C. Quick Start: Initiating Measurements
Model AQSync Air Quality Monitoring Station Manual Rev. A-1
21
The AQSync’s upload frequency set in the previous section (Section C.6.1) will
influence the user’s choices of instrument and sensor outputs. At the factory default
value of 5 minutes for the upload frequency, in most cases it would make sense to use
instrument and sensor settings that are faster than 5 minutes.
Because the AQSync
averages all the values it receives from an instrument/sensor since the last
upload, it likely makes the most sense to set the instrument/sensor output to one
of its faster settings. When shipped from the factory, the output of the
instruments/sensors are set in this way.
The table below summarizes the instrument/sensor output options, factory settings, and
user options.

AQSync Time and Date
The AQSync acquires its time and date stamp from the web, either via cellular
connection or WiFi. The UTC time/date stamp is shown on the Home screen of the
touchscreen. It is also incorporated into the data streams that are accessible via the
web or via USB (data access is described in Section D of this manual).
The format of the date can be specified by the user. First access the System Settings
menu, followed by the Date Format menu. Use the dropdown menu and “Save”.
