The Home tab under Basics contains the fundamental sampler and sensor configuration settings. These settings determine how the SmartSampler2 initializes, collects data, and executes measurement sequences.
⚙️ Basic Sampler Settings
- Sampler Mode
- Selects the operating mode of the SmartSampler2.
- Options include:
- User defined → Allows full customization of behavior using the User Program tab.
- Preset modes (if available) → Preconfigured workflows for common use cases.
- Press Save to apply changes.
- System Warm-Up (seconds)
- Defines a delay period after power-up before working the tasks begin.
- Useful when sensors require stabilization (e.g., gas sensors, flow sensors).
- Range: adjustable in seconds.
- Press Save to confirm.
📊 Basic Sensor Settings
- Sensor Read Interval (sec)
- Time between consecutive sensor readouts.
- Defines how frequently the SmartSampler2 requests data from connected sensors.
- Example:
10→ sensor values are pulled every 10 seconds.
- Save Every Nth Reading
- Reduces stored data volume by only saving every Nth reading.
- Example:
1→ Save every reading.2→ Save every 2nd reading.10→ Save every 10th reading.
This feature is particularly useful when sensors are polled frequently but only periodic data points are needed for long-term logging.
🧩 FlowChart Preview
- Displays a simplified flowchart visualization of the Sampler Mode.
- Start → You decide → End is shown in User defined mode.
- In preset modes, this flowchart reflects the programmed workflow.
- Provides a quick overview of how the sampler logic is structured.
📌 Notes
- Changes in this tab affect the global operation of the SmartSampler2.
- Always Save after adjustments, otherwise changes will not be applied.
- For advanced customization, switch to User Program mode and edit the detailed automation logic there.
