Graphing Screen
Select “Graphing” from the bottom right of
the Main screen to view a plot of any of the
measured variables of the AQSync. The
Graphing screen has a pulldown menu for
selecting the quantity plotted. The range of
the graph can be specified. In addition, the
“Select” menu enables the quantities plotted
and color choices to be customized.
C.3.3
Parameters Screen
Further detail can be seen for each instrument or sensor by selecting the Parameters
tab and then selecting the parameter of interest. For example:
In the above example, values for the NO
2
/NO/NO
x
instrument include the cell
temperature and pressure, flow rates, photodiode voltages, scrubber temperature, error
byte, and mode. (The NOx instrument manual
gives more detail about the NOx instrument and the interpretation of this information.)
The information given in the Parameters screen varies for each measured species.
This information can be useful for diagnosing any issues that might be occurring with
the instrument. The Troubleshooting section of this manual (Section H.2) describes the
Parameters screens. Also refer to the user manuals linked in Appendix 1 of this manual.
C.3.4
Accessing Data via the Web and USB (Overview)
As shipped from the factory, the AQSync is configured so that data from its instruments
and sensors are integrated and then transmitted via cellular or WiFi to the web every 5
minutes (as noted in Section C.6, this frequency can be changed by the user). The data
can be accessed for analysis on the web.
This integrated web-based data stream is
the primary data acquisition mode for use of the AQSync.
Data files for individual
measured species are also accessible via USB. Section D of this manual gives further
information about how to access your data.
