Setup File
When you start using the QML logger for the first time, you need to
upload a setup file from your PC to the logger.
This setup file includes all details required for the system to function
properly: which sensors the system contains, which settings they use, to
which QML logger channels they are connected, and how often they
measure weather parameters. The setup file also defines the frequency
at which QML logs data in a file and the number of days for which data
log files are kept in the logger memory.
For archiving the setup files, save them as .dtg files in a folder on a
reliable backup device. For further information, refer to Vaisala
HydroMet™ Data Collection Platform User's Guide, Volume 2.
Selecting Setup File
Lizard Setup Software comes with some ready-made setup files from
which you can choose the one to be used. You can select the file that
best suits your system. The main difference between the setups is that
with some of them, the system measures weather data more frequently,
logs more variables by having more sensors, and produces more reports
than with others.
You can modify one of the setup files with Lizard Setup Software to
produce exactly the setup you want. However, this requires a thorough
understanding of the system. For further information, refer to Vaisala
HydroMet™ Data Collection Platform User's Guide, Volumes 2 and 3.
CAUTION If you create a setup of your own by modifying the ready-made files,
store the new file under a different name. This way, you can go back
to the original setup in case the new one does not work.
