8 2.2.3 Analog Input Channels There are 15 analog channels available for voltage sensor inputs (0 to 5 Vdc) or temperature sensor inputs (J-curve, 10K ohm resistance temperature device). Every channel can be configured through the user interface to accept either voltage or temperature sensors in any combination, up to 15 total inputs. An additional input channel is dedicated to power supply monitoring. The ranges for the voltage inputs are listed in Table 4. There are additional dedicated input channels for a solar radiation sensor (current input), two wind speed sensors (AC and DC pulsed), two wind direction sensors (potentiometer), and one tipping bucket rain gauge (switch closure). The operating parameters for all the analog input channels are configured through the user interface software resident on the NL32. Table 4 - Analog Input Ranges I/O Description Range Voltage 25mV, 50mV, 100mV, 250mV, 500mV, 1V, 2.5V, and 5V Current 0.25uA, 10 ua, 40 ua, 100 ua, 1 ma Temperature 10K ohm J-curve RTD Pulse or AC wind speed inputs 1400 Hz max Pulse counter rain gauge inputs 12 Hz max Communications Ports The communications ports include the following standards: RS232, RS422, RS485, USB 2.0, SDI-12, and Ethernet 10/100 Base TX. These ports are configured through the user interface software resident on the NL RS232/422/485 Communications The serial communications ports are all multi-protocol ports except Serial 1, which is designed for an RS232 modem link to a host computer. All ports operate up to 57,600 baud. The Serial 1 modem port provides an RS232 connection with RTS/CTS handshaking signals. Two additional control signals are provided to control the modem. Input activity on this port will wake the NL32 from its battery saver sleep state. The multi-protocol ports can operate as RS232, RS422, or RS485 ports. Each port is individually configured through the user interface menus. No hardware jumpers are used. When configured as an RS232 port, the RTS/CTS handshaking signals are available. 4

9 USB Communications The NL32 has two USB 2.0 ports. One port is for serial communications and the other port is for transferring data and software updates with an external USB memory drive. Any input activity on the communications port will wake the logger from its battery saver sleep state. The USB port for an external memory drive is used for off-loading logged data or for updating the software. A momentary push button switch located on the side of the NL32 initiates the data transfer when the memory drive is inserted. Pressing the button will wake the logger from its battery saver sleep state SDI-12 Port Supports one SDI-12 port Ethernet Port Supports one Ethernet connection as 10/100 Base TX Digital Alarm Outputs Two open collector outputs are available for controlling external equipment or alarms. The outputs can sink up to 3 A of current, at a maximum of 20 Vdc. These outputs are configured with alarm thresholds though the user menus Data Memory The NL32 is equipped with 8 MB of non-volatile flash memory for data storage Calendar Clock The NL32 includes a calendar clock with battery backup to maintain the date and time during power off. This clock is used for timing data collection and logging, and is used to periodically wake the logger from its battery saver sleep state. 3.0 OPERATION 3.1 Power Connections Connect a 12V battery or the AC charger. The AC charger is provided with the unit. Connect the red (positive) wire to the V+ and the black wire to the GND. (See page 2 item 8.) Wires are inserted by pushing down on the top of the terminal. Observe the power and status LEDs. (See page 2 item 12.) The power light is green when power is on. The status light is normally off. If the light is flashing red, it indicates a fault. Item 1 on the main menu will describe the fault. 5

10 3.2 Connecting to a Computer The first step in using the logger is to connect it to your computer so that it can be tailored for your application and suite of sensors. You can use any type of computer, whether a laptop, tablet, smartphone, or network computer. There are three types of communications ports, or user ports, for connecting to your computer. All the ports are default configured as user ports. 1. USB serial port 2. RS232, RS485 and RS422 COM serial ports 3. 10/100 Base TX Ethernet port To communicate using any of ports requires software on your computer. The USB and COM ports require a terminal emulation application, such as Hyperterminal, TeraTerm, or ProComm. The Ethernet port requires a Telnet application with ANSI terminal emulation. Refer to your software user manual to configure the communication parameters on your computer. You will need to connect through the USB or COM ports to configure the Ethernet port for your local network USB Port Connection The USB port is the easiest way to link your computer to the NL32. Follow the steps below to connect your computer to the USB port. The procedure assumes your computer is running and you are logged into its operating system. 1. Connect your computer to the USB port using an A-to-B USB cable. 2. Wait a few seconds for your operating system to recognize the NL Open your terminal emulator application on the computer. 4. If necessary, select the communications port that is being used to establish a connection with the NL32. Look for something similar to COM: USB Serial Port. 5. Pause momentarily to allow the terminal emulator to establish a connection. 6. Type "mm" then <Enter> to display the main menu COM Port Connection You can use any of the COM serial ports to link your computer. If this is your first time connecting, then it is easiest to use Serial 1 port's DB9 connector on the topside of the NL32. Follow these steps to connect your computer to the Serial 1 port. The procedure assumes your computer is running and you are logged into its operating system. 1. Connect your computer to the Serial 1 port DB9 connector using a standard modem cable. 2. Open your terminal emulator application on the computer. 3. If necessary, select the communications port that is being used to establish a connection. 6

11 4. Set the communication parameters to: 9600 bps baud, no parity, eight data bits, 1 stop bit, no flow control. 5. Open the port and pause momentarily to allow the terminal emulator to establish a connection. 6. Type "mm" then <Enter> to display the main menu Ethernet Port Before you can connect your computer using the Ethernet port, you must first configure it for your local area network. You do this through the USB or COM ports using the menu options. There are several restrictions to NL32's network access: 1. Access via the Ethernet port is by Telnet only. 2. The NL32 always uses a static IP address and port number. 3. DHCP (dynamic assignment of network addresses) is not supported. 4. The NL32 supports only one user connection on each port at any one time. Since the network interfaces allow remote access, there is a password check before allowing access to the user menus. If a password is not desired, then it can be left blank and then no password check is made. You set the password by choosing option #6 on the Main menu, then option #1 on the Configure Station menu, followed by option #5 to enter the Telnet password. To set up the Ethernet port you must first open its configuration menu. From the Main menu, choose option #6 for the Configure Station menu, and then choose option #4 for the Configure Ports menu. Choose option #13 to configure the Ethernet port. 1. Using option #5, set a suitable IP address that will not likely conflict with another computer on the network. 2. If you need Telnet to operate on a different port, that can be set with option #3. Generally port 23 is the best choice. 3. Use option #6 to change the subnet mask. Generally this will not need to be changed, and is the best choice. 4. Option #7 (Gateway Address) is typically the address of your network router. 5. Exit the menus to return to the Main menu. The NL32 may need to restart, depending on which options were changed. Once you have configured the Ethernet port, follow these steps to connect your computer. The procedure assumes your computer is running and you are logged into its operating system. 1. Open your Telnet application on the computer. 2. If necessary, select the network common to the NL32 and establish a connection. 3. Enter the Telnet password 4. Type "mm" then <Enter> to display the main menu. 7

12 3.3 User Menus You configure the logger by using a simple set of menus. There is no programming necessary or possible. The menus will lead you through the steps to add or delete sensors, set averaging periods, select logging and output intervals, and initialize communications links. The user interface is a set of hierarchical menus beginning with the "Main" menu. A diagram of the complete set of menus is included in Appendix A. To access the Main menu, you connect your computer and type "mm" then <Enter>. You then navigate from the Main menu by choosing an option, entering its number, and then pressing the Enter key on your computer. The menus are organized by the functions they perform. The Main menu leads to several top level menu functions: 1. Check operating status of the logger (see status light section 3.1) 2. Display current data in different formats 3. Retrieve and display data logged in memory 4. Off-load logged data from memory 5. Erase logged data 6. Configure the NL32 Logger for sensors and data logging. 3.4 Configure Station Settings Before you can begin using the logger, you must use the menus to enter the site or station's settings, such as station name, data and time, averaging period, and logging interval. You must also attach your sensors and identify the sensors for data collection using the menus. To configure, choose option #6 on the Main menu to access the top level "Configure Station" menu with the following options: 1. Enter the station's basic settings 2. Enter logger settings for averaging period and logging interval 3. Add or remove sensors from data collection 4. Edit serial, USB, and Ethernet port settings 5. Edit alarm triggers and thresholds 6. Update the firmware. From the Configure Station menu, choose option #1 to enter the station's basic settings: 1. Enter the name of your station. 2. Enter the wind sampling interval, typically either 5 seconds or 3 seconds. 3. Set the calendar clock date and time to accurately tag the logged data. 8

13 4. Choose the battery saver mode to conserve battery power if not using AC mains power 5. Enter a password for network connections via the Ethernet port. From the Configure Station menu, choose option #2 to enter the station's logger settings: 1. Enter an averaging period for data samples, ranging from one minute to sixty minutes 2. Enter a logging interval for averaged data, ranging from one minute to sixty minutes. 3.5 Connect Sensors Sensors are added by connecting their cables to the terminals on the topside of the NL32. You select the analog input channel or serial port that is best suited for the type of sensor and connect the sensor wires to those terminals. Wires are inserted by pushing down on the top of the terminal. You then specify that input channel or serial port when you use the menus to add the sensor to data collection. The NL32 automatically takes care of the technical details to begin collecting and logging data from that sensor. The first step in connecting your sensors is to determine the type of connection interface. The NL32 offers the following sensor interfaces: 1. A01 to A15 for analog voltage sensors, ranging from microvolts to 5 volts DC 2. A01 to A15 for thermistor sensors, NTC J-curve, 10K ohm at 25 C, linearized two lead 3. SOLAR for pyranometer (current) sensors, ranging from microamps to 100 milliamps 4. WND SPD for AC and DC pulse anemometers, ranging from microvolts to 5 volts 5. WND DIR for resistance direction sensors, with ratiometric excitation from WND EXC 6. RAIN for tipping bucket rain gauge 7. SDI-12 for sensors complying with this serial interface protocol 8. Serial Ports #1 through #10 for sensors with serial digital output protocols The active inputs listed above use the signal reference inputs AGND for the analog sensor inputs and DGND for the serial digital sensors. These two signal references are independent. You can power your sensor using the voltage output terminals on the topside of the NL32: V SW is a 3.3Vdc output that is switched ON/OFF if the power saver mode is ON 2. 5V SW is a 5 Vdc output that is switched ON/OFF if the power saver mode is ON 3. PWR SW is from the power terminals switched ON/OFF with power saver mode 4. PWR is from the power terminals and is on continuously 9

14 Refer to your sensor's technical manual to determine the best method for connecting the sensor to the topside push terminals. Appendix B contains example connections for the sensors you purchased with your logger. After connecting your sensors, use your computer to access the Main menu and choose option #6 for the Configure Station top level menu. Next, choose option #3 to enter the sensor menu, then option #1 to reach the Sensor Configuration wizard. You will see a listing of sensors currently included for data collection. At this point, you can Add a sensor, Delete a sensor, or Update a sensor (change its settings). When adding a sensor, the wizard will lead you through a path of choices that depends on the type of sensor being added. The choices are in the following sequence: 1. Select the type of sensor from the listing of types, such as temperature, evaporation, ceilometer, etc. 2. Select the specific model number of the sensor. 3. Select the sensor's input channel listed next to the push terminal connection. The NL32 presents a list of possible channels based on the sensor model number. 4. Depending on the sensor model, the wizard may ask for the calibration factor. 5. If the sensor uses a serial port, the wizard will present a configuration menu for setting the port parameters, such as baud rate, parity, and data length. 3.6 Set Alarms The ALARM 1 and ALARM 2 push terminals are open collector circuits that switch the connection to DGND (digital ground reference) when an alarm threshold is reached. You set the alarm thresholds after adding sensors to the data collection. From the Main menu, choose option #6 for the Configure Station top level menu. Next, choose option #5 to reach the wizard for adding alarms. You will see a listing of alarms currently configured. At this point, you can Add or Delete an alarm. If you choose to add an alarm, the wizard will guide you through a series of questions to configure the alarm triggering. 3.7 View Measurements After you have completed the set up steps, you will want to confirm that data are being collected from all the sensors. You use the menus to choose a presentation format to view and verify data collection. After setting up your station and connecting sensors, you can view measurements to verify the NL32 is collecting data correctly. From the Main menu, choose option #2 to view real-time data. The next menu gives you a choice to view data in different formats. Choose the format that best suits your needs. You can view the data logged in memory after the NL32 has been collecting data for some time. From the Main menu, choose option #3 to display the logged data. You can 10

15 then choose to view data collected within the recent hours or days, or specify a range of dates to view, or view data logged since you last off-loaded the memory. 3.8 Retrieve Logged Data Once the logger is configured, the sensors are attached, and data collection is verified, you can begin logging and transmitting data. The NL32 does this automatically based on the settings you chose. If the power is interrupted, it does not lose the settings you entered. It will automatically start working again when the power is restored. When you are ready to retrieve the logged data, you can either use your computer or a USB memory drive to off-load the data. To use your computer, choose option #4 from the Main menu to reach the menu of choices for off-loading data. You can off-load the entire memory, or specify a date range, or off-load all data since the last transfer. The data is transferred to your computer using the Xmodem serial protocol. You must select this protocol and enable CRC within your terminal emulation program. The data transfers as comma separated variables that can be imported to an Excel workbook. To off-load the logged data to a USB memory drive, you must first format the drive as FAT32 with 512 byte sectors. Plug the device into the USB memory port on the side of the NL32. Then push the transfer button to start the off-loading. The button will blink green while the transfer is being made. The new data since last download will off-load to the USB memory drive. When the transfer is finished, the transfer button will stay solid green for a few seconds and then turn off. If the transfer is unsuccessful, the button will blink amber color to indicate the failure. 4.0 CONNECTIONS The NL32 is equipped with several different types of connectors. The push terminals on the topside of the enclosures are where most connections are made. There is one DB9 type connector for Serial 1 port. One side of the enclosure has a set of headers for Serial 1 port, Serial 2 port, and the Peripheral port. The remaining connectors are standard USB-A, USB-B, and RJ45 for 10/100 Base TX Ethernet. 4.1 Push Terminals The push terminals on the topside of the NL32 are each labeled according to their functions. The name of each terminal matches its usage in the user menus. The table below provides a list of the terminals and their functional descriptions. 11
