COM settings
Once the software has been installed, the
COM settings
may need to be configured
for the logger, radio modem and GPS unit (if
available). Normally these settings are
detected automatically; however, if
automatic detection fails they can also be
defined manually.
COM settings
can be
found as an option in the
Configuration
menu. The
COM settings
should only need
to be set once.
If a radio modem is used for communication
between the logger and host PC,
Radio
Modems used
should be checked and an
appropriate delay time specified – an estimate of the transmission delays in the
modems.
The delay time is used to compensate for the transmission delay inherent in the
RF system. It will vary depending on the logger deployment conditions. You
may need to do some experimenting in order to find the best value. Contact
RBR if you need assistance determining this value.
Real-time limits
During real-time data collection, readings are plotted on
the graphical display in a rolling fashion, with the most
recent data plotted on the right. A fixed scale is used for
the values collected from each sensor so that the user is
not confused by any re-scaling that might occur when
new readings arrive. The
Real-time Limits Control
Panel
allows the user to define the scale of these
values.
Language resources
RBR offers Traditional Chinese language support in that when accepted, an
additional ‘.chn.txt’ file is provided in the ‘dat’ directory. This file contains the file
header saved in the regular file in traditional Chinese characters.
