Setup For The Twr-2050 Logger - RBR 1050 Series User Manual

Setup for the TWR-2050 logger

The setup of TWR-2050 loggers is slightly more complex, however, the RBR
Windows Software produces similar windows that include the added parameters
as follows:
The TWR Setup screen replaces the 'Sampling period' information with the four
parameters: Sampling period for tide, Rate for both tide and Wave Data,
Averaging period for Tide and Wave settings. Clicking on any of their related
buttons moves the user to the TWR Tide and Wave modes configuration
window.
Sample period for Tide defines the interval for collecting tide data. A tide
sample consists of a temperature
reading and an averaged pressure
reading which has been averaged
over the Averaging time for Tide.
The Rate for both Tide and Wave
Data defines the sampling rate for
pressure samples used in the tide
averages and in the wave bursts.
The Wave settings define both the
number of samples to be taken in a
wave burst and the interval for
collecting wave bursts.
In the example screen shown,
averaged tide samples are to be
taken every ten minutes, wave
bursts of 512 samples are to be
taken every 30 minutes, and the
samples are captured at a rate of
4Hz. For 512 samples this means
that the burst will take 512/4
seconds = 2 min 8 sec. The tide
averaging of 1 minute will average
240 readings. (1 minute = 60
seconds @ 4 readings per second).
