Page 35: Configuring The Logger
Configuring the Logger Introduction Before a logger can be installed in the field, the device has to be properly configured. In doing so, you can specify the inputs / outputs, the logging intervals, the alarm conditions and the radio communication settings, among other things. Preparation Proceed as follows to access the configuration of a specific logger: Step... -
Page 36: Selecting The Logging Interval
Selecting the Logging Interval You can select the time interval in which the measured values are logged from the Logging interval drop-down list. Sensor Configuration Introduction Depending on its configuration, up to 4 sensors can be connected to a logger. In order to evaluate the logged data in the right way, the logger needs to know which type of sensor is connected to which channel. -
Page 37: Sensor Type
The internal pressure sensors (Seba Standard Pressure) of the Sebalog D are also part of this list. The measuring range of the internal pressure senor can be obtained from the type number of the logger (see section 2.3). -
