Agilaire 8872 Manual
Chapter 1 Theory of Operation
After the first configuration sync, you may elect to change this to either of the following:
Download, Then Upload = apply changes in logger to central, then apply changes in
central to logger
Upload, Then Download = apply changes in Central to logger first, then apply changes in
logger to central.
Special Notes Regarding Required SQL Configuration for 8872
TCP/IP Protocol
must be enabled using
SQL Configuration Tool
.
SQL Server must be configured to allow
Remote Connections
.
The “sa” account must be enabled (under
Security
) and the correct password must be set
in the connection string.
Firewall
should allow
ports 1433 open
on the 8872, router, and intervening firewalls.
Normally, Agilaire sets all these defaults in the 8872, but the settings are repeated here in the
event local IT staff changes the settings, or for users who want to use site node logger
software with their own PC hardware.
Initial Logger Configuration
By default, the 8872’s configuration is pre-loaded with standard analog input channels and
digital inputs/outputs to match the supplied I/O configuration. No Parameter records are entered,
so the user can create new parameters to match the desired configuration (unused channels are
ignored). The user may also need to use the
Change Channel Type
function in the
Channels
Editor
to change channel types from the
Standard
calculation to other calculations (
Vector
Wind, Sigma Theta
, etc).
This configuration can be done in the AirVision central as well, but an initial synchronization of
the logger channels should be done before embarking on this.
Important:
It is critical that the user should not create channels in the AirVision central
that conflict with the channels already loaded in the 8872 before synchronizing. These
channel configurations include internal ID codes that will not reconcile in this case.
