Define or Edit Sensors
Ascent identifies sensors by their names. If you rename a sensor on your
instrument, then send the folder to your computer, Ascent will identify
this as a new sensor.
Once a sensor has been defined as a particular sensor type (e.g.
accelerometer), you will NOT be able to change the sensor type if the
instrument contains any recordings that have been taken with that
sensor. Your instrument will associate these recordings with their sensor.
If you need to redefine the sensor type, first delete all the associated
recordings on your instrument.
When you set the parameters for a measurement, you cannot choose
settings that conflict with the type of measurement you are trying to
create (e.g. if you are measuring acceleration, you cannot select a
current sensor). When you try to take the measurement, the instrument
will display a message to say the sensor is incompatible and that it
cannot take that type of recording and sensor.
