The SDI-12 Support Group is an association of companies that produce and use SDI-12 products with the purpose of reviewing requests to enhance, clarify, or modify the SDI-12 architecture and that votes on proposed changes to SDI-12.
SDI-12 was designed in 1988. Over 40 companies now produce and market SDI-12 products. Some make SDI-12 sensors, some make SDI-12 data recorders, others make both. Once SDI-12 was accepted as a robust and workable interface between sensors and recorders, the SDI-12 Support Group formed to support the standard. The mission of the SDI-12 Support Group is to maintain the backward compatibility of SDI-12, maintain the SDI-12 specification, contribute to the technical longevity of the SDI-12 architecture, and support and educate the environmental monitoring industry on the use of SDI-12.
The SDI-12 Support Group reviews proposed changes to the standard, holds a yearly meeting to discuss the status of SDI-12, publishes a newsletter and informs with this web-site.
Anyone with an interest in SDI-12 may join the SDI-12 Support Group. Membership dues of $US200 per year are applicable. Click here for a copy of the Membership Dues/Registration Form (PDF form).
The SDI-12 Support Group meetings take place annually every fall in
conjunction with the American Water Resources Association (AWRA)
conference. Last year (2007) the conference took place in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The time and location of the next meetings will be announced here when that information becomes available. All
are welcome to attend.
