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 tem-
     perature 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 essential 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, mis-
     sion/rollover determines the Thermochron's behavior.

     If mission/rollover is false(0), the log will hold the first  2048  samples
     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 sam-
     ples and the entries will be shifted down with each new sample.

     Note the OWFS code "untwists" the rollover behavior. The data  will  always
     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/el-
     ements will range from 0 to 2048 and always be less than or equal	to  mis-
     sion/samples

   log/temperature.0 ... log/temperature.2047 log/temperature.ALL
     read-write, floating point
     The temperature readings (in the current temperature scale) that correspond
     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 mis-
     sion. 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 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.

   DS1921 Thermochron
     The  DS1921 (3) is an iButton device with many intriguing functions. Essen-
     tially it monitors temperature, giving both a log of readings, and  a  his-
     togram  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 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.
