Need help with code for reading sensor using a formula

Using Arduino Sensors
1

I made a post about this project but did not get any specific help on this part of my question.
How do I format this formula in IDE to get the correct data? I want to take readings at 10 second intervals. Do I need to use setup code to change output data from string to float? SDI12.h library will have to be used, I know that.

To my knowledge (and tech support's), this sensor (Apogee SIL-411 infrared radiometer) has not been used with an Arduino before. Here's the product manual. Any help is greatly appreciated. I'll update with code as the project progresses.

Have you managed to get the sensor to send you data, and have you managed to print the raw data?

Please do not make new threads on the same topic. Continue with the previous thread.

4

Are you prepared to build a tri-state serial interface board for your Arduino or do you have one already?

6

I am not, nor do I have one. Why would I need one of those?

7

Because that is the interface used by your sensor.

8

The SDI-12 Interface specification includes sample microprocessor interface circuits.
