LOGGER SETTINGS
The pre-programmed logger settings are included in the SETUPOLD(BACKUP).TXT file on the memory
card. To restore or change settings on the logger, copy the file and re-name the copy as SETUP.TXT
Make any changes required in order to prepare it to configure the logger. A few of the adjustable
settings are discussed below; additional information is available in the logger's user manual.
The 110-WS-S10 Data Logger is pre-programmed to receive and store data from one sensor, using the
start (STX) and end (ETX) characters to identify each record. The default condition is to record every
message the sensor generates.
The number of messages a sensor generates for a given time interval depends on the sensor's own
configuration. This rate may be too fast (resulting in data files that are large), or too slow, not providing
enough detail. Check the sensor manual for information on setting the output of the sensor to a rate
that is suitable for your application. If the sensor is providing too much data and cannot be adjusted to
a suitable speed, the S10 logger can be programmed to ignore some messages and only log messages
that arrive at a specified interval (range 0 to 60 seconds). In the SETUP.TXT file:
RATE=R
R =
0
to
60
R should be set to a value greater than the sensor output interval or 0
If R = 0, every sample received by the S10 logger will be recorded
The S10 logger creates a new file each day for storing data. If preferred, all data may be set to record
to one continuous log file. In the SETUP.TXT file:
SINGLEFILE=F
F =
Y
or
N
If F =
Y
, data is stored in a single log file
If F =
N
, data is stored in daily files
If required for formatting the logged data, a line break may be added at the end of each recorded data
set. In the SETUP.TXT file:
NEWLINE=L
L =
Y
or
N
If L =
Y
, the characters <CR><LF> are appended
If L =
N
, nothing is appended
The baud rate is selectable to match the connected device. In the SETUP.TXT file:
BAUD=B
Where B is the baud rate. Valid baud rates are 115200, 57600, 38400, 19200, 9600, 4800,
2400, 1200, 300 and 110 bits per second.
