More expensive?

[edit]

The standard document itself contains a section titled "Advantages" which lists, among other benefits:

  • Sensors can use low cost EEPROMs (electrically erasable programmable read only memory) for calibration coefficients and other information instead of internal trimming operations.
  • The use of a standard serial interface eliminates significant complexity in the design of data recorders.

These wouldn't have been thrown in as an afterthought. It seems wholly incorrect to assert that SDI-12 devices "tend to be more expensive" based on the unfounded assumption that "extra components and chips" result in a higher overall price.
