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, XLink identifies each logged value with the label.

stored in LinkComm but not in the station.

Right Digits
The number of digits shown after the decimal place is referred to as the right digits. To make the

be rounded to the requested number of digits
before
being logging.
