Real-Time Weather Measurements The Gill MaxiMet GMX-Series Weather Stations measure a host of atmospheric and environmental parameters. The sensors are compatible with NexSens X-Series data loggers via the SDI-12 communication protocol and sensor interface. A user-generated or pre-defined script on NexSens X-Series data loggers can detect, log, and transmit all parameters output by the weather […]

Running a Sensor Re-Detection
During initial setup, when a sensor auto-detection is run, WQData LIVE receives an XML file that defines the logger’s sensor configuration (sensor ID, parameter IDs, units, etc.). This configuration is saved on the backend and used to process future data transmissions. When a new sensor detection is run to add or remove sensors/parameters, the XML […]
How to calculate application-specific data storage on X2 data loggers?
All X2 data loggers include a 256 MB internal SD card. Internal processes account for ~56 MB, leaving roughly 200 MB for data storage. Most applications will have years of available storage; however, this primarily depends on the logging frequency and the number of collected parameters. Below is an example calculation to estimate the number […]
Seametrics CT2X Logger X2 Integration Guide
Real-Time Water Quality Measurements The Seametrics CT2X Logger is a conductivity and temperature sensor with built-in data logging. The sensor is compatible with NexSens X-Series data loggers using the SDI-12 communication protocol and sensor interface. A pre-defined script on NexSens X-Series data loggers is able to detect, log, and transmit all parameters available on the […]
MCBH & MCIL Connector Operation & Maintenance
Multiple NexSens data logger models and CB-MCL wet-mate lids include male and female Micro-Circular Bulkhead (MCBH) connectors compatible with Micro-Circular In-line (MCIL) sensor connectors. These connectors are designed for use in wet conditions (not while submerged) as they force out water as connectors are mated. Like other connector types, MCBH and MCIL connectors still require […]
In-Situ AquaTroll X-Series Integration Guide
Real-Time Water Quality Measurements The In-Situ Series of Multi-Parameter Water Quality Sondes (AquaTroll 200/400/500/600) are compatible with NexSens X-Series data loggers using the Modbus-RTU communication protocol and RS-485 sensor interface. A pre-defined script on X-Series data loggers is able to detect, log and transmit all parameters available on all models of In-Situ sondes. Parameter data […]
Replace G2-RAIN Siphoning Bucket
The G2-RAIN has two versions of the siphoning bucket depending on the time of purchase. For all models purchased before 2021, the G2-RAIN will have the siphoning bucket manufactured by the Rickly Hydrological Company. Newer G2-RAIN models have the siphoning bucket manufactured by Hyquest Solutions. In the instance of a bucket replacement, follow the steps […]
Generate a Generic GSI Script
Sensors utilizing serial communication that are not already listed in the X2 sensor script library can be configured to communicate with the X2 by generating a Generic General Serial Interface (GSI) script. Note: The X2 data logger only supports the RS-232 and RS-485 serial communication protocols. This utility requires a CONNECT firmware version of V2.22.7.2 […]
Set Up a NexSens Radio Network
Each XBEE radio module that ships with a NexSens radio X2 has a unique identifier. Both the base and field nodes use this identifier to establish connections throughout the radio network. All field radios in the network must have the identifier information for the base station as a destination for their logged data. An RF […]
Access the RTU SD card in an X2-SDL data logger
Follow the article below to access the RTU SD card within an X2-SDL data logger. Caution!!!- Be sure to statically ground yourself prior to touching any of the electronics inside the X2-SDL logger or the SD card itself Tools Required: – 3/16″ Ball-Point Hex Driver (included in logger maintenance kit) -3/16″ Nut driver -Phillips Screw […]
