Tip:

 

When

 

a

 

sampling

 

interval

 

is

 

configured,

 

the

 

station

 

will

 

take

 

multiple

 

measurements

 

within

 

a

 

given

 

logging

 

interval

 

and

 

then

 

average

 

them

 

together

 

to

 

create

 

a

 

single

 

logged

 

data

 

point.

 

This

 

is

 

only

 

an

 

option

 

for

 

the

 

following

 

smart

 

sensors

 

that

 

support

 

measurement

 

averaging:

 

temperature

 

(S

TMB

M0xx),

 

PAR

 

(S

LIA

M003),

 

solar

 

radiation

 

(S

LIB

M003),

 

barometric

 

pressure

 

(S

BPA

CM10

 

and

 

S

BPB

CM50),

 

4

20mA

 

input

 

(S

CIA

CM14),

 

12

bit

 

voltage

 

input

 

(S

VIA

CM14),

 

and

 

FlexSmart

 

TRMS

 

module

 

(S

FS

TRMSA

D).

 

Disable

 

the

 

sampling

 

interval

 

if

 

none

 

of

 

your

 

smart

 

sensors

 

support

 

measurement

 

averaging

 

to

 

avoid

 

unnecessary

 

drain

 

on

 

the

 

battery

 

power.
