Changing Data Logger Transmission Interval
The Transmit Interval in the Remote Device Configuration menu determines how often the data logger will power-up its telemetry to contact the WQData LIVE Data Center.
On each transmission the data logger will : (1) Upload all new logged data and (2) Process all settings changes listed in the Command Queue.
- Navigate to the ADMIN | Settings tab found at the top of the project dashboard.
- Click on the Device Remote Configuration tab. Under this tab is a list of all the sites and data loggers within the project.
- Select the logger that requires a transmission interval change. The Basic Remote Device Configuration menu will appear.
- In the Transmit Interval section, enter the desired frequency in the ‘New Value’ column.
- Intervals are entered in minutes with an accepted value range of 5 to a maximum of 1440 minutes (1 day)
- Transmit frequency changes will impact system power consumption. Verify the selected value is sustainable given the telemtry type and power source prior to adjusting the interval for solar charged systems.
- Scroll to the bottom of the menu and click SAVE.

Prompt confirming that the indicated changes have been processed and will be applied the next time the logger contacts WQData LIVE.
- Following the data logger’s next transmission to WQData LIVE, the transmission change will be applied and the ‘Current Value’ field for the Transmit Interval will update.
