Configuration: Measurements

Note

Description

1

Enable/Disable the SDI-12 interface.

Having this disabled will make the device not record any SDI-12 data

2

Clicking  on  the  magnifier  will  start  an  SDI-12  device  scan.  The  device  will  automatically  detect  any
connected SDI-12 sensors.

§

Once the device scan is started, and you have found all the devices you need, you can click FINISH to
stop the scan and show your sensors.

§

Supported discovered SDI-12 sensors will allow you to perform a quick-setup. Clicking the button will
open a dialog to configure the measurement:

3

Both manually and automatically (supported sensor) added SDI-12 measurements will be displayed here.

Add SDI-12 measurements manually by clicking the + button.

4

Some  SDI-12  sensors  will  require  to  be  powered  for  some  time  before  being  able  to  perform  a
measurement, here the time in seconds between power-on and starting a measurement can be set.
