Operating the Sensor

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. Note: this updates when the sensor is scanning.

The following options are available:

Start

Press start to commence scanning.

Allow the sensor to run for approximately 30 minutes to reach measurement stabilisation to ensure accurate measurements. If you are updating or redeploying a legacy sensor, the stabilisation period may exceed 30 minutes.

Stop

Press stop to tell the sensor to stop scanning.

⚡ If the sensor is configured with an interval delay, it will require a Wake to re-enable communication.

Abrade command

Press abrade to tell the sensor that the transducer has been abraded. Look out for the transducer status in the green Status box – this will tell you if your sensor needs abrading.

⚡ If the sensor is configured with an interval delay, it will require a Wake to re-enable communication.

Reboot command

Press reboot to save the current settings and restart the sensor so it is ready to run with the saved configurations.

⚡ If the sensor is configured with an interval delay, it will require a Wake to re-enable communication.

Wake command

If the sensor is configured with an interval delay, it enters sleep mode between measurements. While asleep, it cannot receive commands. Press Wake to re-enable communication.

Log output

This allows you to see the raw output log of the sensor and download CSV data files directly.

The limits set will show as green lines on the graph, and the alert button will appear if your data is outside them.

tip

There are two buttons next to the charts that let you zoom in on the data and enlarge the graphs for better visibility.
