2.6 Cloud Datacenter

Cloud datacenters, also known as web-based or online datacenters, play a pivotal role in managing the data delivered by modern environmental data collection systems. They provide a secure, centralized platform for storing, processing, and analyzing collected data via the Internet, thereby enhancing the accessibility, scalability, and functionality of environmental monitoring programs. Cloud datacenters typically offer […]

Running a Sensor Re-Detection

After running a sensor auto-detection during initial setup, WQData LIVE receives and parses the specific XML data format that outlines the logger’s sensor configuration (i.e., sensor id, parameter ids, parameter units, etc.). Once the sensor configuration is received, it is saved on the backend of WQData LIVE and used to parse data for future transmissions […]

Data Export: GLOS API

Using the GLOS API option in the Data Export tool, users can share their project data directly with the Great Lakes Observing System (GLOS) in the format recognized by GLOS. Saving/memorizing a template allows WQData to send data automatically at a specified interval.   General To create a Data Export with the GLOS API: Navigate […]

Access the Data Export Tool

The Data Export feature is a quick and simple data acquisition tool that allows users to download or send data through email or FTP in CSV or multiple XML formats without loading data directly onto the WQData LIVE page. This feature removes the latency associated with loading a substantial data set.   To access the […]

Set Log and Transmit Start Times

The log start time and selective upload interval(s) can be set through the Advanced Device Remote Configuration tool. These features allow the X2 to log data to its internal memory at a specific log start time and control the transmission of certain parameters. These features help reduce system data usage and telemetry on-time.   Adjust […]

Update Data Logger Settings

For proper transmission, the internal data logger settings must match the settings on WQData LIVE. Multiple commands will achieve this purpose depending on the telemetry model of the logger. Both commands can be accessed from the Advanced Device Remove Configuration Tool within the administrator settings. The Sync settings command applies to Wifi and cellular telemetry […]

Averaging Logged Sensor Data

Averaging for sensor parameters may be enabled by adjusting the log and sample intervals in the Device Remote Configuration Tool within the administrator settings. Log Interval: Frequency of data written to the data logger memory to be transmitted to the web. Sample Interval: Frequency of data read from the sensor by the data logger internally. […]

Communicate with WQData LIVE through CONNECT

CONNECT contains commands to immediately communicate with the WQData LIVE web datacenter in the WQDATA tab. Options are available for updating the X2’s sensor configuration, checking and executing commands from the WQData LIVE command queue, and posting all stored data that has not yet transmitted to the web data center. Setup WQData LIVE  Connect the X2 […]
