When you start using the QML logger, the first thing you need to do is
to define what parameters you want to measure and at what frequency.
You can do this by creating the setup file using Lizard Setup Software.
With AWS Client, you can upload the setup file from your PC to the
logger.
AWS Client is also used for setting station-specific parameters such as
the station name, altitude, pressure sensor height, and sensor-specific
calibration coefficients. In addition, the QML logger date and time can
be either set manually or synchronized with the PC clock.
After you have uploaded the setup files to the QML logger, you can
browse the data files by downloading them from the logger to your PC.
With AWS Client, you can convert the data log files into CSV format
for viewing in other applications, such as Microsoft Excel. You can
define several download settings, such as an automatic download
schedule, where you want to save the downloaded files and what
operations the program performs automatically at each download.
For more detailed information, refer to Chapter 3, AWS Client
Software, on page 35 .
Setup Software
Lizard Setup Software
Lizard Setup Software is used to configure the software parameters and
operation of the QML logger. With the Lizard Setup Software, you can
create or modify a QML logger setup file.
Creating a setup with Lizard Setup Software is divided into several
stages. First, you define an assembly for your system. Next, you define
the necessary measurements and the calculations derived from them.
Finally, you define reports and log groups from the measurement
results.
When your configuration is complete with Lizard Setup Software, use
the Generate functionality to create a setup file that contains all the
information. The setup file is then transferred into the logger using
AWS Client software.
