Logging Page The Logging page allows the user to access the historical data by selecting the desired sensors and time range to be graphed. Selected sensor values are logged into the data file at a rate of one point per minute. Please note that although data is logged once per minute, all sensor data used in the real time display and alarm functions is read at least once every 5 seconds for internal sensors and once every 30 seconds for external sensors. -
Page 13: Display Page
Display Page The Display page allows the user to assign friendly names to internal and attached sensors as well as change the default temperature unit of measure for sensors. The display page also allows the user to select between the default and classic web page layouts. The default interface displays a vertical menu bar to the left of the main window, while the classic interface displays a horizontal menu bar across the top of the screen. -
