Program
Under the Program tab, any logger can be programmed for Aqualog, but only some
can be programmed for Sound Recording. Note: if Aqualog has been selected, the
third tab will display Histograms; if Sound Recording has been selected, the third tab
will read Download Sound. Below is an outline what each parameter setting does.
Start Time:
Sets the starting date and time of the logger (Note: Start Time
cannot be set in the past).
Log Duration:
Sets the length of time over which readings are taken.
Log Interval:
Sets the time between readings (Aqualog only).
Logs per Day:
Sets the number of logs taken per day (Aqualog only).
# Days:
Sets the number of days to be active for (Aqualog only).
Upon selecting the logger of choice, and setting the desired parameters, clicking the
button will start the programming sequence. The logger’s number
and programming status will appear in the table.
IMPORTANT: For accurate correlation of sound recordings, the loggers must be
programmed together at the same time, and not separately. The loggers can be
programmed and downloaded separately, but this will introduce an error of typically
5m per minute of time difference.
Once the logger has been programmed, the status will change from “Wait” to
“Initialising” to “Programmed”, and the message box in the bottom left corner will
display “Reading 100% successful”.
