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 […]

S::CAN UV-Vis Spectrophotometer X2 Integration Guide

The S::CAN UV-VIS Spectrophotometer is a submersible UV-Vis spectrophotometer that analyzes spectral data to provide measurements for the following: nitrate (NO3–), nitrite (NO2–), chemical oxygen demand (COD), biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), total suspended solids (TSS), dissolved hydrogen sulfide (H2S), and many more. The sensor is compatible with the X2 data logger via the Modbus-RTU communication […]

Convert PSI Pressure Output to Level Output in Feet in iChart

The Seametrics PT-12 Submersible Pressure Sensor records the pressure exerted on its internal diaphragm from the surrounding environment and can convert this signal into a level measurement. The X2 data logger script has a built-in conversion factor that outputs the data in both pressure (PSI) and level (ft.) However, for the iSIC and iSIC-V2 data […]

Reprogram a Data Logger with an Existing iChart Project

Open the iChart project. Before reprogramming, ensure the desired logger has the correct Communication Properties in iChart by right-clicking on the logger and selecting Property. Ensure the iSIC address is correct. If a direct connection is applied, change the Connect Through option to Direct. If the connection is over cellular, change the Connect Through to Internet […]

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 […]
