DATA
With the 6541 Precision Water Level Instrument connected to a STARLOGGER
or PROLOGGER or, when using the 6541-nn-C internal Micrologger;
the water
level sensed by the instrument is logged and stored according to a data logging
program (called a Scheme), defined within the STARLOG Software Package.
The Windows-based STARLOG Software Package enables you to create a
scheme and then download it to the STARLOGGER, PROLOGGER or
Micrologger.
The STARLOG User Manual describes use of the Software Package.
3.1 Creating a Scheme for Your Project
A Scheme has to be loaded into each UNIDATA logger. Schemes are generally
unique to a site or project.
The scheme instructs the logger:
•
What instruments are connected
•
How and when to log the data
•
How to scale the acquired data
•
How to format the output (defined as reports in the scheme).
3.1.1 Adding an Instrument to a Scheme
As the 6541B is a new instrument, you may need to add it to the
Instrument
Library
in your software. In the
Scheme Editor,
click the
Instruments
icon.
This will display the Scheme Instruments window.
Select an Instrument Library, then view the instruments listed. If this model of
instrument does not appear in your instrument list(s), you may add it by clicking
the New button.
The new instrument will be shown as
User
#1-User defined instrument.
Double-click it
to open the
Instrument Setup
screen.
You can now enter a name and description
for the instrument, allocate a channel, the
scaling factors, and other setup details
.
