Label
User set name given to measurement, up to 7 bytes. This is used to identify and
differentiate measurements. This value will be placed in the log each time a
measurement is made, so that changing a label will not affect previously logged
data. Example labels: AT, Stage, Baro, Precip, Batt.
Measurement Type
This field defines what kind of measurement to make. The available options are
• Precip Accumulation
• Precip Rate
• SDI-12
• Analog
• Battery Voltage
• Wind
• Digital
• Meta
For details on each of the types, see the section
Measurement Interval
Measurement Time
Measurement interval and time dictate when the measurement will be made. The
interval controls how often the measurement is made, and the time controls when
the measurement is started.
• E.g. time 00:00:00 interval 00:10:00
• E.g. time 00:00:30 interval 00:05:00
Averaging Time
Sampling Interval
Subsamples
MONITOR is capable of collecting multiple samples and averaging them in order
to produce a measurement result. Averaging is useful for measuring changing
conditions, such as wind and water level. For example, correctly measuring the
level of choppy water requires that wave action be cancelled. That can be
accomplished by averaging over several minutes.
• 00:10:00 data measured and logged
• 00:20:00 data measured and logged
• 00:30:00 data measured and logged
• and every ten minutes afterwards...
• 00:00:30 data measured and logged
• 00:05:30 data measured and logged
• 00:10:30 data measured and logged
• and every five minutes afterwards...
