Sutron Corporation Satlink Operations & Maintenance Manual, Rev 8.04.2 11/3/2016 pg. 70
For details on the different measure types, please see section
9.1.4.
Label
User set name given to measurement, up to 11 bytes. This is used to identify and differentiate
measurements. This value will be placed in the log each time a measurement is made, so that
changing a label will not affect previously logged data. Example labels: AT, Stage, Baro, Precip,
Batt.
Please use unique labels for each different measurement. Failure to do so will result in a hard to
understand log file. When downloading the log, Satlink identifies each logged value with the
label.
9.1.5.
Model
Model is a text field available to enter the model name or number for a sensor. This is metadata
stored in LinkComm but not in SL3.
9.1.6.
Manufacturer
Manufacturer is a text field available to enter manufacturer information for the sensor. This is
metadata stored in LinkComm but not in SL3.
9.1.7.
Description
Description is a text field available to enter additional information for the sensor. This is
metadata stored in LinkComm but not in SL3.
9.1.8.
Right Digits
The number of digits shown after the decimal place is referred to as the right digits. To make the
measurement read 10.12 rather than 10.12345, set the right digits to 2. Note that Satlink will
round to the requested number of digits
before
logging the data.
9.1.9.
Units
Units can be specified for any measurement and will be stored with the data when it is logged.
Use the dropdown list to pick from the built-in list of units. You may also enter the units text
directly into the text box. The units text can only be 3 characters long.
