Data Logger Configuration

Ideally, this step of the process should be carried out in the same

location where the node is going to be installed. This way, you can

perform an on-site radio coverage test.

The node configuration process is done using the GTecLink app, which

is compatible w i t h any Android device equipped with OTG technology

(OS Android Honeycomb 3.1 or higher required).

Note: Battery usage may be required as some Android devices may not

be able to power some sensors.

The GTecLink app starts up once the device has been connected to the

data logger using the USB-OTG cable, manual start up is not necessary.

When a new version of the app is available, the app will display an

automatic message.

The whole configuration process does not take more than five minutes

and, from that moment, t h e node will start taking readings and

sending data to the gateway.

3.1 Download the Application and Connect to the Node

Download the app onto your Android device from the following link or scan

the QR code:

https://soilinstruments.helpdocs.com/desk/file/4428353/GTecLink.apk

Connect your device to the n o d e u s i n g the U S B -OTG cable

(Accessories list).
Make sure the node i s powered o n (BATT mode).

The app will automatically appear a n d display the node’s basic

information.
