Measurement Setup
The measurements tab in LinkComm is where the measurement setups are managed.
A measurement is the process of collecting data from a sensor. XLink provides the ability to establish up to
32 measurements, each with its unique settings. Each measurement will occur periodically and provide
one sensor reading. How a measurement behaves is governed by its setup. Each of the 32 measurements
has its own setup. Changing the setup of one measurement will not affect other measurements (except for
Meta
measurements).
Measurement results may be logged or just used for alarms or by other measurements. The log can hold
over 1,000,000 readings (may be expanded to 1,000,000,000 readings). Logged measurement results may
be transmitted using installed modems.
Sensor results are internally represented using IEEE 64 double precision floating point values.
The measurement setup is divided into the following sections.
10.1
Sensor Setup
10.1.1
Active
Making a measurement active is the first step in setup of a measurement. If a measurement is not active,
you can still enter a setup; however, the measurement will not be performed.
10.1.2
Sensor Template
LinkComm provides templates for many common sensors. The template configures settings for the most
important sensor parameters, and includes sensor metadata, e.g., a picture of the sensor, its wiring
diagram, manufacturer, model, description, and units. Setting up a sensor using the Sensor template is a
great way to avoid setup mistakes.
Note: Sensor metadata (picture, wiring diagram, etc.), is NOT stored in XLink but only
in the station definition in LinkComm.
