About Channels
What is a Channel?
Depending on the type of Vaisala data loggers you have
installed, a logger may have up to five channels available to
measure temperature, relative humidity, voltage and/or
current (one channel is used for each type of measurement).
Note: 300 Series Transmitters Output Quantities are
displayed as Channels.
Each channel displays the type of data being measured.
Using viewLinc, you can monitor any data logger channel
that is connected to the network.
When you first log in to viewLinc, the Channels window
displays. This window includes:
• zones available for monitoring
• data logger channels available for the selected zone
• active monitoring channels and actual channel data
• threshold indicators
• context-sensitive Help
Where are my Channels?
If you don’t see any channels in the My Channels area, it
could be that:
• There are no zones or channels selected. In the Zones
area, ensure at least one channel or zone has the check
box next to it selected, then click
Refresh in the My
Channels area.
• Your logger may not be connected properly. Speak to your
administrator.
