2.4 Software
2.4.1 tensioVIEW
The Windows software tensioVIEW
USB converter) automatically detects all tensioLINK devices linked
within a bus network. The software is used for the configuration of
these devices and for displaying data.
®
tensioVIEW
shows for example the settings of a VS vacuum station
or T8 readings from the recent days.
When used in a laboratory no other device is required beside
tensioLINK, tensioVIEW and PC to have a complete data acquisition
system. Readings are displayed and stored by the PC directly.
2.5 Sensor logging
UMS Tensiometer T8 and TS1 have an internal non-volatile data
memory. When connected to a power supply readings of soil water
tension and soil temperature are taken and stored in selectable
intervals of 1 minute to 24 hours. The T8 has a capacity of 4000
readings which, with an interval of 1 hours, is enough for 166 days of
measurements.
In this mode of operation the power consumption is very low, so
®
(supplied with the tensioLINK-
modest battery capacities are
sufficient
measuring periods.
To run stand-alone sensors a
battery box is available as an
accessory. The weatherproof
box is fitted with a tensioLINK
plug for uploading the data
stored in the sensor.
