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  se-
     lected  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 temper-
     ature conversion. Intended for use in conjunction	with  /simultaneous/tem-
     perature.

   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 cur-
     rently 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 general stor-
     age. 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  set-
     ting 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 sensor.

   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 sen-
     sor.

   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 cur-
     rent sensning rather than voltage readings  from  the  DS2438.  Calibration
     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 requested.

   humidity
     read-only, floating point
     Relative humidity, as percent (1-100 scale).
     The DS2438 actually does not read humidity, but a widely available and pub-
     licised circuit based on the chip, does. This design is for the common Hon-
     eywell HIH-3610 humidity chip. The mostly	compatible  HIH-4000  chip  uses
     different	temperature compensation, so is better read from the HIH4000/hu-
     midity 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 pur-
     poses,  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 elevation.

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 dif-
     ferent  gain  may	be  used for instance to compensate for an integrathing,
     white sphere placed over the diode.
     This value is for the S3-R1-A solar radiation sensor from Hobby-Boards, us-
     ing 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, current 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 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.

   DS2438
     The  DS2438 (3) is a more complete form of the DS2436 battery chip. Current
     sensing is available, but not implemented. The major advantage compared  to
     the  DS2436  is that two voltages can be read, allowing one to correct cir-
     cuit 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 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.
