The time may be initially set using the Set Clock button on the diagnostic tab to
ensure it is close to the time desired, otherwise, the time will be UTC until it
does the clock sync at the next transmission.

Other Setup
These fields relate to general station setup.
7.3.1.1.
Station Name
User set identifier for the station.
7.3.1.2.
Recording
Recording is the act of collecting and logging sensor data. If recording is off, X-
Link is idle and will not make any automatic measurements. If recording is on, X-
Link is active and collecting sensor data according to its setup.
LinkComm provides a button to start recording, or stop recording. To change
recording via command line, type RECORDING = ON or RECORDING = OFF.
7.3.1.3.
Log Daily Values
X-Link can log diagnostic information at 23:59:59 each day. That information
consists of battery voltage and telemetry accounting, such as the number of
transmissions made and the number of bytes transmitted. To prevent this data
from being logged, disable the
Log Daily Values
setting located on the Other
Setup tab of LinkComm.
7.3.1.4.
Auto Output
When X-Link has
Auto Output
mode enabled (via front panel, Station
Setup>Other Settings>Auto Output, command line AUTO OUTPUT), it will
automatically send data out on the USB port. Using LinkComm's Terminal
window, type EXIT to leave command line mode and to capture the auto output.
X-Link will output data of every active measurement when it is measured
according to the user set
Measurement Interval
and
Time
. For example, if you set
up a battery voltage reading to be made once every minute, auto-output will
place fresh battery data on the port once a minute. If multiple measurements
are active, they will all be output every time new data is available for any
measurement.
The data output is ASCII. This is an example of the output for two
measurements:
46.3, 33.2
46.3, 33.0
46.4, 32.1
46.4, 30.0
