CHAPTER 2 Stand-alone sensor configuration using AADI Real-Time Collector
This chapter describes the sensor configuration using AADI Real-Time Collector when the sensor is used as stand-
alone sensor with serial communication RS-232 or RS-422 via the PC COM-port. The menus shown here are slightly
different from the menus shown when the sensor is working in AiCaP mode and configured through an Aanderaa
Datalogger via serial or USB connection to the PC (described in CHAPTER 3) or configured via the SeaGuard touch
screen (described in CHAPTER 5). It’s also possible to use terminal software to configure a stand-alone sensor, refer
CHAPTER 6, but then you need to enter all the commands and send them to the sensor. With Real-Time collector it’s
much easier since the software will then let you configure the sensor using the available choices in each category.
Before connecting the sensor you need to install and start the AADI Real-Time Collector software on your PC (provided
on memory stick delivered with the instrument if ordered). If you don’t have the AADI Real-Time Collector please contact
aanderaa.sales@xyleminc.com. If using windows 10 please see chapter 10.1
For more information about the AADI Real-Time Collector, refer TD 268 AADI Real-Time Collector Operating Manual.
2.1 Establishing a new connection
If the AADI Real-Time Collector program is
being used for the first time, the connection
list will be empty. Click on the New button
in the lower left corner to create a new
connection (refer Figure 2-1).
NOTE: This only needs to be done once.
AADI Real-Time Collector will keep the
information for later use and next time you
might select it from the connection list.
