Data Retrieval, Processing and Final Storage in the Lake Victoria Basin Database

5.1 Introduction

PC208W Datalogger Support Software is a Windows based software package specifically developed by Campbell

Scientific for communication between datalogger and PC. It consists of a help module and 7 independent datalogger

support components. Among them software for setting up a network of PC connected stations, and on-line datalogger

communication; modules which will not be used in this particular Lake Victoria application.

Smooth flow of data from datalogger to Lake Victoria Basin Database is accomplished with the help of the following

two PC208W units: StgModule and Report. The first serves to transfer raw data files from storage module to PC,

while the second is used to separate the various hydrometeorological parameters and re-arrange the data structure.

Both modules will be discussed in the below presented paragraphs.

The coming text does, however, not cover all aspects of the two employed PC208W components. Only the subjects

which are considered useful in the data down-loading process are discussed. The user is referred to the respective

Campbell Scientific Instruction Manuals, as well as the on-line help, in case of need of more information.

5.2 StgModule Component

5.2.1 Introduction

On-line information flow from datalogger to PC is not yet feasible in the East African environment due to the

unavailability of telephone connections at station site. Instead, the project has opted for the portable SM192 Storage

Module to transfer the accumulated raw data from the logger’s RAM to personal computer. This storage device can

contain up to almost 100,000 data values as well as a maximum of 8 datalogger programs. Communication between

storage module and PC is enabled through the StgModule software, discussed in this paragraph.

5.2.2 Connecting Storage Module to PC

lThis paragraph presents the instructions for establishing communication between SM192 and PC.

Step A1: Connect the SM192 Storage Module to the SC532 Interface using the blue SC12 cable.

Step A2: Make sure the SC532 Interface is powered.

Step A3: Double click the PC208W Datalogger Support Software Icon, presented below.

The following toolbar appears:

Step A4: Click the StgModule tab. A window alike the one presented below shows up.

The menu-bar contains four different items: File, Options, Data and Help. Just beneath this line 3 different tabs
