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/ttyS0
              Set serial port to use. Make sure you have permission to access this port. For  USB
              operation pass USB instead of /dev/ttySX

       -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 result. The DS18S20 takes about
              750mS to do the temperature conversion. 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 DigiTemp:

       %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 temperatures 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 .digitemprc 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%
