XLINK 500/100 Operations & Maintenance Manual page # 101
The setup measures a sensor every five minutes.
The setup makes hourly GOES transmissions
Each GOES transmission has 2 hours worth of 15-minute data (8 data points)
The setup also does Iridium transmissions every 30 minutes
Every Iridium transmission has 30 minutes worth of 5-minute data (6 data points)

Measurement Setup Defaults
To change the setup of a single measurement to its defaults, type M1 SETUP DEFAULT on the
command line to reset measurement one. This will affect only one measurement.

Measurement Calibration
There is an easy way to change the current reading of any measurement: press the Calibrate
button on the Measurements tab in LinkComm and enter the desired reading.
Via command line, type M1=10.5 to set the reading of measurement one to 10.5
T
his calibration procedure has the effect of modifying the measurement’s O
ffset
.
When a sensor is calibrated, the system will log the readings before and after the calibration
along with a calibration event:
>M1 = 12
Measurement M1 STAGE set to 12.000

Multiple Measurements Using the Same Sensor
You can set up multiple measurements with the same input. For example, to log the daily rainfall
and the rainfall during the last hour, set up two measurements: one as a precipitation rate with
an interval of one hour, and another as precipitation rate with an interval of one day.
