‘
Manage Field Logging
’ is used to setup the SQ
-626 for
the use in the field. When the SQ-626 is supplied
power from a USB power source (plug or select
batteries) it will log data which you can retrieve.
Choose the interval the data is saved, as well as the
interval that data is sampled and the light source used.
The shortest sampling interval is 1 second. The longest
sampling or logging interval is 1440 minutes (1 day).
Click ‘Load Settings’ to see current settings and ‘Save
Setting’ to save the settings you want to the sensor.
Note: If you don’t click save
the sensor won’t change
the settings.
Set the sampling interval in minutes or seconds. The
sampling interval is how often a measurement is taken
and logging interval is how often the data is saved. The
logged data is the average of the samples. The logging
interval must be evenly divided by the sampling
interval. For example, if the logging interval is 5
minutes and the sampling interval is 2 minutes it
causes an error. But a sampling interval of 1 minute is
acceptable.
Before clicking ‘Get Logged Data’ it is important to set
the time of the last logged data point. This is used to
back calculate the timestamps for the remaining data
points. If you just unplugged the sensor and plugged it
into the computer, the preloaded day and time should
be sufficient.
Click ‘
Get Logged Data
’ to save the data to your
computer. You will be asked where you want to save
the data.
Click ‘
Erase Data
’ to erase all the save data. This can’t
be undone.
