About Locations
What is a Location?
The Locations feature is new to viewLinc 4.1, giving the user
improved customization with more information available
more readily from the Location tree view. A Location is a
‘data point’ which can be linked to any single channel and
can be located in a hierarchical tree of zones. It removes the
hardware definition of host/device/channel from the Location
tree, allowing any channel to become a Location. Depending
on the type of Vaisala devices you have installed, a device
may have up to five active channels and up to 27 definable
channels available to measure readings such as
temperature, relative humidity, voltage, pressure, current,
etc. (one channel is used for each type of measurement).
Note: 300 Series Transmitters Output Quantities are
displayed as Channels. (currently 27 possible
types)
Using viewLinc, you can monitor any device that is
connected to the network using Locations.
When you first log in to viewLinc, you can load the Locations
function by clicking on the main screen
Options button and
selecting Locations . This window includes:
• zones and locations available for monitoring in an
expandable tree view
• locations available for each selected zone
• table view which allows you to view and monitor data from
zones and/or locations
• trend view which allows you to combine, contrast and
compare location history in visual graphs with real-time
data
• context-sensitive help
