Move Data Loggers Between Sites
Owners of devices on WQData LIVE may move data loggers between sites as necessary. All device information and collected data will move to the new site. Before moving a logger, it is required that the logger is removed or “unassigned” from its current site. Removing / “Unassigning” a Device To remove / “unassign” a […]
Read/Start an X2 Sensor Measurement
A real-time X2 sensor measurement may be viewed or started using the data acquisition tab (DAQ) in the CONNECT software. This is often a useful tool to use during system configuration or troubleshooting. Remember that many sensors may take several seconds or minutes to complete their measurement, so allow ample time for the measurement cycle […]
Configure Iridium X2 Logger on WQData LIVE
Once an Iridium SBD account is activated and an email server is configured, X2 Iridium data loggers can be configured to post data to WQData LIVE. To configure Iridium X2 logger telemetry settings: Navigate to the Advanced Device Remote Configuration Tool within the administrator settings.

WQData LIVE Direct FTP XML Data Format
The following is the XML file structure for an X2 data logger system that can be utilized for direct FTP. Upon request, NexSens Technology can provide the user with a list of the logger parameter IDs required for parsing the data into the desired format. WQData LIVE XML Data Format XML format data […]
Set Log and Selective Upload Intervals
The X2 allows users to log data to its internal memory at a certain log interval but transmit at a different, less frequent, interval. This feature is useful, for example, to reduce system data usage and telemetry on-time. Users can then periodically access and download the data directly from the unit when on site using […]
Set Transmit Flags and Start Time/Interval
Transmit flags control whether or not a parameter is transmitted to WQData LIVE. Transmit flags are set to enabled or disabled for all X2 diagnostic and detected sensor parameters through CONNECT software. This feature helps reduce the overall size of a data transmission, limiting it to only the necessary diagnostic or sensor parameters. Conveniently, the […]
X2 Selective Data Upload
The X2 is capable of logging data to its internal memory at a certain log interval but transmitting it at a different interval. This feature is useful for reducing the system’s data usage and telemetry on-time (thereby reducing the power consumption) but still monitoring system status remotely. During site visits, users can then periodically access […]
Set Continuous SDI-12 Mode on Vaisala Weather Station
*For connection with iSIC data loggers The only manual configuration that needs to be made to the WXT53x stations is the enabling of Continuous SDI-12. These WXT 530-series stations (as of mid-2019) have an issue with their Native (default) SDI-12 mode. During precipitation events, they can fail to wake up from sleep mode and are […]
Setup Gmail Account to Allow WQData LIVE Access (Iridium)
X2 Iridium satellite data loggers transmit data messages via the Iridium network to an email server. The data messages are then downloaded from the email server to the WQData LIVE web datacenter. In order to facilitate this process, NexSens hosts a secure Gmail account as a medium to store and upload data to WQData LIVE. […]
