  20. 18. OPTON: STARTING UP AND VIEW Opton is Stylitis-10’s free operating software. • Start up with Opton, by creating Site folders and Connections. • Create one unique site folder for each datalogger. • In each site folder, multiple (different types of) connections can be created for the logger. The different connection types correspond to the communication methods, discussed before. • The connections created are saved as windows files, which are recognized by Opton in a folder interface, along with the compressed and decompressed data files (see Chapter 20), and setup files, ie logger settings (see next Chapter) saved in a file. Refer to the corresponding screen shot in Chapter 22. • After achieving a connection, you can communicate with the logger. Besides changing its settings and download data, you can view some features, and specifically: • View the logger’s status: Instant parameters, such as the date and time, the current data file being recorded, the recording time remaining, etc. • View the instant channel values. • View an Online plot of the selected channels’ values. All samples are plotted (every second).Appropriate units appear on the plot.Refer to the corresponding screen shot in Chapter 22.

  21. 19. OPTON: SETUP Connect to the datalogger, via Opton, via one of the connections you created and modify its setup. CHANNEL SETTINGS • Channel 1 is a counter channel, Ch2~7 can be set as analog ones or digital inputs, Ch8 can be both and Ch9 measures the logger’s battery. • Besides that, channels 1~8 can also be set as digital outputs active low, to drive small relays. Set conditions regarding other channel values (inputs) to control the output state or set it manually. • Stylitis-10 can also be upgraded to support digital bus (MODBUS RTU and SDI-12) channels. • The settings of all channels can be changed in two ways: • Manually. Change settings manually: gain (for analog channels), level (for counter ones), type, Slope and Offset (for both ones), conditions (for digital outputs), address and register (for digital bus ones). • Via Opton’s Sensor Library. Instead of changing settings manually, select a specific measurement and a sensor, related to this measurement. Optionally, also change the measuring units. All settings are updated automatically. Refer to the corresponding screen shots in Chapter 22. REMAINING SETTINGS • There are other settings to be adjusted, such as the recording interval(selectable from 1 sec to 1 hour) the logger’s site name, the data recording mode within the interval (only average values or average, min, max and sdv values) and the GPRS settings (APN, User Name, Password). • More specifically, there is another option. You canreceive SMSs and Emails:Receive the daily data file via Email (Available in both the GSM and the Ethernetversion). Receive SMSs (GSM version): the average channel values every interval or every day, an alarm if a control output changes state, or a PhotoVoltaic (PV) alarm indicating faulty operation in a solar plant with multiple inverters. • Alternatively, in dynamic IP GRPS connections (via Diameson server) and in the Ethernet version (also via Diameson), instead of SMS, data and alarms can be sent to a web database, Captum, to a specific user account and to this account’s email.Interval data and alarms can be plotted in Captum, alarms can be shown in a table, while data statistics are presented in bar graphs per hour, per day of the month, per day of the week and per month. Refer to the corresponding screen shots in Chapter 23.

  22. 20. OPTON: ACQUISITION AND DOWNLOAD • After writing the desired setup in the datalogger, enable/ disable data acquisition to create data files, stored in the 4MB memory. When enabling acquisition, a new file begins. • Files are stored in the logger’s memory in compressed form. • When downloaded, a compressed file is decompressed into a data file, which can be viewed via a text editor. Compressed and decompressed data files are stored in the logger’s site folder, as mentioned in Chapter 18. • Data download can be achieved either manually or automatically via AutoConnect software (see Chapter 24). MANUAL DOWNLOAD There are 2types of manual download: • Download the most recent file. If Acquisition is ON, this is the current file. In this case, the current file is firstly closed (the next file begins) and then downloaded. • Download one or more consecutive previous files, by typing their number.

  23. 21. OPTON: OFFLINE DATA MANAGEMENT After downloading the data files in the site folder, you can manage them offline. Opton offers some useful tools for offline management and presentation: • Plot. View the selected channels’ plot, in up to 3 graph groups.View values at aspecific moment with the channel units.Refer to the corresponding screen shot in Chapter 23. • Data File Processing. Check the integrity of a folder’s files, ie check for missing or duplicate records or if the interval is the same for all files. • Statistics. Statistics of the file’s data can appear per hour, per day, per month and per year. Statistics include be the average values of the data (within the hour, day, month or year), the max, min or sdv values, or sum of all values. They are presented via a bar graph or a dot plot.Refer to the corresponding screen shot in Chapter 23. • Export to WindRose/Excel/.CSV/.TAB file. Export a file’s data to an Excel, a comma delimited or a tab delimited file. Especially for wind data (speed and direction channels), you can export them to WindRose, the wind analysis software, add-in to the Microsoft Excel, which is manufactured by CRESand distributed by Symmetron.For WindRose,refer to the corresponding screen shot in Chapter 23.

  26. 24. AUTOCONNECT SOFTWARE • As stated before, data files can be downloaded manually, via Opton, via any connection. • However, data download, along with other actions as well, can be preformed automatically, in a regular basis, via the additional free software AutoConnect. • The datalogger can perform a different action each weekday: • Download Data: All data files missing from the folder. • Download Status: Instant parameters, such as the current file, the recording time remaining, etc. • Download Current Values. Get the instant channel values. • The selected action of a weekday can be performed once a day at a specific selected time, or infinite connections can be made that weekday every as many minutes as you wish. • Besides editing the auto connections (like in Opton) via AutoConnect’s interface, you can: • View a list of all your automatic connections and execute one or more manually. • Check each connection’s latest status, ie if it succeeded, or failed and why. • View the date and time of last connection and last successful download for each one.

  27. 25. MAIN APPLICATIONS AND CONCLUSION Stylitis-10 could be used in: • Electrical Measurements. • Weather stations. • Wind energy assessment. • Solar plant monitoring and faulty operation detection via alarm. • Remote control of relays. • Fire prevention networks. …and many more Summing up, its main advantages are: • Combination of analog and digital bus channels in a competitive price. • Variety of communication methods. • Free operating and automatic connection software. • Combination of input channels with control outputs. • Portability, thanks to its small size. • Alarm and data SMS and data Emails sent to a specified recipient. • Data and alarms sent to a web database, accessed via your personal account.
