USER MANUAL
Solar DataSnap | Sep. 30, 2021 © 2021 Acclima, Inc. https://acclima.com
If one or more DataSnaps are connected via a USB port, the SnapView
software will automatically find each DataSnap, connect to it and retrieve
all of its configuration and sensor readings. This data is saved on the PC
and is available for analysis in SnapView.
While the SnapView software is downloading sensor readings from a
connected DataSnap, user actions such as reading sensors and saving a
new configuration to that DataSnap are still allowed. If these interruptions
occur, the download will be temporarily suspended for up to 1 minute
before automatically resuming again. While the synchronization is
interrupted, the green status icon will stop spinning.
Read Sensors Manually
Each DataSnap can accommodate up to 10 sensors. The
connected sensors can be manually read at any time. Prior to
reading any sensor, the sensor must be connected to and
configured on the DataSnap. This is a one-time process and is covered in
detail in the ‘Configuration’ section. Manual readings do not occur
automatically and are not saved for historical analysis.
Reading Sensors
•
Click the ‘Read’ button at the top of the screen. A list of all
connected DataSnaps and their configured sensors is displayed as
seen in figure 13. By default, each DataSnap and each sensor is
selected. This is denoted by a check mark next to the name. Each
time the ‘Read’ button is clicked, all selected (ie: checked) sensors
will be read and the data displayed. To select or deselect all
sensors on a DataSnap, click the checkmark next to the
DataSnap’s name. To expand/collapse the list of sensors, click the
gray circle or click the DataSnap’s name. Individual sensors can be
selected/deselected by clicking the checkmark next to the sensor
name.
