Explanation of Software Operation and Features
How the WiZARD2 System Operates
The WiZARD2 software features 4 main components
1. The Database:
The Database only needs to be setup once. The database can be saved and restored if the host PC
fails. The WiZARD2 database is built in SQL.
2. The Application: The software opened via the Wizard2 icon is your tool for adding/editing
devices and viewing saved logged data. The application does not need to remain open for the
system to work. The application can remain closed until edits or viewing of saved logged data is
required.
3. The Receiver: The Receiver must be attached to the host PC via USB at all times. The
Receiver will blink blue and occasionally green every few seconds to indicate operation. If the
receiver blinks red or remains solid red, the receiver buffer is full or the receiver is not connected.
See technical support for tips to resolve this issue. If the receiver is not connected, logger data can
not be saved to the database.
4. Ethernet loggers: Ethernet loggers do not require the Receiver for communications. Ethernet
loggers send data directly to the Host PC via an Ethernet connection. The broker must be running
in order for logger data to be saved to the Database.
5. The Broker: The broker is a service that lets the Database, Application and Receiver all talk
together. The broker must be running in order for the system to operate and for sent logged data to
be saved to the database. If the broker is down the receiver will be disconnected and no logger data
can be saved to the database.
How to tell if the Broker is running and how to start/stop broker.
1. Once the broker is started for the first time, it should automatically start every time the PC is
rebooted.
2. The broker is running if:
a. The PC icon in the lower right corner of the main Windows display is Green.
b. When the Application is open, “Connection to Broker: Connected” is displayed.
3. The broker is not running if:
a. The PC icon in the lower right corner of the main Windows display is Red.
b. When the Application is open, “Connection to Broker: Not Connected” is displayed.
