e) Since all the equipment should already be registered through the Site Management Tool,
all climate sensors owned by the site should appear on this tab and have a “Ready to Use”
status. If no sensors appear in the “Sensor Management” tab, see S

It is a good idea to run the station for a week to make sure everything is working as expected. Data
from the first two weeks should be uploaded to the TEAM portal as soon as possible, to make sure the
station is running without any problems. Turn on/connect the battery to the data logger, close the door
and lock it.

After a few days, go back to the station and extract the memory card
by pressing the white button in front of the memory card adapter. As soon as it turns green,
open the door of the adapter and push the button to eject the memory card. Do not be
concerned about losing any data when removing the card; the data logger will keep collecting
data, which will be stored in its internal memory. Put in a new specially formatted, empty
memory card.

You will need Campbell’s PC200W software to extract
the binary data from the memory card and convert it to a text file. Insert the card in a memory
card reader and open the PC200W software.

To upload the data from the
memory card, the file must first be converted to a readable format. To do this, use the software
