Smart Sensors Logging and Configuration
You can configure both the global settings that affect all
smart sensors (logging interval and sampling interval) and
the settings for each smart sensor (labels, graphs, and
scaling).
a.
Click Smart Sensors Logging from the Configuration
menu.
b.
Select the logging interval. This will be used by all
configured smart sensors.
c.
Enable the sampling interval and enter the rate to use in
minutes and seconds.
Tip:
When a sampling interval is configured, the station
will take multiple measurements within a given logging
interval and then average them together to create a
single logged data point. This is only an option for the
following smart sensors that support measurement
averaging: temperature (S-TMB-M0xx), PAR (S-LIA-
M003), solar radiation (S-LIB-M003), barometric
pressure (S-BPA-CM10 and S-BPB-CM50), 4-20mA input
(S-CIA-CM14), 12-bit voltage input (S-VIA-CM14), and
FlexSmart TRMS module (S-FS-TRMSA-D). Disable the
sampling interval if none of your smart sensors support
measurement averaging to avoid unnecessary drain on
the battery power.
d.
Click Save or click Next.
e.
Click a smart sensor from the Configuration menu.
f.
Type a label for the smart sensor (optional) and click to
enable or disable the graph (enabled by default).
g.
To set up scaling for the smart sensor, click the Enable
Scaling checkbox and fill in the Scaled Units, Multiplier,
Offset, and Scaled Measurement Type fields.
h.
Click Save. You can also click Next to move from one
smart sensor to the next and save the sensor
configuration. Clicking Back does not save the
configuration changes.
i.
Repeat steps e–h for any additional smart sensors you
need to configure.
Water Level Sensor Module Configuration
You can configure both the global settings that affect all
water level sensor channels (logging interval and sampling
interval) and the settings for each individual channel. The
water level sensor includes the following four channels that
automatically record data at each logging interval:
barometric pressure, water pressure, differential pressure,
and water temperature. You can also configure water level
and water flow channels that calculate data based on the
logged data from the four sensor channels and the values
you enter in HOBOlink.
a.
Click Water Level Sensors Logging from the
Configuration menu.
b.
Select the logging interval. This will be used by all
channels associated with this sensor.
c.
Enable the sampling interval (if desired) and enter the
rate to use in minutes and seconds.
d.
Click Save or Next.
e.
Click Barometric Pressure from the Configuration menu.
f.
Type a label for the channel (optional) and click to enable
or disable the graph (enabled by default).
g.
To set up scaling for the channel, click the Enable Scaling
checkbox and fill in the Scaled Units, Multiplier, Offset,
and Scaled Measurement Type fields.
h.
Click Save. Repeat steps e–h for Water Pressure, Diff
Pressure, and Water Temperature.
