Station Configuration Logging vs Transmission Intervals –Logging Interval sets the interval for data to be stored on the station. Not sent to the Web Backup, the Real Thing, or Ignored –Transmission Interval sets the interval for Current Conditions to be sent to the Web Viewable on Web, downloadable to SpecWare 9 Pro One record sent per interval If Transmission Interval = 30 minutes and Log Interval = 15 minutes, only 2 records will be recorded each hour on the Web
25
Station Configuration Data charges will be determined by Transmission Interval and Format –15 minute intervals = 96 records per day –60 minute intervals = 24 records per day Transmission Format Sizes –1 Text = 108 bytes –G Binary M or H Binary E = 40 bytes –I Short Bin M or J Short Bin M = 28 bytes Ports A-E not transmitted Recommended for Iridium Satellite only
