Date Range Configuration
Date Range Configuration allows for setup of data reports with data from a set time range. Time ranges can be fixed over a certain period, or they can be customized to pull the latest data. Fixed Option The Fixed option provides a specified time and date for the report. Note: Data will always load from […]
Data Export: CSV Format
The CSV format is one of four options within the Data Export Tool. This option is a delimited text file that uses commas to separate values and can be opened and manipulated using spreadsheet applications such as Excel. To create a Data Export with CSV format: Navigate to the Data Export Tool and choose […]
Data Export: GLOSXML Format
The GLOSXML format is one of four options within the Data Export tool. This option follows the standard data format recognized by the Great Lakes Observing System. To create a Data Export with GLOSXML format: Navigate to the Data Export Tool and then choose the GLOSXML format. The GLOSXML format must include a station […]

The following list contains descriptions for the Predefined Tag names under the data export tool using the GLOSXML or NDBCXML format. Name Description atmp1 Air temperature (deg. C) baro1 Air pressure adjusted to sea level, primary sensor (hPa) baro2 Air pressure adjusted to sea level, secondary sensor dewpt1 Dew point temperature (deg. C) do YSI […]
Temporarily Set iSIC Logger Secondary Baud Rate
The iChart software contains a terminal emulator used to communicate with sensors via serial output. Follow the process below to temporarily change the terminal, or secondary, baud rate to communicate with a wide range of sensors through an iSIC data logger. WARNING: This procedure should only be conducted while in direct connection with the iSIC data […]
Enable Datalog on Turner Designs Sensors
The following information describes the process for enabling data output on a Turner C6 sensor. Enabling data output is required for communication with any NexSens data loggers. Connect to the C6 sensor using the C-Soft software. Follow the information below, acquired from Section 3.5 of the Turner Designs C6 Multi-Sensor Platform User Guide. […]
Check Resistance on a UW-FWP
If a sensor wired to a UW-FWP does not communicate with a data logger or begins to display intermittent readings, it is recommended to ohm out the pins on the connector. As communication between water quality sensors and data loggers requires low resistance for proper transmission, ensuring the UW-FWP resistance is within NexSens specifications will […]
TS210/T-Node FR Sensor Drift
As with all electronics, sensor drift may occur in the NexSens TS210/T-Node FR temperature sensors over time due to aging and exposure to environmental conditions. This drift has been quantified in the laboratory, as shown in the chart below. Temperature is recorded based on the electrical resistance (ohms) through the sensor’s titanium thermistor. As the […]
Public Portal Data API
The Public Portal Data API is designed to pull data from the WQData LIVE My SQL database and directly feed that to the WQDataLIVE public portal display. Learn how to enable and configure the public portal for your project by reading the Configure Public Portal article. Limitations The following limitations occur with this API: WQDataLIVE […]
