Typical Scheduled Output Example

A ground water site using an iRIS 320 is required to log a sample every hour that is obtained from a pressure transducer whose power supply is controlled from the digital output, DO1 via a transistor switch. The transducer needs to be powered up for one minute prior to the measurement being taken and logged. The settings required for DO1 to achieve this are shown below.

The output will be activated at the beginning of the 59th minute of each hour in the day, starting at 00:59. It will remain on for 65 seconds, ensuring that the sensor is still powered up at the point when the reading is captured on the hour. The final output activation for the day will occur at 23:59 in preparation for the midnight measurement.
