Configuration of logger

Logger Configuration is used to change the properties of the logger and start a new session of logging.



Buttons

  • OK:
    Click to save the changes to logger and close the dialog.
  • Apply:
    Click to save the changes to logger.
  • Cancel:
    Click to close the dialog without saving the changes.
  • Help:
    Open help file for Configuration of Logger.

General

General section contains general properties of the logger. 

  • Description:
    Specify the description of the logger. Up to 30 characters.
  • Sample Interval:

    This field specifies the time span the logger will wait between two measurements sampling. Valid settings are:


    Sampling Interval for Fast Sampling Mode

    Sampling Interval for Normal Sampling Mode

    20, 30, …90 milliseconds *

    5 seconds to 9 seconds in 1-second increment

    100, 200… 900 milliseconds *

    10 seconds to 50 seconds in 10-second increment

    1,2,3,4 seconds *

    1 minute to 59 minutes with 1-minute increment

    1 hour to 12 hour with 1-hour increment


    For LRHT-1/2, PRECISE-LOG logger, the minimum sampling interval is one second.

    For SITE-LOG logger, if the sampling interval you set is 4 seconds or faster, the logger must be powered by an external power supply during the logging period of time.
    For iLog logger, you can specify the fast sampling mode's value (either one second or five seconds)


    Making changes to the Sampling Interval will affect Total Time Span fields.

  • On-board LED:
    Check this field to enable the on-board status LED. If the LED is enabled it will flash each time when it samples data to indicate:
    1.      The logging is active if the LED is in green.
    2.      The logger is in alarm state if the LED is in red.
    3.      The battery will die soon if the LED is in amber.

    If you do not need LED indication, please uncheck this field to increase the battery life.
  • When Memory Full:
    If you want the logger to stop logging when the memory is full select Stop logging. If you want the logger to continue logging and overwrite the oldest data with new data (FIFO), you choose Continue logging.
  • Time to Start & Time to End:
    These two fields specify the desired time the logger will start logging data and the time to stop logging data.

    Making changes to the Time to End will affect Total Time Span fields mentioned later.

    If you have selected the “Continue logging” field, when the memory is full, both start time and end time will move forward accordingly.
     
  • Total Time Span:
    These fields are an alternate way to specify the total logging time from the start time you specified above.

    Changing on these fields will affect the Time to End field.
     
  • Memory Usage:
    Specify the memory usage for the new setting.

    If you change Time to Start and Time to End, Total Time Span will change accordingly.

Alarm & Excitation (for SITE-LOG and iLOG series) 

  • Alarm/Excitation Selection:
    Specify how the alarm and excitation will output to C/A1 and C/A2 strips.

    Available selections:    

    Disable any output -> C/A1 and C/A2:
    Both C/A1 and C/A2 are disabled.
    High alarm -> C/A2 only:
    C/A1 is disabled. C/A2 is controlled by high alarm only. i.e. if high alarm is tripped turn on C/A2.
    Low alarm -> C/A1 only:
    C/A2 is disabled. C/A1 is controlled by low alarm only. i.e. if low alarm is tripped turn on C/A1.
    High alarm -> C/A2 and low alarm -> C/A1:
    C/A1 is controlled by low alarm and C/A2 is controlled by high alarm.
    High alarm and low alarm -> C/A1:
    C/A2 is disabled.
    C/A1 is controlled by both low and high alarm.
    Excitation control -> C/A2:
    C/A1 is disabled.
    C/A2 is controlled by Excitation control only.
    Excitation control -> C/A2 and both alarms -> C/A1:
    C/A1 is controlled by both low and high alarms.
    C/A2 is controlled by Excitation control.
    Excitation control -> C/A2 and low alarm -> C/A1:
    C/A1 is controlled by low alarm.
    C/A2 is controlled by Excitation control.
    Excitation control -> C/A2 and high alarm -> C/A1:
    C/A1 is controlled by high alarm.
    C/A2 is controlled by Excitation control.
  • Alarm-On Delay:
    This filed specifies a time delay before applying alarms.

    If delay certain time before sending out alarm notification if there is an alarm. 

    Valid range: 0 minute to 59 minutes.
  • Alarm-Off Delay:
    This filed specifies a time delay from the alarm is off the threshold to the alarm is cleared.


    Valid range: 0 minute to 59 minutes.
     
  • Excitation Warmup Delay:
    Specify the warm-up delay between the time the excitation control is turned on and the time the logger starts to sample the current reading.
    Available selections: 10 to 240 seconds in 10 seconds interval.
  • Channel Alarm Setting:
    Channel#:
    Specify the channel number.
    Alarm Enabled:
    Specify if current channel will enable or disable alarm function.
    Low Alarm:
    Specify the low alarm threshold in physical unit.
    High Alarm:
    Specify the high alarm threshold in physical unit.
    Unit:
    Specify the unit for the alarm thresholds.

Alarm for PRECISE-LOG series:

Refer to the same fields in above section for details.

Wifi Settings for PRECISE-LOG with WIFI Module:

  • Wifi Mode:

    Standard Server Mode: Both data logger and the host PC join an existing WIFI network. Then the host PC can create USB Server connection to communicate with the data logger.
    AccessPoint Server Mode: The data logger will create a WIFI access point and wait for the host PC to join. After joined, the host PC can use IP address: 10.10.100.254 to communicate with the data logger.


  • Device IP/Port:
    Device IP Address is read only and it is assigned by the WIFI network router.  In AccessPoint server mode, it is fixed to 10.10.00.254.
  • Port:
    The port number the logger will use.
  • Wifi Access Point:
    This section is used to set the settings for the Wifi network the logger will connect to. Or the AP the data logger will create if the Wifi Mode is set to AccessPoint Server mode.
  • Server Mode Properties:
    This section specifies the password at the logger side. SiteView must use this password to communicate with the logger.

Channels:

  • Channel#:
    Specify the channel number.
  • Enabled:
    Specify if the channel is enabled or disabled. Logger does not record data for those disabled channels.
  • Description:
    Specify the description of the channel.
  • Equation:
    Specify the equation of the channel.
  • Cali. Low & Cali. High:
    Specify the Zero calibration value in raw dight value.
