System 5000™ Software
5
The System 5000™ takes a new approach to data logging. During setup, measurement parameters
are assigned logical names (labels) such as AirTemp or Battery. These names are referred to as Tasks
in the System 5000™. Each Task can be assigned an input or source, such as an SDI-12 sensor or an
A/D channel, as well as one or more output or destination, such as a log file or GOES transmission.
The value retrieved from the input becomes the Task’s primary value and will be passed along to any
outputs assigned to that Task. In this manner, inputs and their values can be easily identified by their
Task names in both simple and more advanced setups.
All setups and configurations can be
performed using the built-in touch screen
display. After the System 5000™ has fully
booted, touch anywhere on the screen to turn
the display on. The screen to the right will
appear.
