Going to the Data Retrieval Menu (type U{ENTER} D{ENTER}), and looking at the logged data.
It is important to remember that as long as you don't save your configuration changes to EEPROM (by
typing E{ENTER}), you can always retrieve the original configuration by powering down your ZENO
®
-
3200. When it powers up, the original configuration stored in EEPROM will be copied into RAM and
become the working configuration.
An extensive discussion of ZENO
®
-3200 timing is provided in Section 12.1.
3.2. PART TWO—LEARNING HOW TO CONFIGURE YOUR OWN ZENO

-3200
3.2.1. How Do I Configure The ZENO
®
-3200 To Perform My Requirements?
If you purchased your ZENO
®
-3200 with no factory-installed configuration, it will be shipped with the
default configuration.
The default ZENO
®
-3200 configuration contains no sensors, no processes
and no data to be logged. It is a blank configuration.
In this case, you need to configure the ZENO
®
-3200 to meet your own requirements.
In this section, some simple aspects of configuring sensors, processes and setting up data to be logged and
transmitted will be examined.
Before you start to configure your own ZENO
®
-3200, ask yourself the following list of questions.
Identifying what you need the ZENO
®
-3200 to do and how the ZENO
®
-3200
can accomplish your requirements will simplify the configuration process.
1. What do I need to the ZENO
®
-3200 to measure?
2. What are the types of sensors that I need to collect data from?
3. How do my sensors match each of the sensor types defined in ZENOSOFT
®
?
4. How often do I need to measure data from each sensor (once every second, twice every 5 seconds,
once every 10 seconds, etc.)
5. How do I electrically connect each sensor to the ZENO
®
-3200?
6. Do I need each sensor to be powered continuously or do I want each sensor powered only when a
measurement is to be taken? (This may be very important if your ZENO
®
-3200 has a limited source
of power.)
7. Do I need data that can only be obtained indirectly by processing the collected data?
8. If processing is required, which process (or processes) can I use to obtain the desired results?
9. Which collected and processed data (if any) needs to be logged in each data record?
10. Which collected and processed data (if any) needs to be transmitted? (Is it the same or different from
the data that is to be logged?)
11. Do I need the ZENO
®
-3200 to transmit the data records automatically or do I only plan to view
logged data?
