SENSORS
Adding & Configuring Sensors
The Storm 3 data logger uses a set of
sensor libraries to quickly and easily
configure the system. Sensors can be
added and configured by pressing the
Sensors button near the bottom of the
navigation pane.
New sensors can be added by selecting
a sensor from the available dropdowns.
If a sensor isn’t listed within the library
options, the Generic Sensor Type can be
used for the sensor type. For example, an
analog sensor that was not listed under
the available libraries could still easily be
used by selecting the Generic Analog
Sensor option.
For every sensor that has been added,
a Sensor Setup screen will become
available under the navigation pane. The
name of the sensor will be displayed as
the navigation link. Sensors will have
different settings available based on their
sensor type.
The sensor will be measured based on
the scan rate listed under the Schedule
section of the Sensor Setup screen. The
format is HH:MM:SS (hours, minutes, and
seconds) in 24-hour format.
Each sensor measurement can be saved to the internal memory of the Storm data logger by using
the Log File output option. Simply check the checkbox under the Outputs section for the sensor to
record to the indicated log file. The ordering within and additional information about the log file
itself can be found by pressing the Outputs button in the navigation pane on the left of the screen.
