Request a Live Reading
Sampling can be manually triggered through the X2 Embedded Web. Establish a connection to the X2’s direct Wi-Fi network. The home screen of the X2 Embedded web will display the results of the last sample taken from all diagnostic and sensor parameters for the system in addition to counting down the next scheduled reading. It […]
Real-Time Text Message Alerts on WQData LIVE
Quick Alerts, Alarms, and Rain Alerts configured through WQData LIVE can distribute the same email notification messages to a mobile phone as an SMS text message. Note: These text alerts do not use a true SMS service. As a result, depending on the ISP, location, and network congestion, message delivery may be delayed significantly. In […]
Data Sharing Options
There are multiple ways to share project data uploaded to WQData LIVE, each with different levels of access, customizability, and simplicity. Collaborator Account Any individual who creates an account on WQData LIVE can be granted collaborator access by the project owner or an administrator. Collaborators who sign in will be able to view the main […]
Configure Public Portal
Project administrators can enable and configure a Public Portal, a unique page with a simplified live data display accessible through a public URL. This is useful for organizations wishing to share basic data with the general public and spread project awareness. Accessing the Public Portal Click on the ADMIN tab at the top of […]
Sync Data Logger Clock Using Embedded Web
A smartphone or other mobile device with an internet browser can be used to update an X2’s internal clock via the Embedded Web interface. This is particularly useful for land-based Iridium X2 systems, as satellite telemetry precludes the possibility of syncing time accurately. Establish a connection to the X2’s direct Wi-Fi network. Access the main […]
Queue Sensor Auto-Detection
X2 data loggers will automatically scan for connected sensors each time power is applied until one or more external sensors have been identified. The addition of new sensors or changes made to an existing sensor’s configuration require a re-detection that can be queued through the Embedded Web. Caution: DO NOT attempt a sensor re-detection in […]
Configure Advanced Network Settings
If the Advanced X2 Network Settings are left vacant or set to 0.0.0.0 values, the logger will use DHCP to automatically request its connection settings (IP address, Subnet Mask, Gateway, DNS Server) each time it transmits data. If the local network configuration does not have access to a DHCP server, or IT security restrictions require […]
Configure Network Settings
Wi-Fi only models of the X2 data logger can be configured to upload to the WQData LIVE datacenter over a local wireless network. To configure network settings: Establish a connection to the X2’s direct Wi-Fi network. Access the main menu by clicking the menu icon in the top right. Navigate to Settings | Network. […]
Adjust Auto-Report Generation Offset
Automatically generated reports from WQData LIVE often need to have their start times offset to accommodate for the upload delay (due to the latency of sensor sample acquisition and data logger telemetry connection processes) on the final data point. If no offsets are entered, reports that are delivered may be missing the most recent data […]
