Shared Runtime Data Type Reference

Use this page to look up the common data type (DTY) values used when values are reported to Emiko.

Use DTY values with data-type parameters such as VRDATATYPE#, OTDATATYPE#, and supported single-value DEVDATATYPE# setup.
Some parameters support only a smaller subset of these values. Always follow the supported values shown on the parameter page for the specific setup.
DataGuard selectors are setup values, not emitted DTY values.
8000..8999 values are package selectors. 9000..9999 values are calculation or manipulation selectors where the parameter supports them.

`1119`	Wind direction spread, 10-minute (`DD_SPREAD_10MIN`)	deg
`1120`	Wind direction, 2-minute circular mean (`DD_2MIN`)	deg

Wind direction state/QC codes

DD_STATE_QC is emitted as DTY 1117. The reported value is additive, so one value can contain more than one state or quality marker.

Code value	Meaning	Use
`0`	No state/QC flag	The wind direction value has no reported state or quality flag.
`1`	Variable direction state	Used when the calculated wind direction spread is high enough to mark the direction as variable.
`2`	Insufficient data / low coverage state	Used while there is not enough sample coverage for the selected 2-minute or 10-minute wind direction value.
`4`	Configuration or setup error state	Used when the selected wind direction setup cannot produce the requested calculated value.
`256`	Analog input below expected range	The analog input value is below the expected electrical range for the selected transmitter type.
`512`	Analog input above expected range	The analog input value is above the expected electrical range for the selected transmitter type.
`1024`	Low coverage marker	Added together with the insufficient-data state.
`2048`	Variable direction marker	Added together with the variable-direction state.
`4096`	Too many wind direction history channels configured	Added when more history-based wind direction channels are configured than the controller can track at the same time.
`8192`	Configuration error marker	Added when the analog wind direction channel or transmitter type is not valid for this calculation.

Example: 1026 means 1024 + 2, so the value is a low-coverage state before enough samples are available for the selected wind direction calculation.

DataGuard Package Selectors

Package selectors are used only where the specific parameter supports them. A package selector is a setup value that sends one predefined set of child DTY values. The selector itself is not sent as the measurement DTY.

Selector	Package	Child values sent
`8000`	Thies Hydro Termo Baro package	Temperature as `DTY 1101`, pressure as `DTY 1102`, and humidity as `DTY 1103`.
`8001`	EM voltage package	Voltage values as `DTY 1301`.
`8003`	Counter and timer package	Pulse counter as `DTY 1004` and operating hours as `DTY 1001`.

DataGuard Calculation Selectors

Calculation selectors are used only where the specific parameter supports them. A calculation selector is a setup value that sends calculated or manipulated child DTY values. The selector itself is not sent as the measurement DTY.

Selector	Calculation selector	Child values sent
`9000`	Analog wind direction state/QC	State and quality code as `DTY 1117`.
`9001`	Analog wind direction 10-minute mean	After coverage, 10-minute circular mean as `DTY 1118`; before coverage, state/QC as `DTY 1117`.
`9002`	Analog wind direction 10-minute spread	After coverage, 10-minute spread as `DTY 1119`; before coverage, state/QC as `DTY 1117`.
`9003`	Reserved	Reserved for future use and not accepted for analog wind direction setup.
`9004`	Analog wind direction 10-minute package	Before 2-minute coverage, state/QC as `DTY 1117`. After 2-minute coverage, `DTY 1120`, `DTY 1121`, and `DTY 1117`. After 10-minute coverage, `DTY 1118`, `DTY 1119`, and `DTY 1117`.
`9005`	Analog wind direction 2-minute mean	After coverage, 2-minute circular mean as `DTY 1120`; before coverage, state/QC as `DTY 1117`.
`9006`	Analog wind direction 2-minute package	After coverage, `DTY 1120`, `DTY 1121`, and `DTY 1117`; before coverage, state/QC as `DTY 1117`.
