Graphical User Interface
GUI Set-up
Once you have set up your sensor in anb_utils, download the latest anb_gui and unzip to it's own directory.
Ensure you extract the executable to its own directory. Do not run the executable directly from the zip file, as this may cause issues during operation.
To over-ride the default properties, create a file called anb.properties in the directory (using notepad or similar).
The anb.properties file can contain these properties:
listen_port=
baud_rate=
make sure the file is saved as anb.properties and not anb.properties.txt
Your default browser will open with your hard coded baud rate and/or listen port.
User Guide
Select your com port and the sensor details (at time of power up) will load.The current status of the sensor and transducer is given in the STATUS box. This shows green if all is well and red if action is required. It then gives you pH, Temperature, Salinity and Conductivity plots, along with the most recent output in the coloured boxes on the right.
Log Output - allows you to see the sensors output log.
User Interface Settings - allows you to choose which metrics you want to display and set low and high limits to create an alert.
After changing the User Interface Settings, please refresh the browser to reset the graphs.
The limits set will show as green lines on the graph, and the alert button will appear if your data is outside them.
There are two buttons next to the charts that let you zoom in on the data and enlarge the graphs for better visibility.
