*** .RDT. Special Update.... Kenmore Square, Boston...atmospheric test site discovered Well, after calling 617/536-1180 (discovered by Mudge), I have figured out what the hell this thing is, as well as the commands you can use to run it. Basically, it an atmospheric pollutant-monitoring device..and I am 99% sure it is operated out of the trailer-like building in Kenmore Sq. Basically, this system is hooked up to a variety of monitoring devices, which measure the concentration (in parts per million...PPM) of various pollutants. Current temperature is also recorded (In Kelvin, no less!) The computer takes a measurement EVERY MINUTE...and by using different commands, you can even go back in to stored records of measurements (as far back as 5 days ago)...tests are made EVERY MINUTE of every day..whew! Commands consist of single letters (case sensitive!) and numbers. Commands function as hotkeys, and echoed as they are typed, and illegal commands are echoed as well with an accompanying question mark. In this file I provide some captures of data when I played with the system, AND a COMMAND SUMMARY to top things off. I wonder if this is a proprietary system, or if there are others like it out there..anyway, if anyone finds another, PLEASE let me know! Here's an example of what you can do...when you first call the system (8N1), it *immediately* responds to you by printing out the last minute's recorded data: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- RINGING CONNECT 1200/NONE 17:10:00 0018 01 KENMORE SQ 01/18/92 ================================================= CHAN NO NO2 NOX TEMP CO SO2 UNITS PPM PPM PPM DEG K PPM PPM ================================================= 17:00 0.044 0.029 0.073 269 1.2 0.013 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- I typed nothing in...as soon as connection was made, the system spits out the time of the last measurement, and the readings in PPM...the pollutants measured are common NO, NO2 (nitrogen dioxide, NOT nitrous oxide...heh), NOX (meaning all NO groups combined, like NO, NO2, NO3, etc.), the temperature in degrees Kelvin, CO (carbon monoxide) and SO2 (nasty sulfur pollutant...makes acid rain in the clouds).
