SPECIAL PROPERTIES
   date
     read-write, ascii
     26 character date representation of the counter value. Increments once  per
     second.
     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)

   current
     read-only, integer
     Current reading. Actual current depends on Rsens resistor (see datasheet).
     The formula for current is I = current /(4096*Rsens)
     with units in Amps and Ohms.
     Current  measurement will be temporarily enabled (see Ienable ) if not cur-
     rently enabled (pun intended) for this reading.

   disconnect/date
     read-write, ascii
     26 character date representation of the disconnect/udate value.  Time  when
     the  battery  pack waws removed from the charger. Format is the same as the
     date property.

   disconnect/udate
     read-write, unsigned integer
     Representation of disconnect/date as a number. See udate for details.

   endcharge/date
     read-write, ascii
     26 character date representation of the endcharge/udate  value.  Format  is
     the same as the date property.

   endcharge/udate
     read-write, unsigned integer
     Representation of endcharge/date as a number. See udate for details.

   Ienable
     read-write, unsigned integer
     Status  of  current  monitoring. When enabled, current sensing is performed
     36.41 times/second. Values of Ienable are:

     0	    no current conversion

     1	    current conversion enabled

     2	    current conversion and accumulation

     3	    current conversion and accumulation with EEPROM backup

   pages/page.0 ... pages/page.7 pages/page.ALL
     read-write, binary
     Memory is split into 8 pages of 8 bytes each. Only the pages 3-7 are really
     available, and some of that appears to be reserved. See the  datasheet  for
     details.
     ALL is an aggregate of the pages. Each page is accessed sequentially.

   temperature
     read-only, floating point
     Temperature  read	by the chip at high resolution (~13 bits). Units are se-
     lected from the invoking  command	line.  See  owfs(1)  or  owhttpd(1)  for
     choices. Default is Celsius.  Conversion takes ~20 msec.

   udate
     read-write, unsigned integer
     Time represented as a number.  udate increments once per second.
     Usually set to unix time standard: number of seconds since Jan 1, 1970. The
     date  field  will be the unix representation (ascii text) of udate and set-
     ting either will change the other.

   VAD VDD
     read-only, floating point
     Voltage read (~10 bits) at the one of the chip's two supply voltages. Range
     VDD= 2.4V to 10V, VAD=1.5 to 10V.

STANDARD PROPERTIES
   address
   r_address
     read-only, ascii
     The 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 ap-
     plications and labeling.

   crc8
     read-only, ascii
     The  8-bit error correction portion. Uses cyclic redundancy check. Computed
     from the preceding 56 bits of the unique ID number.  Given  as  upper  case
     hexadecimal digits (0-9A-F).

   family
     read-only, ascii
     The  8-bit  family code. Unique to each type of device. Given as upper case
     hexadecimal digits (0-9A-F).

   id
   r_id
     read-only, ascii
     The 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).
     r	id is the id in reverse order, which is often used in other applications
     and labeling.

   locator
   r_locator
     read-only, ascii
     Uses an extension of the 1-wire design from iButtonLink company that  asso-
     ciated  1-wire  physical connections with a unique 1-wire code. If the con-
     nection is behind a Link Locator the locator will show a unique 8-byte num-
     ber (16 character hexadecimal) starting with family code FE.
     If no Link Locator is between the device and the master, the locator  field
     will be all FF.
     r locator is the locator in reverse order.

   present (DEPRECATED)
     read-only, yes-no
     Is the device currently present on the 1-wire bus?

   type
     read-only, ascii
     Part  name  assigned  by  Dallas  Semi.  E.g.  DS2401 Alternative packaging
     (iButton vs chip) will not be distiguished.

ALARMS
     None.

DESCRIPTION
   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-connec-
     tor 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, temper-
     ature, 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 indi-
     vidually 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  con-
     sistent  interface. The goal is to provide an easy set of tools for a soft-
     ware 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  fundamental goal has been ease of use, flexibility and correct-
     ness rather than speed.

   DS2437
     The DS2437 (3) is an obsolete version of the DS2438 (3) battery chip.  Cur-
     rent  sensing  is	available, but not implemented. The major advantage com-
     pared to the DS2436 is that two voltages can be read,  allowing  correcting
     circuit  nmeasurements to supply voltage and temperature. A better compari-
     son is the DS276x family of chips.

ADDRESSING
     All 1-wire devices are factory assigned a unique 64-bit address.  This  ad-
     dress 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.
