6. Send the Start Verification command followed by the Get Data command (see
Section 8.1.4, Cyclic Redundancy Check).
7. Use the Get Unit command to ensure the units are what you want (see Section
8.1.5, Get Units).
8. Use the Get Water Condition command to ensure that the water condition fit
the body of water you are monitoring (see Section 8.1.6, Get Water
Conditions).
9. Use the Get Power Operation Mode to ensure that the power mode is what you
want (see Section 8.1.7, Get Power Operation Mode).

8.1.1 Start Measurement Command
The 25616, Adjustment/Display Module, or the terminal emulator in
LoggerNet or PC400 can be used to enter this command. The Start
Measurement command is also used in CRBasic or Edlog
programming. Refer to the Edlog help for the appropriate command
code entry.
The aM! command requests measurement values from the sensor. This command is
always followed by the aD0! (Send Data) command (see Table 8-1). As a response
of the Send Data command, the following information will be returned.
• Stage—the water level as measured in metres or feet. This measurement is
calculated using the Water Stage Setting and the Units setting.
• Distance—the distance between the sensor and water surface. This value will
be reported in either metres or feet, depending on the Units setting.
• Diagnostic Values—an error code. For example, Code 0 = OK, Code 13 =
error E013 (see Section 8.2, Diagnostics and Repair).
