Tier 1 Sensors
These sensors will be automatically detected by the X2. If multiple sensors are connected to the same logger, they must be addressed uniquely.

Tier 2 Sensors
These sensors require limited setup prior to connection. The scope of this varies by sensor type but typically includes setting up a template, configuring the device or selecting the parameter output. Often these tasks are done with a separate PC program provided by the sensor manufacturer.

Tier 3 Sensors
These sensors are not commonly supported by the X2, but can be added through the creation of a user-defined script. The script is written in Lua and utilizes NexSens created functions to simplify programming. As long as the sensor communicates using SDI-12, RS-485, or RS-232 and can be powered from a 12V supply, it should be compatible with the X2.
