When the sampler mode is set to TreeFlux, additional parameters become available in the Basics tab. These define how the module operates during sampling.
Basic Sensor Settings
- Sensor Read Interval (sec)
Defines how often the connected sensors are read out.
Example: a value of 60 means one sensor measurement per minute. - Save Every Nth Reading
Determines how many of the readouts are stored in memory or on the SD card.
Example: if set to 5, only every 5th reading is saved, reducing data volume while still updating regularly. - Sensor Read Time (sec)
Specifies how long the system keeps the sensors powered during a readout cycle.
Useful for sensors that require a warm-up or stabilization phase before providing accurate values.
Basic TreeFlux Settings
- Sample Bags (bag/s)
Number of gas sampling bags connected to the system. - Flush Chamber (sec)
Duration for flushing the chamber before equilibration.
Ensures residual gas is purged. - Equilibration Time (min)
Time allowed for the chamber atmosphere to stabilize before taking a sample. - Flush Tubes (sec)
Duration for flushing the tubing lines before collecting a sample.
Prevents contamination from previous gas. - Fill Sample (sec)
Time the pump runs to fill the sample bag.
Note
Each setting should be adjusted according to the experiment design (e.g., chamber size, tube length, pump strength).
