3.2.6 Step 6 – Finish
All data loggers and sensors must be programmed before data collection can begin.
 Select an iSIC data logger and click the „Program iSIC‟ button. Before programming an
iSIC:
o The iSIC must be powered and connected to the computer.
o The 2100-iSIC must be powered and connected to a phone line.
o The 3100-iSIC must be powered and have a cellular data account.
o The 4100-iSIC must be powered and be able to communicate to the computer
through a 4100-base or 4200-iSIC
 Click Finish when programming is complete. This screen can always be revisited by
selecting Project | Setup Device Wizard if you would like to program an iSIC at a later
time.
3.2.7 Step 7 – Retrieve an Initial Data Set
After your sensor has been added to the database, the main instrument control screen will
appear.
Important: All parameters are initially displayed with blank values until after the first log
interval has passed and data has been interrogated. Once data has been retrieved from the
iSIC, these fields will show the most recent data set recorded by the instrument. By default,
iChart will automatically interrogate devices five minutes after every hour.
