General Settings
General Settings
The General tab is split into three parts:
· Sensor Type
· Identification
· Settings
The sensor type is defined during the initial sensor setup and can not be edited later.
In the Identification section of this window, you can define the Sensor Name, which will be used to identify the sensor. Finally, you can enter a value for the Indicator field.
In the Settings section, you can define the scanning interval (in seconds) – this interval defines at what rate the device is scanned for information. The Custom Graph Averages is used to determine the average value used for the custom graph type. You can enter a value and then define the time span according to seconds, minutes, hours, or days. Unchecking the Sensor is active checkbox will deactivate the sensor activity.
For export of the monitoring data checking the Write CSV File checkbox will enable the generation of one CSV file per sensor per day. Extended CSV format dumps even more data into the CSV file. These CSV files will then contain the results of each single request and can be used to import the data into other programs for further analysis. See the section What do the values in the exported CSV log file say? for more information.
