Common Tasks

4.2.1 Configuring the Em5b
The Em5b does not require any programming. It does have several
parameters that control identity and function. Here is a brief de-
scription of each.
Device Name: Each ECH2O device should have a unique name.
The default name is the unit's serial number. You can change this
to any legal name you want. A legal device name uses upper and
lower case letters, numbers, underscores hyphens, and most upper-
ascii characters. Spaces and most punctuation are not legal name
characters.
Device Serial Number: When set in the factory, this is a read-
only value.
Measurement Interval: ECH2O loggers allow you to choose the
measurement interval from one minute to one day.
Note: A measurement interval of zero (0) stops the logger from mak-
ing measurements.
Port Sensors: Em50 and Em5b loggers require you to identify the
sensor type for each of the five sensor ports.
To change a parameter:
1. Connect to your device.
2. Change one or more parameters.
3. Click "apply" to send the parameter changes to your device.
NOTE: While the Em5b is connected to ECH2O Utility, no sensor
readings are collected or stored. Be sure to unplug the RS-232 cable
from Port 1 to enable the Em5b to make measurements.
