Note If an instrument or sensor optionally supports SDI-12, Modbus, or DNP3,
consider using these protocols before programming a custom protocol. These
higher-level protocols are standardized among many manufacturers and are easy
to use, relative to a custom protocol. SDI-12, Modbus, and DNP3 also support
addressing systems that allow multiplexing of several sensors on a single
communications port, which makes for more efficient use of resources.
