SPECIAL	PROPERTIES
   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
       selected	from the invoking command line.	See owfs(1) or owhttpd(1)  for
       choices.	Default	is Celsius.  Conversion	takes ~20 msec.

   latesttemp
       read-only, floating point
       Latest  measured	 temperature.  Reading	this node will never trigger a
       temperature conversion. Intended	for use	in conjunction with  /simulta-
       neous/temperature.

   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.

   vis
       read-only, floating point
       Current sensor reading, as a voltage difference.	Value is in volts.
       Actual current depends on Rsens resistor	(see datasheet).
       The formula for current is I = vis / Rsens
       with units in Amps and Ohms.
       Current measurement will	be temporarily enabled (see Ienable )  if  not
       currently enabled (pun intended)	for this reading.

CONFIGURATION PROPERTIES
   CA
       read-write, yes-no
       Current	Accumulator  Configuration  flag  bit.	If "on"	(1) current is
       stored in page 7	bytes 4-7. If "off" (0)	that page can be used for gen-
       eral storage. See the datasheet for more	information.

   EE
       read-write, yes-no
       Current Accumulator Shadow flag bit. If "on"  (1)  current  reading  is
       stored  to  EEPROM. If "off" (0)	that data will be lost when chip loses
       power. See the datasheet	for more information

   IAD
       read-write, yes-no
       Current A/D Control flag	bit. If	"on" (1) current measured at 36.41 Hz.
       If "off"	(0) current measurements won't be made.	See the	datasheet  for
       more information.

DATE 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)

   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.

   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 setting either will change the other.

HUMIDITY PROPERTIES
   HIH4000/humidity
       read-only, floating point
       Relative	humidity, as percent (1-100 scale).
       This  value is for a design based on Honeywell's	HIH-4000 humidity sen-
       sor.

   HIH5030/humidity
       read-only, floating point
       Relative	humidity, as percent (1-100 scale).
       This value is for a design based	on Honeywell's HIH-5030/5031  humidity
       sensor.

   HTM1735/humidity
       read-only, floating point
       Relative	humidity, as percent (1-100 scale).
       This value is for a design based	on Humirel's HTM-1735 humidity sensor.

   DATANAB/humidity
       read-only, floating point
       Based  on  DataNAB's humidity sensor. It	uses a HIH-4000	sensor and the
       current sensning	rather than voltage readings from the DS2438. Calibra-
       tion values are stored on chip, and a check field  is  stored  in  chip
       memory.

   DATANAB/reset
       write-only, yes-no
       Used  to	 read  calibration  values and set the chip to current reading
       more. Should be automatically called when a  humidity  reading  is  re-
       quested.

   humidity
       read-only, floating point
       Relative	humidity, as percent (1-100 scale).
       The  DS2438 actually does not read humidity, but	a widely available and
       publicised circuit based	on the chip, does. This	design is for the com-
       mon Honeywell HIH-3610 humidity chip. The  mostly  compatible  HIH-4000
       chip  uses  different  temperature compensation,	so is better read from
       the HIH4000/humidity value. See the datasheets for details.
       If the chip is instead a	DATANAB	 design,  the  DATANAB/humidity	 value
       will be automatically used.

BAROMETER PROPERTIES
   B1-R1-A/pressure
       read-only, floating point
       Pressure	 reading,  as  milli-bars,  or	other  unit  depending on set-
       tings/units/pressure_scale.
       This value is for the B1-R1-A barometer from Hobby-Boards, and  assumes
       the standard calibration.

   B1-R1-A/gain
       read/write, floating point
       Calibration  of	pressure gain, as signed number, expressed as the same
       units as	B1-R1-A/pressure per volt.
       This value will be multiplied with the  measured	 voltage  to  get  the
       B1-R1-A/pressure	 reading. It may have to be fine tuned for calibration
       purposes, although with the standard sensor,  it	 will  often  be  good
       enough to keep it as is.

   B1-R1-A/offset
       read/write, floating point
       Calibration  of	pressure  offset,  as  signed  number,	same  units as
       B1-R1-A/pressure.
       This value will be added	to the B1-R1-A/pressure	reading.  The  default
       value is	904.7 millibars, which may be altered to to compensate for el-
       evation.

SOLAR SENSOR PROPERTIES
   S3-R1-A/current
       read-only, floating point
       Photo-diode current, in micro-amperes.
       This value is for the S3-R1-A solar radiation sensor from Hobby-Boards.
       Due  to	noise and offsets, this	value may read as a negative number in
       low light conditions.  The offset register can be  modified  to	reduce
       the offset as much as possible.

   S3-R1-A/illumination
       read-only, floating point
       Illumination, in	lux. Always a positive number.
       This   value   is  the  lux  reading  from  the	solar  sensor,	taking
       S3-R1-A/gain into consideration.

   S3-R1-A/gain
       read/write, floating point
       Calibration of photo-diode gain expressed  as  lux  per	micro-amperes.
       The default value is for	the SFH203P photo-diode	from Osram, used bare.
       A  different  gain  may be used for instance to compensate for an inte-
       grathing, white sphere placed over the diode.
       This value is for the S3-R1-A solar radiation sensor from Hobby-Boards,
       using the SFH203P photo-diode from Osram.

MULTISENSOR PROPERTIES
   MultiSensor/type
       read-only, ascii
       For iButtonLink's MultiSensor line of 1-wire devices, give the specific
       configuration based on a	data byte set in memory. (Byte 0 of  page  3).
       This can	help interpretation of the sensor values, distinguishing, cur-
       rent from water from light.

   offset
       read-write, integer
       Correction  for current readings. A value between -256 and 255. See the
       datasheet for details. Should be	set to the negative  of	 a  true  zero
       current reading.

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
       applications and	labeling.

   crc8
       read-only, ascii
       The 8-bit error correction portion. Uses	cyclic redundancy check.  Com-
       puted  from the preceding 56 bits of the	unique ID number. Given	as up-
       per 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 applica-
       tions and labeling.

   locator
   r_locator
       read-only, ascii
       Uses an extension of the	1-wire design from  iButtonLink	 company  that
       associated  1-wire  physical  connections with a	unique 1-wire code. If
       the connection is behind	a Link Locator the locator will	show a	unique
       8-byte number (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.

       None.

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.

   DS2438
       The DS2438 (3) is a more	complete form of the DS2436 battery chip. Cur-
       rent  sensing  is  available,  but not implemented. The major advantage
       compared	to the DS2436 is that two voltages can be read,	 allowing  one
       to  correct  circuit measurements for supply voltage and	temperature. A
       better comparison is the	DS276x family of chips.

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.
