To change the noise rejection or sensor support option for future programs, use the
Program menu.
4. A list of Available Sensors and Devices and Selected Measurements Available for Output
display. Battery voltage
BattV
and internal temperature
PTemp_C
are selected by
default. During operation, battery and temperature should be recorded at least daily to
assist in monitoring system status.
5. Use the Search feature or expand folders to locate your sensor or device. Double-click on a
sensor or measurement in the Available Sensors and Devices list to configure the device (if
needed) and add it to the Selected list. For the example program, expand the
Sensors/Temperature folder and double-click Type T Thermocouple.
6. If the sensor or device requires configuration, a window displays with configuration
options. Click Help at the bottom of the window to learn more about any field or option.
For the example program, accept the default options:
l
1 Type T TC sensor
l
Temp_C as the Temperature label, and set the units to Deg C
l
PTemp_C as the Reference Temperature Measurement.
7. Click OK.
8. Click Wiring Diagram on the left side of the window to see how to wire the sensor to the
data logger. With the power disconnected from the data logger, insert the wires as directed
in the diagram. Ensure you clamp the terminal on the conductor, not the wire insulation.
Use the included flat-blade screwdriver to open/close the terminals.
9. Click Sensors on the left side of the window to return to the sensor selection window, then
click Next at the bottom of the window.
10. Type 1 in the How often should the data logger measure its sensor(s)? box.
11. Use the Output Setup options to specify how often measurements are to be made and how
often outputs are to be stored. Note that multiple output intervals can be specified, one for
each output table (Table1 and Table2 tabs). For the example program, only one table is
needed. Click the Table2 tab and click Delete Table.
12. In the Table Name box, type a name for the table. For example: OneMin.
13. Select a Data Output Storage Interval. For example: to 1 minute.
14. Click Next.
15. Select the measurement from the Selected Measurements Available for Output list, then
click an output processing option to add the measurement to the Selected Measurements
11. Creating a Short Cut data logger program
