User's Manual SiteView – Data Logger Software

Know If Logger Operate Properly?It is important to know that the logger is operating properly. What status can we use to tell if thelogger has stopped logging data and is operating abnormally?The first status you should look at is the blue bold section just above the Channel information:This status tells you if the logger is logging data or has stopped. Other information it reports can be:1. The logger has not started logging data. It will start at XXXX.The logger is in start-delay mode and is counting down the timer. Once the timer goes to zerothe logger will start logging data.If you set Time to Start field to a time in the future you will see the above status. If youwant the logger to record data right after the logger is configured you can set this field to nowor a time in the past.2. The logger has stopped logging data and has been dormant for XXXX.If the logger is in dormant mode, it stops logging data and waits for SiteView to downloadthe data.Usually, this is because the When Memory Full field was set to Stop Logging when thelogger was configured, and when the memory is full the logger will stop logging and indormant mode.If you want the logger to keep recording data you can set When Memory Full field toContinue Logging.3. Data has rolled over and in FIFO modeIf the logger is in First-In-First-Out mode, the logger keeps overwriting the oldest data withthe new measured data.If you are only interested in a specific time frame, you may need to set When Memory Fullfield to Stop Logging. In this case, the logger will stop logging when the time passed theTime to End parameter.Another status you should focus is the battery level. If the on-board battery level is too low you willget the red warning sign indicating it’s time to replace the battery.SiteView User’s Manual – Microedge Instruments Inc. 39/200
