The ‘buffer size does not match’ error is output in the diagnostic window of iChart during an attempted data upload when the programmed configuration of the iSIC data logger does not match the configuration of the selected logger in the iChart project. This typically occurs when: A configuration change has been made to the […]

Program an iSIC Data Logger
The Setup Device Wizard facilitates the creation and management of an iChart project file. Through the wizard, users can program iSIC data loggers with the appropriate sensor configuration. To access this within an iChart project, navigate to Project | Setup Device Wizard Step 1 – Site Setup Create and name site(s) for the data loggers […]
‘Unexpected File Format’ Error
An ‘unexpected file format’ error in iChart indicates that the project (.icr) file attempting to be opened has an incompatibility with the current version of the software: The .icr file was created with a newer version of iChart than the version of the software trying to open it (most common). The properties of the .icr […]

How To Update the NexSens iChart Software
Navigate to Help | Check for Updates within iChart. If an update is available – a confirmation prompt will appear requesting permission to proceed. Click Yes to begin downloading the update. When the upgrade is finished downloading, click OK and restart iChart as requested. The installation process will begin when iChart restarts. If […]
Adjust Communication Timings
When using a third party USB to serial adapter it may be necessary to alter the communication timing between iChart and the data logger. 1. Open iChart with the current project. 2. Hold down CTRL, ALT, and T to bring up the Communication Timing menu. 3. Select NexSens DN Sensors from the Device field. 4. […]
Run Remote Sensor Detection
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 […]
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 […]
Reset to Factory Defaults
Through CONNECT, an X2 data logger can have all of its configuration settings reset to factory defaults. This will affect the logger name, log and transmit intervals, parameter upload/transmit flags etc., but will not alter any stored data or sensor programming. Connect the X2 logger to a PC and launch the CONNECT software. Test connection […]
