On the
SFM
Software, fields are given for Naming and adding a Comment,
These fields are specific to the individual serial numbers of the
SFM
1 loggers.
This naming system can be helpful for experiments, for instance naming them
based on location or purpose of the
SFM
1 and to tell them apart easily.
Of the two fields, the Name field ties to the
SFM
1 serial number within the RF
and USB chooser list, this makes it easier to find the logger you wish to connect
to when using multiple
SFM
1 loggers in the field.
Entering
I
nformation:
1) To edit the fields the original text needs to be erased, select the X next to the field you need to clear.
2) Type in the desired description – make sure to keep it short or abbreviated to a naming scheme.
3) Select “Update Sensor Information” – this will save both fields into the
SFM
1 memory (note this
will retain in the loggers memory regardless of SD
C
ard present or removed.)
4) For the update to be successful, you will need to power down the
SFM
1 for 5 minutes and then
power it back up. To do so, remove external power to the bus plugs, disconnect in the
SFM
software
and power down by the power button (hold in for 2+ seconds) or use the power down command in the
SFM
software – once the software disconnects remove USB cable if
USB c
able was
used.
5) When ready use the power button to turn the logger back on or alternatively power can be turned on
automatically by connecting external power and/or a USB cable.
