Section 1. Introduction
1.1.2 Clock/Program and the EZSetup Wizard
Setting up the RTDAQ datalogger network is a relatively simple process with
the EZSetup Wizard, which guides you through the steps necessary to add
and enter settings for dataloggers. Once a datalogger is added to the list, you
can choose the Edit Datalogger button to activate the Wizard again and
change those settings. Progress through the Wizard is shown on the left side of
the screen, with steps for choosing a datalogger, defining the communications
path between the computer and the datalogger, fine tuning settings for the
datalogger (e.g., baud rate or security code), testing communications, checking
or setting the clock, and finally sending a program or viewing a program file
which is already running. After a datalogger has been added, you can select
and connect to that datalogger from the Clock/Program tab via point and click
operations.
1.1.3 Monitor Data
Once you’ve added and connected to a datalogger, the Monitor Data tab
switches to a view that lets you monitor the latest values measured on the
datalogger. You can monitor variables as they are updated after each
execution of the datalogger program scan or monitor the latest data items that
have been stored into the datalogger’s tables.
The Monitor Data tab also lets you edit public variables directly, or view data
using several available real-time monitors.
1.1.3.1 Real-time Monitors
RTDAQ has a variety of windows for viewing datalogger data in near real-
time. After the Monitor Data tab is selected, these options show as buttons
which open separate windows when pressed.
