6.3.1.6 Sensor Selection
The standard DS-4483 logger program has provision for up to 20 independent sensors. The Sensor
Selection box lists all the sensors currently configured in the device. Those with a tick next to them are
active in the logger. Those without a tick are not active. To toggle a sensor between active and inactive,
simply click the check box next to the sensor. If you are configuring new sensors, it is recommended that
you use the New Sensor Wizard.
Remember: Only the configurations for the ticked sensors are active in the
logger. Only active sensors can have their configuration altered from this
window.
The fields can be changed by selecting the desired sensor from the Sensor Configuration box, clicking on
the appropriate field with the mouse and making the necessary changes. Remember that any changes
will not become effective in the datalogger until you have clicked
[Update] to send the updated
configuration to the logger.

Array ID
Enter an array ID for the sensor. Take care to ensure that each of the sensors configured has a different

This option will clear all configuration information from the selected sensor location. Confirmation is
required before the action is carried out, as the action cannot be undone.
