For special applications, such as - for example – the use of specific communication devices (modem, communicators, Ethernet/RS232 converters etc.) or where the implementation of actuation logics or the setup of calculated measurements is requested, please refer to the E-Log and 3DOM software User Manuals are available on www.lsi-lastem.com...
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: 3DOM program uses the Italian language in case of Italian version of the operating system;...
2.2.1. Starting the instrument All E-Log models can be powered through an external power supply (12 Vcc) or through a terminal board. Refer to the table below for connection to the instrument input plugs and to the output plugs of sensors or electric devices.
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: •...
It is recommended to create a new configuration starting from the basic one or from one of the available models. In the first case, proceed as follows: ➢ Start the 3DOM program from the LSI LASTEM program list; ➢ Select your instrument serial number in the Instruments panel;...

3DOM contains a registry of LSI LASTEM sensors where each sensor is suitably configured to be acquired by E-Log. If the sensor was provided by LSI LASTEM, simply press the Add button, carry out the sensor research by setting the sensor commercial code or by searching it in its category and press the OK button.

E-Log – Quick start • Calculated measure: 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.
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.

3.2. 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”...
