperature, voltage, contact, current), switches, timers and data loggers. More complex devices (like thermocouple sensors) can be built with these basic devices. There are also 1-wire devices that have encryption included.
The 1-wire scheme uses a single bus master and multiple slaves on the same wire. The bus master initiates all communication. The slaves can be individually discovered and addressed using their unique ID.
Bus masters come in a variety of configurations including serial, parallel, i2c, network or USB adapters.
OWFS design
OWFS is a suite of programs that designed to make the 1-wire bus and its devices easily accessible. The underlying principle is to create a virtual filesystem, with the unique ID being the directory, and the individual properties of the device are represented as simple files that can be read and written.Details of the individual slave or master design are hidden behind a consistent interface. The goal is to provide an easy set of tools for a software designer to create monitoring or control applications. There are some performance enhancements in the implementation, including data caching, parallel access to bus masters, and aggregation of device communication. Still the fundemental goal has been ease of use, flexibility and correctness rather than speed.
DS1921 Thermochron
The DS1921 (3) is an iButton device with many intriguing functions. Essentially it monitors temperature, giving both a log of readings, and a histogram of temperature ranges. The specification is somewhat complex, but OWFS hides many of the implementation details.While on a mission the DS1921 (3) records temperature readings in a 2048-sample log and adds them to a 62-bin histogram.
ADDRESSING
All 1-wire devices are factory assigned a unique 64-bit address. This address is of the form:- Family Code
- 8 bits
- Address
- 48 bits
- CRC
- 8 bits
Addressing under OWFS is in hexadecimal, of form:
- 01.123456789ABC
where 01 is an example 8-bit family code, and 12345678ABC is an example 48 bit address.
The dot is optional, and the CRC code can included. If included, it must be correct.
