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 […]
Generate Generic NMEA 0183 Script
NMEA 0138 sensors not already listed in the X2 sensor script library can be configured to communicate with the X2 by generating a generic NMEA 0138 script. Connect the X2 logger to a PC and launch the CONNECT software. Test connection by reading the RTC clock of the logger in the CONFIG tab. On the […]
Which X2-Configured Airmar Parameters Require a Satellite Connection?
