Maintenance Menu

This menu is used to perform several diagnostic tests and includes tools for the maintenance of the data
logger. Below the maintenance menu is shown:

It is recommended that the user first consult this menu and run
some tests, before deployment. Or, in the case of failure after
proper operation, this menu has to be consulted first. The user
can enter this by using either USB or remotely with TCP.

Field Testing

This is a very important menu which holds several test-tools. They are discussed below:

Verify Analog inputs

This feature allows the user to check the operation of the analog inputs. It shows the exact voltage,
measured at the input. It shows the plain voltage / current without the addition of multipliers/offset values ,
that are present in the configuration. The use of this feature is to let the user check the calibration of the
data logger against a well-known voltage/current source. Below a screenshot of this test is shown:

The internal reference must always be 1.2
Volts +- 0.1 %. For using this feature in
the field, just disconnect your sensor and
attach your calibrator and check the
value.

Digital input test

This test allows the user to test the proper operation of the digital inputs.
Below a screenshot is shown:

The pulses generated during this test will
not interfere with your real measurements,
defined in the configuration.

Observe values refreshed every second

When finished press any key

Internal Vref = 1.2061 V (ADC = 1497)

Analog input 1 = 0.0046 mA (ADC = 0)

Analog input 2 = 0.0044 mA (ADC = 0)

Analog input 3 = 0.0043 V (ADC = 1)

Analog input 4 = 0.0070 V (ADC = 2)

Analog input 5 = 1.6498 V (ADC = 2047)

Are the analog input values OK?

Choose yes/no >

Digital input test

Apply interrupts on the Digital input pin

When finished press any key

Port 1 Counter = 0
