4.3.2 Get Readings from the End Device (continued)
The “Readings” fields are defined as follows:
Name:
End Device’s name
Reading Values:
The order from left to right is Process Temperature, then
Ambient.
First Reading:
Process - external thermocouple or RTD temperature reading
with temperature unit.
Second Reading:
Ambient - built-in sensor temperature reading with
temperature unit.
Reading “Open” indicates that no sensing device is detected.
ID:
End Device ID/address
Sequence:
Sequence number [
0-255
].
The Sequence number is incremented for each newly received data. Therefore,
it indicates if the sensor is transmitting data successfully.
Strength:
It is the radio signal strength (0-100%), the higher the better.
Success:
0-100%, a low success rate indicates a longer data delay, shorter
battery lifetime and high network traffic.
Battery:
The total voltage of the battery in the End Device. Once the voltage
gets to 3.0V, the batteries should be replaced.
Update:
The time interval the Meter received data from the End Device.
Running/Lost:
It displays “Running” if the Meter is receiving packages from the
End Device. It displays “Lost” if the Meter has not received data from the End
Device.
Data Logging:
Press to activate/de-activate data logging. When it is pressed to
activate data logging, a file browser pops up to ask for which file data will be
saved.
Data is in Comma Separated Value format, which can also be opened in Excel.
Please name file with
.csv
extension.
See
Section 4.3.4
before activating data logging.
