  • Page 14: Logged Data Array Identification

    The iRIS has a non-volatile real time clock that can be read and/or synchronised using HydroTel™ or iLink 2012. The iRIS 350FX differs from its predecessors in that the internal clock runs in UTC (GMT) and all logged data is time/date stamped in this time zone. HydroTel™ and/or iLink 2012 automatically adjust for this.

    4 iRIS 350X and iRIS 350FX Comparison The iRIS 350FX is an enhanced firmware/software set that can be applied to any existing iRIS 350 or iRIS 350X datalogger. Primarily this update changes the fundamental datalogging format to floating-point and is built around a new IEEE-745 2008 compliant library.

  • Page 17: Installation

    The function of each I/O termination is shown in the diagram below. iRIS 350FX units fitted with a PCB revision V1.2+ have an 18-way connector compared to the 16- way connector on earlier units. The two additional terminals provide an extra GND connection and the 1-wire bus expansion port.
