WQData LIVE can run a remote sensor detection on an X2 data logger without the need to connect with a configuration cable. Before proceeding, reference the X2 Sensor Detection overview and the Auto-Detection Troubleshooting guide. The detection process will permanently alter the X2 data logger programming. Only attempt sensor detection when adding a new sensor […]

Set Transmission Alerts
Alerts can be configured to notify users when an X2, G2, or iSIC-V2 data logger has missed one or more expected data transmissions to WQData LIVE. Navigate to the WQData LIVE Dashboard for the site in question. Locate the Last Contact Time parameter field for the data logger. Click the notification triangle to bring […]
Run Sensor Detection
Once the sensor script list is configured in accordance with the sensors that will be connected to an X-Series logger, the CONNECT software can be used to run the sensor detection process. Before proceeding, reference the Sensor Detection overview and the Auto-Detection Troubleshooting guide. These provide a brief explanation of the logger’s sensor auto-detection process, […]
X2 Sensor Detection
Traditionally, complex programming software is required to configure an environmental data logger. The user must indicate the communication protocols, sensor addresses, measurement commands, data format, and power requirements of all connected sensors. Contrarily, X2 data loggers use sensor detection to simplify the programming requirements for environmental measurement systems. At startup, the X2 automatically scans each […]
Sensor(s) Not Found During X-Series Logger Auto-Detection
If an X-Series data logger fails to detect a connected sensor following the completion of the auto-detection process, verify the following: Check for proper wiring of sensor signals and seating of all cable connections. Verify that the script for the sensor has been developed, loaded onto the logger, and enabled to run. Confirm the required […]
Logger Programming
The stored sensor configuration on an X-Series data logger can be erased if necessary. Once cleared, the logger will not read from any sensors until a new sensor auto-detection is completed. Connect an X-Series logger to a PC and launch the CONNECT software. In the CONFIG tab, test the connection by reading the RTC clock […]
Configure Sensor Scripts
NexSens X-Series data loggers include a sensor library of common environmental sensors. These can be selected from a predefined list of scripts or created within the CONNECT software. If a new script is created, it must be transferred to the data logger. Before running a sensor detection, the user must enable the scripts that will […]
Enable Cellular Communication on an X-Series Data Logger
To enable cellular communication on an X-Series data logger, the user must configure the Packet Data Protocol (PDP) context settings in CONNECT software. The PDP context includes three key parameters: Local Context Identification (cid) PDP Type Access Point Name (APN) These settings define the local cellular carrier (e.g., Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile) used by the modem […]
Direct Data Upload
Upload data from any X2 data logger to an Excel-compatible .csv file via direct connection using the CONNECT software and a UW6-USB-485P cable. Upload Data Manually from an X2 Logger 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 […]
Sync X2 Logger Clock
X2 systems with active telemetry will have their clocks synced automatically once per week. Any other X2 system that falls into one or more of the following categories should have their clocks synced manually prior to deployment, or periodically during use (as required), to prevent the escalation of clock drift: Direct (no active telemetry) X2 […]
