DIGITEMP(1)		    General Commands Manual		   DIGITEMP(1)

NAME
       digitemp	- program to read from 1-wire temperature sensors.

SYNOPSIS
       digitemp	[options]

DESCRIPTION
       DigiTemp	 uses  the Dallas 1-wire bus to	read temperatures from digital
       sensors attached	to a serial port adapter. It handles initializing  the
       bus,  searching	for  attached  devices,	reading	devices	and custom log
       strings.	 It  supports  the  following  temperature  devices:   DS1820,
       DS18S20,	DS18B20, DS1822

       It  also	 handles the DS2406 1-wire hub switches, and DS2422 and	DS2423
       counters.

       DigiTemp	uses either the	DS9097 passive serial  port  adapter,  or  the
       DS2480B	based  DS9097U	adapter. 1-wire	adapters from ibuttonlink.com,
       such as the Link45 are also supported.

OPTIONS
       At least	1 action must be given,	along with  some  optional  arguments.
       Actions are one (and only on) of	the -w -t -a -w	options

       -h, -? Show summary of options.

       -v     Show verbose output.

       -i     Initialize  .digitemprc  file,  search the bus for all supported
	      devices.

       -I     Initialize .digitemprc file, search the bus  for	all  supported
	      devices, store devices in	sorted serial #	order.

       -w     Walk the full device tree	and display the	serial number and type
	      of all devices detected on the bus.

       -s /dev/cuau0
	      Set  serial port to use. Make sure you have permission to	access
	      this port. For USB operation pass	USB instead of /dev/cuauX

       -l /var/log/temperature
	      Send output to logfile, the output format	is defined by  the  .B
	      -o command

       -c digitemp.conf
	      Set  digitemp  configuration file. The default is	.digitemprc in
	      the current directory.

       -r 1000
	      Read delay in ms.	This sets the amount of	time to	 wait  between
	      sending  the  temperature	conversion command and reading the re-
	      sult. The	DS18S20	takes about 750mS to do	the  temperature  con-
	      version. Default is 1000mS (1 sec).

       -t #   Read  sensor number #, the # depends on the order	of the sensors
	      in the .digitemprc file.

       -q     Quiet output, no copyright banner.

       -a     Read all sensors.

       -A     Treat DS2438 as A/D converter, output raw	voltages and currents.

       -d 5   Delay between samples (in	seconds).

       -n 50  Number of	times to repeat	the command.

       -O"counter format string"
	      See Counter Format below.

       -o [1..3] ["output format string"]
	      See Temperature Format below.

       -H"Humidity format string"
	      See Humidity Format below.

Temperature Format
       The temperature format can be either a numeric value, or	a string.  The
       numeric values select pre-configured output formats:

	   1 = One line	per sensor, time, C, F (default)
	   2 = One line	per sample, elapsed time, temperature in C
	   3 = Same as #2, except temperature is in F

       #2  and	#3 have	the data separated by tabs, suitable for import	into a
       spreadsheet or other graphing software.

       The format string uses strftime tokens plus 5  special  ones  for  Dig-
       iTemp:

       %s     for sensor #

       %C     for centigrade

       %F     for fahrenheit

       %R     to output	the hex	serial number

       %N     for seconds since	Epoch.

       The  case  of the token is important! The default format	string is: "%b
       %d %H:%M:%S Sensor %s C:	%.2C F:	%.2F" which gives you  an  output  of:
       May 24 21:25:43 Sensor 0	C: 23.66 F: 74.59

       The  DS2438  sensor  can	be used	for a variety of things. It includes a
       temperature sensor and A/D converter. DigiTemp defaults to using	it  as
       a  humidity  sensor.  The raw voltages and currents can be displayed by
       passing the -A argument

       When the	-o2 or -o3 log options are used	the attached DS2438's tempera-
       tures will be output without the	humidity.

Counter	Format String
       The counter format string is similar, adding these tokens:

       %n     is the counter #,	which depends on its position in the .digitem-
	      prc file

       %C     is the count in decimal.

Humidity Format	String
       The Humidity format string is the same as the temperature format	string
       with the	addition of this format	specifier:

       %h     is the humidity in 0-100%
