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, […]

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 […]
CONNECT Setup
CONNECT is a software utility that enables users to interface directly with any NexSens X-Series data logger using a UW6-USB-485P-DC cable. It supports a growing number of diagnostic and configuration tools to facilitate system setup and troubleshooting. Software Installation The CONNECT software requires a Windows-based device running Windows 10 or later. Fill out the form […]
Create a Custom Dashboard
Custom WQData LIVE Dashboards are user-configurable displays to show the most important project information directly on the main screen when a Project is opened. A default Project Dashboard displays on the main screen upon Project creation. To replace with a custom Dashboard, follow the steps below. Navigate to the Project Dashboard drop-down menu located at […]
Dashboard Panels
A WQData LIVE Dashboard contains multiple editable and interactive panels that can be adjusted to optimize display of project information and data. These panels provide project administrators and collaborators with the following: Information regarding the project overview and scope Site information Device and sensor parameters and measurements Information regarding contributors to the project *Note: Before […]
Setup Iridium (SBD) Data Account
All Iridium-enabled X-series loggers must have an active SBD (short-burst data) account in order to send measurement data to WQData LIVE. While NexSens Technology can configure and manage Iridium (SBD) data account plans, users may prefer to set up their own data services. Determine System Data Usage Requirements The following variables affect the amount of […]
