Sutron Corporation X-Link Operations & Maintenance Manual, Rev 1.63 5/24/2016 pg. 69
Names and descriptions of each measurement setup field are described in the
following sections.
7.1.1.1.
Active
Will X-Link make this measurement? If a measurement is not active, it will not be
measured or logged. Making a measurement active is the first step in setup. If a
measurement is made inactive, that setup for that measurement is not lost.
7.1.1.2.
Label
User set name given to measurement, up to 7 bytes. This is used to identify and
differentiate measurements. This value will be placed in the log each time a
measurement is made, so that changing a label will not affect previously logged
data. Example labels: AT, Stage, Baro, Precip, Batt.
7.1.1.3.
Right Digits
The number of digits shown after the decimal place is referred to as the right
digits. To make the measurement read 10.12 rather than 10.12345, set the right
digits to 2. Note that X-Link will round to the requested number of digits
before
logging the data.
7.1.1.4.
Measurement Interval
Measurement interval is simply the time between scheduled measurements.
See Measurement Time.
7.1.1.5.
Measurement Time
Measurement interval and time dictate when the measurement will be made.
The interval controls how often the measurement is made, and the time controls
when the measurement is started.
Example 1 (The measurement is logged every 10 minutes at 0 seconds past
the minute): time 00:00:00 interval 00:10:00
o
00:10:00 data measured and logged
o
00:20:00 data measured and logged
o
00:30:00 data measured and logged
o
and every 10 minutes afterwards…
Example 2 (The measurement is taken and logged every 5 minutes at 30
