1. Unpack and connect your sensor

Unpack your sensor and connect it to power & comms lines. You can do this using either the Subconn connector or the pigtail cable.

The sensor can be easily powered via a battery or through ANB’s DTU (Data Transfer Unit) to a USB port on your computer or laptop.

2. Download ANB_utils

We recommend you download anb_utils, our powerful utility software designed specifically to interface seamlessly with ANB sensors. Alternatively, you can communicate via a serial terminal program to send commands, configure settings, and retrieve data from the sensor, with support for both direct command-based control and Modbus protocols.

3. Check to see if the firmware needs updating

ANB_utils will tell you if your sensor is running the latest firmware. Updating it is a simple process that can be done through anb_utils.

4. Choose measurement settings

Once connected, you can set up your sensor’s measurement settings in anb_utils based on your deployment needs.

5. Start scanning

After confirming your settings, you’re ready to start scanning.

6. Access your data

To view your data, you can either:

  • Live Data: use the Graphical User Interface (GUI), available for download at anbsensors.com, to view your data in real time.
  • Post-Deployment: Download the data as a CSV file from the sensor, or back up your data to the ANB Cloud. This will provide you with a unique URL where you can access & share your sensor data.
