• Sampling once per second.
• Math statistics (Average, Min, Max, Sdv) recorded
  per interval (from 1 min to 1 hour).

  in Removable Compact Flash Cards (up to 2GB) for
  practically unlimited data storage.

  additional RS-232 device or sensor, like an
  ultrasonic anemometer, to communicate with it
  remotely, via the same Sym-o-net modem. When
  communicating with the device, communication with
  the datalogger is not possible.
• Unique sensor supervisor technology. Check the
  power consumption of each sensor separately.
  Shows fault cause without visiting site. Ability
  to isolate faulty sensors.
• Fixed precision voltage excitation outputs, for
  counter sensor supply 1x2.5V, 9x5V and 2x11V.

  various ways
• The datalogger can be used
• On its own, for local and remote (GSM/GPRS)
  operation
• With a serial-to-Ethernet adaptor, connected to
  its serial port, for LAN/ internet operation
• With other types of modems (which do not require
  a SIM card), connected to its serial port
• The communication methods are presented more
  analytically in the next chapters

8. STYLITIS EXPLORER SOFTWARE

• Stylitis Explorer is Stylitis-50s free operating
  software. Via Stylitis Explorer you can
• Create Site folders and Connections. Each
  datalogger has its unique folder, while multiple
  (different types of) connections can be created
  for the logger. The different connection types
  correspond to the communication methods,
  discussed before.
• Modify its Setup Channel parameters, recording
  interval, GPRS settings, etc.
• Specifically, channel parameters can be set in 3
  ways manually via a virtual keyboard (same
  buttons and appearance as the real one), manually
  via a more user friendly interface (Easy Setup)
  or automatically (via Easy Setup again), by
  selecting a specific sensor from Stylitis
  Explorers sensor library
• View the loggers status Instant parameters,
  such as the current file, the recording time
  remaining, etc.
• View the instant channel values.
• Enable/ disable data acquisition to create data
  files, stored in the removable Compact Flash card
  (up to 2 GB). Files are not stored in the 512KB
  internal memory (buffer) when acquisition is
  disabled.
• Download data files, which are stored in the
  Compact Flash card, or the current file of the
  buffer, in compressed form. They are stored and
  decompressed automatically in the site folder, to
  be viewed via a text editor. From the Compact
  Flash you can download the recent file (a new
  file begins), the cards directory (to speculate
  the files size, number, start and end date), or
  a previous file.
• Adjust the built-in Sym-o-net modem settings, for
  GSM/GPRS connections and encrypted data emails.
• View an Online plot of the channel values. All
  samples are plotted (every second).
• Manage the downloaded data files offline.
• For single data files view the channels plot
  and statistics, apply new Slope and Offset values
  in retrospect
• For a folders files check the integrity of the
  files (check for missing or duplicate records or
  if the interval is the same for all files) and
  view the data availability within the months and
  years.

10. AUTOCONNECT SOFTWARE

• As stated before, data files can be downloaded
  manually, via Stylitis Explorer, via any
  connection.
• However, data download, along with other actions
  as well, can be preformed automatically, in a
  regular basis, via the additional free software
  AutoConnect.
• The datalogger can perform a different action
  each weekday
• Download Data The current data file, either from
  the buffer or from theCompact Flash. There is an
  option to clear the buffer in the end or not.
• Download Status Instant parameters, such as the
  current file, the recording time remaining, etc.
• Download Display. Get the instant channel values.
• Update Captum. Captum is a free service to
  present real-time and historical data of
  Symmetron data loggers on the World Wide Web.
• 
  
  
  Captum Plot
• The selected action of a weekday can be performed
  once a day at a specific selected time, or
  infinite connections can be made that weekday
  every as many minutes as you wish.
• Besides editing the auto connections (like in
  Stylitis Explorer) via AutoConnects interface,
  you can
• View a list of all your automatic connections and
  execute one or more manually.
• Check each connections latest status, ie if it
  succeeded, or failed and why.
• View the date and time of last connection and
  last successful download for each one.
