How to Access OneSense Configuration Options
OneSense devices are equipped with a USB port. Using a data transfer USB cable you can access the configuration opetion. This is very useful during the POC (proof-of-concept) phase of a project as it allows you to easily change certain settings - such as how often sensor data will be acquired and transmitted, set the date and time, increase/decrease sensor settling time etc.
Prerequisits
- OneSense device with USB port and batteries
- USB data cable
- Windows PC (HyperTerminal or Putty) or MAC computer (Serial)
How to Access the USB Menu
- Open the lid
- Connect batteries and wait until the LED stops flashing
- Connect the USB cable to a PC or MAC
- Start HyperTerminal or Putty (Windows PC) or Serial (MAC)
- Connect the other end of the cable to OneSense. The OneSense' LED will turn on (green). If the LED does not turn on or is red or orange, disconnect the USB cable from OneSense, disconnect batteries. Wait 5-10 sec, connect batteries again, connect USB cable.
Windows only - make sure Windows OS does not block the USB port
and check Device Manager to find out wich COM port was assigned to OneSense .
MAC only – the device will be displayed in Serial.
Once you connect to the device a screen will all available options will be
displayed. The list of available options will depend on the device model –
eg. OneSense Pulse, Voltage, Current, Temperature or Environment and
Agriculture.
How to Configure Putty
Resetting the device or disconnecting batteries will set all variables to their
default (factory) values. After completing your tests/POC, please contact us
to request a firmware with your preferred settings.
List of USB Menu Option
[0] Factory Setting
[2] Sigfox Transmission Rate
Configures the interval between consecutive transmissions of Sigfox
messages containing sensor data. Sensor readings are performed just
before every Sigfox transmission. Pulse counting (if available) is
continuously operational.
[3] System Clock
Set time and date
[4] Device Info
[5] SDI-12 Command Interpreter
Direct user communication with SDI-12 sensors connected to the device.
Refer to the datasheet of your sensor for more information on SDI-12
commands.
[6] SDI-12 Address Dispatcher
Semi-automatic routine to assign addresses for multiple SDI-12 sensors to
be connected to an Evvos device. Routine is applied for use cases
supporting multiple SDI-12 sensors.
[7] AT Command Interpreter
Direct user communication with the on-board RF module using ATcommands.
[8] System Clock Calibration
Lead/lag adjustment of the on-board astronomical clock.
[9] Device Monitor
Data logging function for run-time cyclic reading of device status and
battery voltage and logging these values directly to a PC through USB port
and cable. This option does not transmit data over the Sigfox network.
[10] GNSS Monitor
Data logging function for cyclic reading of GPS location and logging data
directly to a PC data through USB port and cable. This option does not
transmit data over the Sigfox network. Enabled only on devices with
GNSS-compatible firmware and GNSS add-on board installed.
[11] GNSS Transmission Rate
Configures the interval between consecutive transmissions of Sigfox
messages containing GNSS location data. GNSS location is performed
just before the Sigfox transmission.
[12] mV/uA Monitor
Data logging function for cyclic reading of the connected analog output
sensors and logging data directly to a PC through USB port and cable.
[13] Counter Mode
Setting the counting dynamics of supported counters:
- Resetting – counter value is cleared after each Sigfox transmission.
- Accumulative – counter value is cleared only on device turn-on.
Every next pulse increments the value until the max. possible value
is reached. For 16-bit counters max value is 65535. After reaching
max. value the counter is reset and starts from zero.
[14] Settling Time for Sensors
Time delay between sensor power-up and sampling measurement.
Settling time ensures all transient processes within a sensor due to powerup are finished and thus the readings are within the specified sensor
accuracy. Refer to the datasheet of your sensor for required settling
(power-up) time.
Default Values (Factory Settings)
Parameter | Default Value |
Sigfox transmission
rate | 1x Sigfox message every 15 minutes (96
messages per day) |
GNSS transmission
rate | 1x Sigfox message every 168 hours (once per
week) |
Counter mode | Accumulative |
Settling time for
sensors | 200 ms |
Analog resolution | Analog resolution |
