NAME

th03 - A digital thermometer interface  

SYNOPSIS

th03 [options] serialdevice  

DESCRIPTION

th03 reads the temperature of the Picotech TH-03 thermometer as a commandline utility or as a daemon.  

OPTIONS

-a
Append output written to the output file. Requires -o to have any effect.
-c mask
Channel conversion mask where 1=chan1, 2=chan2, 4=chan3. Default is 0x07, meaning all channels are measured.
-d
Daemonize and run as a background process.
-g grp
Change the running process to run with effective group id grp
-h
Brief help message.
-i int
Sampling interval in seconds. Default is 10s and must be larger or equal 1.
-l
Also log temperature to syslog.
-o file
Write output to file.
-p n
Power off wait time while initializing, default is 5s.
-P n
Power on time time to stabelize power, default is 5s.
-r
Output raw numbers including references instead of temperature in Celcius.
-s n
Number of samples to take before quiting, default is 0, meaning infinite many.
-t
Put timestamp in output of every line in format %Y%m%d%H%M%S. See strftime(3) for format description.
-u usr
Change the running process to run with effective user id usr. This implicitly sets the group id, unless -g is used to override.

 

OUTPUT

The output generated by th03 are lines containing the temperature. The mask option -c can be used to control which channels are converted and shown. Each line has the format:
[YYYYMMDDHHMMSS] Ch1 Ch2 Ch3 [LoRef HiRef]
The references are only shown in raw format using option -r and the timestamp is controlled by option -t.
Output can be written to a file (-o option) or in append mode (o combined with -a option). Append mode will send all output to the file. Without append mode, the file if overwritten on each sample.
