R-Log – Quick Start For A-type installation: only one 16M R-Log (ELR515M or ELR5 models) Installation of 3DOM software on PC; Datalogger configuration with 3DOM software; Creation of a Configuration Report; Connection of the probes to the datalogger; ...
Through 3DOM software, you can perform the instrument configuration, change the system date/time and download stored data by saving them in one or more formats. At the end of the installation procedure, start 3DOM program from LSI LASTEM programs list. The aspect of the main window is as below:...
R-Log – Quick Start 3DOM program uses the Italian language in case of Italian version of the operating system; in case of a different language of the operating system, the program 3DOM uses the English language. To force the use of the Italian or the English language, whatever may be the language used by the operating system, the file “C:\Programmi\LSILastem\3DOM\bin\3Dom.exe.config”...
Adding the new instrument to 3DOM program Connect your PC to serial port 1 through the supplied ELA105 serial cable. Start 3DOM program from the LSI LASTEM programs list, select Instrument-> New…and follow the guided procedure. Set as communication parameters: Cod.
R-Log – Quick Start Type of communication: Serial; Serial port: <indicate the PC port connected with ELA105 serial cable >; Bps speed: 57600; Once the instrument has been recognized, additional data can be entered, such as User-defined name and Description.

(selecting it among the available ones) and enters the measures in the Measures List Panel. On the contrary, if the sensor is not LSI LASTEM or doesn’t appear in the 3DOM sensors registry, or you want to connect it to the datalogger in single ended mode (in this case refer to the instrument user manual), press the New button to add a measure, entering all the parameters requested by the program (name, measure unit, elaborations etc.).

R-Log – Quick Start Besides, if a measure is used by a derived quantity, the icon changes: The measures order can be changed according to your requirements by pressing the Sort button. It is however advisable to keep coupled the quantities that need to be acquired together (for ex.: wind speed and direction) and give priority to the measures with a fast acquisition rate, moving them on top of the list.

R-Log – Quick Start To access radio communication parameters, proceed as follows: select Serial Communication Port 2 in General Parameters section; select Instrument Network Address and enter an unequivocal value higher than 10, since lower values have already been assigned to Master and S-Log devices; ...
If some measures have no connection assigned, a possible cause could be that the measure was created without using the LSI LASTEM sensors registry. It is recommended to print the document in order to be able to use it later when connecting the probes to the datalogger.

NOTE The voltage drop resistance indicated by Rx is used to report a voltage signal from the sensor-generated current. 3DOM program provides a list of settings for LSI LASTEM sensors, including some models with current output; for these models, always use voltage drop resistances of 50 Ω to obtain voltage signals up to 1 V.
4.2. Saving data on a Gidas database Note To store data on LSI LASTEM Gidas database for SQL Server 2005, you need to install the GidasViewer program: it provides for the installation of the database and requests the activation license for each instrument. Gidas database needs a SQL Server 2005 installed in the PC: if the user hasn’t got this program installed, the free “Express”...
