4.3.6 Sensor Parameters
In the first column of Configuration page (Figure 4.11), click on No. 1 to view and
modify the Sensor Parameters page for Temperature.
Figure 4.12 Sensor Parameters
Below are some definitions of terms used in the Sensor Parameters page.
Device Name: is a text field and can take up to 16 alphanumeric characters, it shows on
the “Configuration” and the “Read Sensor” page.
Remote Display Format: Remote display format is used for Terminal Server continuous
mode.
P0000.0mbar in barometric pressure setting, displays P and 0000.0mbar is the
barometric pressure value displayed.
Example: if the barometric pressure is 1014.4, then P1014.4mbar will be seen in the
remote display. If no format is specified (blank), there is no reading sent out. If
temperature is 76.25 and 00.0F is used in temperature setting, the remote site will show
76.2F.
This format setup is originally based on iLD Remote Display, which has four or six LEDs.
For six LEDs, T00.00F format, and for four LEDs, 00.0F formats are appropriate.
Remote End Char
: The default value is 0D (Hex representation of <CR>). This means
that the iServer sends <CR> after each temperature and barometric pressure value.
This will be done only in Continuous mode.
This is how the data will appear on the host with OD assigned:
T75.7F
P1014.9mbar
If the end character, for instance, is 20 (Hex representation of
space), the data will then appear as: T75.7F P1014.9mbar
If nothing is set for the “Remote End Char” field, the iServer will
then forward the data to the LAN with no characters followed.
Offset: Since the sensing probe is solid state electronics, there
is no need for calibration. If it’s determined that the readings
are slightly off, the user can manually assign numerical values
(including negative) to adjust the readings for temperature and
barometric pressure. For temperature offset, the unit must be
in degree C, for barometric pressure the unit must be in hPa.
The Offset can be changed while recording is on.
