Select the sonde to configure from the Sonde: dropdown list.
In the Define New Parameter box, select the Data Type from the
dropdown list, name the parameter, and edit the Units of
Measure if necessary. (Tip: To quickly locate the desired
parameter in the Data Type list, click the arrow and type the
first one or two letters.)
If the desired data type is not in the dropdown list, you may
select “User Defined.”
Assign each parameter the appropriate number between 1 and
20 in the field next to the Add button. This number corresponds
to the index position of the desired parameter in the SDI-12 data
string, obtained previously by connecting directly to the sonde
using the manufacturer’s software, or from the sonde’s user
manual. (For example, the manufacturer’s software may display
the parameters in tabular format; the number assigned to the
parameter may correspond to its column number in the table.
Contact the sonde’s manufacturer for detailed instructions.)
Click Add; the new parameter appears in the window above. To
make changes to defined parameters, select the parameter, enter
the changes, and click Edit.
When you have defined the parameters for the selected sonde,
you can save these settings by clicking Save in the Sonde
Template File box. Name the *.snd file and save it to the desired
location.
Your saved *.snd files can then be retrieved from your directory
and applied to a selected sonde at a later date, provided the
sonde’s factory measurement setup and configuration is
compatible with your template.
To apply a saved template, click Manual Configuration to open
the Sonde Data screen and click Open. Locate and select the
desired template file. Click Apply to save the settings from this
file to your selected sonde.
The Alarms tab of the Site window supports Isco 2103 and 2105
modem modules that have the factory-installed dialout alarm
capability. When a user-defined alarm condition is met, the
contacts are notified in sequence.
Note that while you are connected to the module through the
modem, it cannot report alarms.
