To create a new sensor, click on the "New Data Set" button. The Ser[LOG]-Commander
then switches to a "new" definition window. In this mode, the selection field "Sensor" is an
input field in which you can enter the name of the sensor.
You then define the general sensor information. In the field "Name" you can enter a descriptive text for
the sensor. The "Abbreviation" is the text that appears on the display of the data logger and is used by
the LAMBRECHT programs "MeteoWare_CS" or "MeteoWare_Net_Center". Only a restricted charac-
ter set (ASCII) is available for this field. A table with the permitted characters can be found in Chapter
18.
Enter the unit of the sensor in the "Unit" field of the same name. The restricted character set also applies
here.
If the sensor is a wind speed sensor, please specify in the field "Unit (only wind)" whether the sensor
delivers its values in "m/s" or in "kt" (kn). The separate selection of the wind unit is required for down-
stream programs such as MeteoWare CS-4 to convert the units if necessary.
Please select the number of decimal places with which the measured values are to be displayed in the
field "Decimal places".
The minimum and maximum values allowed are defined in the "Limits" section. In the field "Undercut"
you can select whether an error is reported if the value falls below the minimum value or whether the
measured value is set to the minimum value. Accordingly, you can select in the field "Exceeded" whether
an error is reported if the maximum value is exceeded or whether the measured value is set to the
maximum value. See also chapter 5.3.6.5.8.
