Setting Inputs

Each logger-attached site comes with a set of inputs depending on the hardware Product ID. There are two groups of input types - Native Inputs and User Inputs (or Other Inputs).

Native Inputs (or System Inputs)

Native inputs are system inputs that cannot be added or removed. These inputs come standard according to the type of hardware logger. This may include the following inputs:

• 4-20mA Analogue
• Pulse Counter
• Battery
• Signal

User Inputs (or Other Inputs)

Many inputs need to be added to specific sites in order to be available on the given sites. These are the User Inputs (or Other Inputs) that you can add to your sites, which includes the following inputs:

• Calculated Input
• Calculated Input (Difference)
• Copy Input
• PIC MODBUS
• PIC SDI12
• PIC SDI12 Bulk

Adding Inputs

1. Click Config sensors () in the Tools column.
• The Sensor Config window opens.
2. Click Add... or Add New Input
• The Add Input dialog opens.
3. Select the input that you wish to add from the Select Input Type drop-down list.
4. Click Ok.

Configuring Inputs

After the inputs are added to the specific sites, the inputs may require configuration to ensure the data is presented to you in a meaningful manner.

1. Click Config sensors () in the Tools column.
• The Sensor Config window opens.
2. Click on the input you wish to configure.
• The Input Settings window opens.
3. The Input Settings window allows you to do the following:
• Input Settings - update the Input Name and SCADA Tag ID (if relevant)
• Calibration
• Logging Frequency
• Alarms
• Data

See articles below for more details on configuring specific input types:

• 4-20mA analogue inputs
• Enviropro Soil Moisture Data

Deleting Inputs

1. Click Config sensors () in the Tools column.
• The Sensor Config window opens.
2. Click Delete ()
• The delete confirmation dialog opens.
3. Click Ok.
