Linx Logger V1.3 April 2018
1.7 Philosophy of operation contd...
Scenario 3: At time of installation no sensor information is uploaded to the logger.
To Download: User Connects to logger and navigates to sensor config, correct factors are
inputted, uploaded and then data is collected.
NOTE: During download the sensor configuration information on the software is used for
converting to engineering units, if required the user can update the sensor information in the
software and download without uploading sensor information to the logger in order to
validate the sensor information. Once the information is validated it is recommended the
correct factors are uploaded to the logger, failure to upload will result in previous sensor
information being displayed when next connecting to the logger.
Append Data
The Append data function performs the same function as data download however gives the
ability to append the data onto another file. This is useful when a logger has been wiped of
its memory when a new configuration is uploaded.
NOTE: Data Append will append all downloaded data to a file and NOT just new data. If
logger memory is not wiped after each download, duplication of data will occur.
Real Time Readings
Real Time Readings are not logged and serve as a tool to ensure sensors are connected
and functioning as expected during installation or monitoring. A Key is used to allow easy
identification of sensor configuration status:
RED: No sensor connected
ORANGE: Sensor connected with no calibration information
GREEN: Sensor connected with calibration information
