Start-/Stop-Button
4.1.4.1
Acoustic Monitoring
The Start-/Stop-Button allows for starting and stopping of the acoustical monitoring and, if you using
a BATmode 2S+, also the simultaneous recording of temperature and precipitation.
Settings used for the acoustic monitoring can be made on the <
Monitoring
> page.
The number of channels or measurement points to be acquired is selected automatically based on the
connected UltraSoundGates. For example, if you want to examine two measurement points in parallel,
connect two UltraSoundGates 116Hnbm to the system before starting the monitoring.
4.1.4.2
Recording of meteorological data
Meteorological data are stored in several files depending on the connected sensors:
“conditionlog.txt”:
When starting the monitoring with the start/stop button the recording of temperature and
precipitation data starts automatically. An average value of the temperature and precipitation
data recorded every 30-seconds is determined every 10 minutes, regardless of the recording
times of the acoustic monitoring set on the page <Monitoring>, and is written to the file
"conditionlog.txt" in the monitoring directory. The specified time stamp always refers to the
beginning of the 10-minute mean interval. If no sensor is connected or if the system BATmode
2S is used, no recording of temperature and precipitation takes place.
“comportlog.txt”:
If you use a serial laser precipitation sensor from ThiesClima (5.4110.X0.XXX) or the SWS-250
from Biral, the telegram data of the sensor are additionally stored with a preceding time stamp
in the file "comportlog.txt" in the monitoring directory when monitoring is started. The storage
