Preface — What's New in RTDAQ?
The most significant changes in RTDAQ 1.1 are in the Short Cut program
generator. These include:
• A new Datalogger step has been added to the Progress panel. In this step,
you select the datalogger model and set the scan interval. When
generating a program for a CR9000X, the CR9000X Configuration box
also appears on this screen.
• When adding a sensor, if more than one of the selected sensor can be
added, the choice of how many sensors to add is included as part of the
sensor’s form rather than as a separate dialog box.
• When adding more than one sensor, a dialog box is available that allows
you to input unique values for certain calibration and/or conversion factors
(e.g., multiplier, offset, gage factor) for each sensor being measured.
• Each sensor form now includes a wiring tab that shows the wiring for the
sensor. This tab allows you to manually change the wiring location, if
desired.
• For some sensors that require an excitation voltage, the sensor form now
includes parameters that allow you to calculate Sensors per Excitation
Channel. (Exciting more than one sensor with an excitation channel is
helpful when the sensors to be measured outnumber the available
excitation channels.)
• An SC115 CS I/O-to-USB Flash Memory Drive check box has been added
to the Outputs screen. When this box is selected, new data will be copied
to an SC115 when it is plugged into the CS I/O port of the datalogger.
• Selected Sensors are now shown in a tree format and branches of the tree
can be collapsed or expanded as desired. This can be especially useful
when the Selected Sensor tree contains multiplexers.
• New Sensor files for the 03002 Wind Speed and Direction Sensor, 105E
(chromel-constantan) Thermocouple, the WindSonic1 (RS-232) Two-
Dimensional Ultrasonic Wind Sensor, the WindSonic4 (SDI-12) Two-
Dimensional Ultrasonic Wind Sensor, the HMP155 Temperature and
Relative Humidity Sensor, the SR50A Sonic Ranging Sensor (SDI-12
Output), the CS450/455 Pressure Transducer, a Vibrating Wire Sensor
(for generic vibrating wire sensors and the AVW200), the 27106T Wind
Speed Sensor, the CS525 ISFET pH Probe, the CS650/655 Water Content
Reflectometer, the CS506 Fuel Moisture Sensor, the NR-LITE2 Net
Radiometer, the CNR4 Net Radiometer, a Quarter Bridge Strain Gage, the
Geokon 4000/4050 Vibrating Wire Strain Gage, the Geokon 4100 Series
Vibrating Wire Strain Gage, the Geokon 4420 Vibrating Wire Crackmeter,
and the Geokon 4500 Series Vibrating Wire Piezometer.
