If a T-Node string is altered, the sensors must be re-detected before the iSIC is reprogrammed. This is because when the iSIC is being programmed, it checks that the attached T-Node string matches what was detected earlier. Note: These steps will require the data logger to be reprogrammed, which will erase all data currently on […]
It may be necessary to exclude certain data sets from an iChart report. This may be desired if bad readings are generated due to sensor communication error. 1. Open iChart. 2. Generate a new report by clicking Report | New Report or open an existing report by clickingReport | Open Report. 3. Open the “Report Tools” panel […]
NexSens iChart software Reports are not the only way to view data gathered in iChart. There are easily accessible built-in functions to export the data to .xls, .pdf and .csv formats. 1. Open iChart with a current project. 2. From the menu bar select Report | New Report… 3. Again from the menu bar select File | […]
When adding any analog sensor, a scaling factor must be entered to allow for accurate readings. All LI-COR sensors come with a “Certificate of Calibration” and it is on this sheet that the correct scaling factor can be found. The scaling value will be entered in the “Smart Sensor Properties” window when adding the sensor […]
iChart is defaulted to only allow one instance to run at once. However, in some instances it may be necessary to run two separate projects on the same computer at the same time. This process is not recommended for the average user. It is best to include all devices in one project or run separate […]
Switch power is used in data logging applications where power must be conserved. There are two separate implementations of this concept within the iSIC data logger. Sensor Switch Power Sensors plugged into SDL ports P1, T, and A or powered through pin 2 of an iSIC’s digital terminal strip are powered using switch power. This […]
Placing a project file into iChart is necessary when transferring the file to another computer. This process shows the exact place the file can be copied/saved to. 1.Open My Computer (Windows XP) or Computer (Windows Vista and 7) from the Start Menu or search for File Explorer (Windows 8). 2.Navigate to the location where the iChart application is stored […]
Direct connection with RS-485 can be established by using a UW-USB-485P cable to communicate with the SDL500C, SDL500R and SDL500I. To do this: 1. Plug the USB cable into a computer. If it is the first time the USB cable is plugged into the computer, drivers (software) will be needed – an internet connection is […]
The maintenance switch is a feature in iChart software that can be used for external control of an iSIC data logger. Once the feature has been enabled and a channel has been set, a simple switch controls if the iSIC logs data or not. 1. Open iChart without a current project. 2. From the menu […]
Graphing parameters on the same axis can be useful when comparing multiple graphs of the same parameter. These steps will provide instructions on how this can be achieved. 1. Open the Project File in iChart. 2. Open an existing report or create a new report by selecting Report | New Report. 3. Check parameters to be combined in […]
