Common Tasks in ECH20 Utility

4.2.1 Configuring the Em50/Em50R/Em50G
The Em50 does not require any programming, but it does have sev-
eral parameters that control identity and function. To change a
parameter, connect to your device, change the parameter, then click
Apply to send the parameter changes to your device.
Name: Each Em50 device should have a unique name. The de-
fault name is the unit serial number. You can change this to any
legal name you want. A legal device name uses upper and lower case
letters, numbers, underscores, and hyphens. Spaces and most punc-
tuation are not legal name characters. ECH20 Utility prevents you
from choosing a name containing illegal characters.
Serial Number: When set in the factory, this is a read-only value.
Measurement Interval: The Em50 and Em50R loggers allow you
to select a measurement interval between 1 and 1,440 minutes while
the Em50G allows you to set a measurement interval between 5 and
1,440 minutes. A measurement interval of zero (0) or "off" stops the
logger from making measurements.
Port Sensor: The Em50 requires you to identify the sensor type
for each of the five sensors.
Cellular Settings: To turn the cellular network of the Em50G
on or off, click the "Configure" button in the "Communication Op-
tion" section. The cellular network is active when "Upload data
to ECH OData.com" box is checked and is off when the box is not
checked. The Em50G is uploading data to the Decagon Data Service
("on") by default. See Section 5 for more information on the Em50G.
Choose up to six upload times. Default upload times are: 6-7 AM,
10-11 AM, 1-2 PM, 4-5 PM. To conserve battery power, choose fewer
upload times.
