Setting Zero Offset on mV-485 Adapter

For many sensors with voltage outputs (e.g. 0-5 VDC), an output of 0 mV equates to a reference value of 0. However, some sensors, such as Turner Designs Cyclops-7 fluorometers, may still output a small voltage when placed into a standard with a reference value of 0 (e.g. DI water). Since this voltage is very small, […]

G2/V2 Data Logger Terminal Commands

All G2 (G2-RAIN & G2-EXO) and V2-series (iSIC-V2 & SDL-V2) data loggers respond to common commands that can be sent through a hyper terminal via a NexSens UW6-USB-485P USB cable. These commands provide the internal information programmed on the data loggers, enable communication with WQData LIVE, and allow detection and direct communication with connected sensors.  Before […]
