Common Tasks in ECH20 Utility
4.2.1
Configuring the Em50/Em50R/Em50G
The Em50 does not require any programming, but it does have sev-
eral parameters that control identity and function.
To change a
parameter, connect to your device, change the parameter, then click
Apply to send the parameter changes to your device.
Name:
Each Em50 device should have a unique name. The de-
fault name is the unit serial number. You can change this to any
legal name you want. A legal device name uses upper and lower case
letters, numbers, underscores, and hyphens. Spaces and most punc-
tuation are not legal name characters. ECH20 Utility prevents you
from choosing a name containing illegal characters.
Serial Number:
When set in the factory, this is a read-only value.
Measurement Interval:
The Em50 and Em50R loggers allow you
to select a measurement interval between 1 and 1,440 minutes while
the Em50G allows you to set a measurement interval between 5 and
1,440 minutes. A measurement interval of zero (0) or “off” stops the
logger from making measurements.
Port Sensor:
The Em50 requires you to identify the sensor type
for each of the five sensors.
Cellular Settings:
To turn the cellular network of the Em50G
on or off, click the “Configure” button in the “Communication Op-
tion” section.
The cellular network is active when “Upload data
to ECH
2
OData.com” box is checked and is off when the box is not
checked. The Em50G is uploading data to the Decagon Data Service
(“on”) by default. See Section 5 for more information on the Em50G.
Choose up to six upload times. Default upload times are: 6-7 AM,
10-11 AM, 1-2 PM, 4-5 PM. To conserve battery power, choose fewer
upload times.
