10.
Configure the station in HOBOlink.
Go to Devices > List and click the
icon next to your
station. Use the configuration screens in HOBOlink to finish
setting up the station, starting with General Configuration
(the nickname, time zone, and image for the station). Use
the Next button to move from one configuration screen to
the next or use the left menu to select a specific item to
configure. Follow the steps in the next subsections to
configure the readout settings, smart sensors, wireless
sensors, and optional modules. Any changes you make will
take effect the next time the station connects to HOBOlink.
Note:
Click Save or Next in any screen to save your changes.
You will lose any changes made if you click Back without
clicking Next or Save first.
Readout Configuration
a.
Set the connection interval, which is how often the
station will connect to HOBOlink. For the RX3003 and
R3004 cellular models, the minimum connection
interval depends on your communication plan.
b.
If you wish to set up a second connection interval, select
the “Night mode” checkbox. Select when night mode
should begin and end and then enter the connection
interval you want to use during that part of the day.
(The night mode schedule can take effect any time
during the day; it does not have to be at night.) Use this
option to save data in your communications plan (if
applicable) or to conserve battery power at night when
solar charging is unavailable. You can view current plan
usage in the Device Information section on your
station’s page in HOBOlink.
c.
Click Save or click Next.
Smart Sensors Logging and Configuration
You can configure both the global settings that affect all smart
sensors (logging interval and sampling interval) and the settings
for each smart sensor (labels, graphs, and scaling).
a.
Click Smart Sensors Logging from the menu on the left.
b.
Select the logging interval. This will be used by all
configured smart sensors.
c.
Enable the sampling interval and enter the rate to use in
minutes and seconds.
Tip:
When a sampling interval is configured, the station
will take multiple measurements within a given logging
interval and then average them together to create a
single logged data point. This is only an option for the
following smart sensors that support measurement
averaging: temperature (S-TMB-M0xx), PAR (S-LIA-
M003), solar radiation (S-LIB-M003), barometric
pressure (S-BPA-CM10 and S-BPB-CM50), 4-20mA input
(S-CIA-CM14), 12-bit voltage input (S-VIA-CM14), and
FlexSmart TRMS module (S-FS-TRMSA-D). Disable the
sampling interval if none of your smart sensors support
measurement averaging to avoid unnecessary drain on
the battery power.
d.
Click Save or click Next.
e.
Click a smart sensor from the menu.
f.
Type a label for the smart sensor (optional) and click to
enable or disable the graph (enabled by default).
g.
To set up scaling for the smart sensor, click the Enable
Scaling checkbox and fill in the Scaled Units, Multiplier,
Offset, and Scaled Measurement Type fields.
