If 'Cannot decode sensor data' screen is displayed it indicates that data is being received from the sensor,
however the Spooler cannot decode the data. This may happen briefly as the system is powered up, it may be
caused by intermittent contact somewhere, or if the Spooler is not configured correctly to match the attached
sensor. Verify the Spooler configuration matches the sensor on the Setup screen.
Always ensure all users connected to the Spooler network ensure they are monitoring the main status
screen by clicking 'Done' after making changes on the status screen. If different users are both changing items on
the setup screen the Spooler settings may flip back and forth between different users' settings, so disrupting
good sensor readings.
9.3. Spooler battery recommendations
Li-ion batteries have become very popular in recent years. They are widely available and sold under many
different brands. The most popular application is for operating electronic cigarette 'vaporizers' so many Li-ion
batteries are sold for that purpose. Vaporizers however require very large currents, often 10 Amps or more and
typically run for a short time so most Li-ion batteries are designed for that purpose. Batteries designed for
vaporizers need to have very high output current capability, but generally have a limited capacity (mAh).
A short circuit again indicates a problem somewhere in the
system which may be at the surface or downhole. Turn off the
Spooler before trying to locate the problem.
