SPECIAL	PROPERTIES
   about/measuring
       read-only, yes-no
       Is this DS1921 currently	measuring a temperature?

   about/resolution
       read-only, floating point
       What is the resolution of the temperature measurments (in  the  current
       temperature scale).

   about/samples
       read-only, unsigned integer
       How many	total temperature measurements has this	DS1921 performed?

   about/temphigh
       read-only, floating point
       Highest temperature this	DS1921 can measure (in the current temperature
       scale).

   about/templow
       read-only, floating point
       Lowest  temperature this	DS1921 can measure (in the current temperature
       scale).

   about/version
       read-only, ascii
       Specific	version	of this	DS1921.

   clock/date
       read-write, ascii
       26 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-no
       Whether	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	essen-
       tial for	a mission.

   clock/udate
       read-write, unsigned integer
       A 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 integer
       The  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 integer
       The number of bins in the histogram. Always 63.

   histogram/gap
       read-only, floating point
       The 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/tempera-
       ture.ALL
       read-only, floating point
       Lower 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, ascii
       Date 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  sam-
       ples 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  al-
       ways be a linear	array of earliest to latest.

       ALL is the all data elements comma separated.

   log/elements
       read-only, unsigned integer
       Number  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 point
       The temperature readings	(in the	current	temperature scale) that	corre-
       spond  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 integer
       A numeric representation	of log/date
       The number of seconds in	UNIX time (since Jan 1,	1970).

   memory
       read-write, binary
       User 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 integer
       Number  of  sampling  periods  that the Thermochron stayed out of range
       during 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, ascii
       End  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, ascii
       Time that the Thermochron went out of range during the current mission.
       See clock/date for format.

   overtemp/elements
   undertemp/elements
       read-only, unsigned integer
       Number of entries (0 to 12) in the overtemp or undertemp	array.

   overtemp/temperature
   undertemp/temperature
       read-write, floating point
       Temperature 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 integer
       A 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, binary
       Memory 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 point
       Last temperature	explicitly requested. Only available when the  mission
       is not in progress. Value returned in in	the current temperature	scale.

DESCRIPTION
   1-Wire
       1-wire is a wiring protocol and series of devices designed and manufac-
       tured  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 (humid-
       ity, 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 en-
       cryption	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,  par-
       allel, 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 in-
       dividual	 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 com-
       munication. Still the fundamental goal has been ease of use,  flexibil-
       ity and correctness rather than speed.

   DS1921 Thermochron
       The DS1921 (3) is an iButton device with	many intriguing	functions. Es-
       sentially 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.
