: Shows the logger type identified by the Query Logger function.
Current firmware revision
: Shows the firmware version currently programmed in the connected
data logger.
Available Versions
: Lists all the firmware available to the Starlog software that is compatible with
the connected data logger. You may click the
Browse
button to manually select an unlisted
firmware, but updating a logger with unlisted firmware may make the logger unusable or even
damage it!

SDI-12 Test
The
SDI-12 Test
function allows you to check the operation of the Starflow as
an SDI-12 recorder and the operation if it is being used as an SDI-12 sensor
such as a Starflow instrument connected to an external logger. This is
explained in more detail on page 85.
11.4
Velocity Trace
This facility helps you to learn more about using Starflow for flow
measurement. It lets you look at the velocity data the Starflow is recording and
to experiment with ways of improving the signal.
This program displays as a histogram the velocities collected during each measuring cycle. It lets
you observe the “shape” of the signal and review a “mean” velocity calculated in several ways.
Using this you may carry out tests and experiments in various flow environments.
