Notes 

In  this mode the logger will be continuously connected to the server 
allowing  for the streaming of real time data. 

In this mode, the logger will 'wakeup' (normally 6 hourly) and upload

Fitted onto each logger is an onboard 24V 30mA power generator. The Cumulus Pulse Logger can generate a stable 24V
