Without that, the logger will shutdown.
The Wakeup Period refers to the time a logger remains asleep before waking and connecting to the server to upload its
data. The Datalog Period is the time between each recorded datalog entry.
Datalog timings are calculated forward from midnight of the day on which they are set. What this means is that if the
datalog period is set to 5 minutes for instance, the next log time will be calculated as 5 minute intervals starting from
midnight. This means that each entry would appear on the 5 minute interval of an hour.
Wakeup timings are calculated forward from the moment a
