GPS connection
The GPS connector on the telemetry panel shown in Figure 4 is used by the internal FTS G6 transmitter.
The FTS G6 transmitter uses the GPS signal to synchronize its clock to UTC time. The Axiom H1
Datalogger is in turn synchronized with UTC time from the FTS G6 transmitter and can be set to any
time zone offset. The Axiom H1 Datalogger also obtains position information (latitude, longitude, and
elevation) from the FTS G6 transmitter

User interface
The Datalogger’s user interface incorporates an industrial grade colour touchscreen with a GUI
(graphical user interface) application, and standard USB connectors. This eliminates the need for a
personal computer during site visits or when configuring the Datalogger.
Touchscreen
1.5.1
The display used in the Axiom H1 Datalogger is a high visibility, industrial grade, 3.5” colour LCD
module with quarter VGA resolution and a built-in touch panel. The display is backlit and is bright and
clear even in direct sunlight. A tethered stylus is supplied with each Datalogger for use with the
touchscreen although most icons are large enough to be operated with a bare finger.
1.5.1.1
Backlight
The touchscreen’s backlight turns on when the touchscreen is touched and automatically turns off after
10 minutes of non-use (no touches on the touchscreen).
