6.6.1 Configure a DataStation
After establishing a connection, set the Channel and Subchannel. Set
the Channel from 0 to 6 inclusive (default is 0) and the Subchannel
from 0 to 65534 inclusive (default is 0).
Notice the chosen Channel and Subchannel settings. Click the Ap-
ply button to save the settings to the DataStation. For easy data
downloading and telemetry testing, leave the DataStation plugged
into your computer and your powered at all times.
Configure an Em50R Logger for use with the DataStation To use
one or more Em50R loggers with a DataStation the Radio Mode has
to be set to one of the Transmit modes. We recommend the "Con-
firm Delivery" transmit mode.
Connect the Em50R to your computer or handheld device using the
appropriate cable. Start ECH20 Utility, ECH20 Utility Mobile or
DataTrac. Once you are connected, set the radio Channel and Sub-
channel settings to exactly the values chosen for the DataStation
previously. Set the Radio Mode to Confirmed Delivery Transmit.
This mode provides a method for confirming the delivery of the data
which greatly increases the ability of the system to successfully trans-
fer the data. The Transmit + two-way modes are there for use as
troubleshooting aids. Set the measurement interval and pick the sen-
sors that are plugged into each port. See the section on Configuring
