ZENO®-3200 1. USER MANUAL INTRODUCTION Coastal Environmental Systems ZENO®-3200 User Manual WHAT IS THE ZENO®-3200? 1.1. The ZENO®-3200 is the world's first intelligent, versatile, low-power, 32-bit data acquisition system designed to collect, process, store and transmit data from multiple sensors.
ZENO®-3200 USER MANUAL • What each sensor is. • When to collect the data from each sensor. • How to process the collected data. • Which data values define a single data record to be logged into logging memory. • When to log into memory and/or transmit the data record. • Whether to generate one or more alarm messages. • Which telephone numbers to dial (up to 4 telephone numbers), if an alarm message is to be sent via a telephone modem.
ZENO®-3200 • USER MANUAL Frequency inputs: Up to 100 kHz at 0.005% accuracy. 1.3.3. Sensor and Auxiliary Power Outputs • Sensor excitation: Five switched excitation outputs for software selectable voltages of 1.25, 2.50, 5.00, with basic accuracy of 0.01% at up to 100 mA. Long-term stability of 20 ppm over 1000 hours, with most of the drift occurring within the first 100 hours. • Reference outputs: one fixed, for sensor signal offsets. • Power outputs (switched).
ZENO®-3200 USER MANUAL In practice, the best available sample rate is often rather lower than this. If multiple sensors are being read, with different excitation voltages or powers, the ZENO®-3200 must wait for the system to settle before beginning a conversion. Because the ZENO®-3200 is a multi-tasking system8, if a great deal of processing or message-transmission is required, then the CPU cannot revisit the ADC task immediately once each conversion is complete.
ZENO®-3200 2. USER MANUAL ZENO®-3200 BASICS Coastal Environmental Systems ZENO®-3200 User Manual 2.1. THE ZENO®-3200 FRONT PANEL The ZENO®-3200 Front Panel, illustrated in , allows easy access to nearly all external connections to the ZENO®-3200. Only a 1/8-inch screwdriver9 is required to attach wires to connections along the four terminal strips.
ZENO®-3200 USER MANUAL Serial communications Analog outputs Data storage Regulated power and reference sensor drivers. Single on-board, battery-backed memory chip with 64 kbyte to 1 Mbyte memory. Up to 8 Mbyte of flash logging memory is available. Three hardware UART ports with multi-plexing capability to intelligent sensors, additional linked ZENO®s, other systems or communication devices.
ZENO®-3200 2.2. USER MANUAL COMMUNICATING WITH AND POWERING UP THE ZENO®-3200 You will need four things to begin communicating with ZENO®-3200: 1. Communication with the ZENO®-3200 is done via a PC, a Macintosh or any other computer running a standard, commercially available terminal emulation program (such as Crosstalk, Mirror, Microsoft Windows® Terminal, Microsoft Windows® Hyperterminal, or ProComm®). 2.
ZENO®-3200 USER MANUAL 4. The ZENO®-3200 requires a power source of 10 to16 VDC. You can either apply power to the ZENO®-3200 using the 12 VDC power adapter provided by Coastal Environmental Systems, or you can connect to your own 10 to 16 VDC power supply. If you are using your own power supply, connect power to the points labeled "POWER" on the terminal strip labeled "SERIAL DATA, POWER AND GROUNDS" on top of the ZENO®-3200. See Figure 2-3. Power (+/-) COM3 port DC power plug (+ center) Figure 2-3.
ZENO®-3200 USER MANUAL 2.3.1. RAM Each ZENO®-3200 is shipped with a minimum of 256 kilobytes of static RAM.10 The RAM is the working memory in the ZENO®-3200. It is used to store the active configuration, the logged data records and the internal data that is used by ZENOSOFT® to perform the operations necessary for the active configuration. Since the ZENO®-3200 is used in harsh environments, there is a possibility that there will be momentary losses of power to the ZENO®-3200.
ZENO®-3200 USER MANUAL Once you are done creating or modifying the configuration, it is recommended that you save your configuration to EEPROM in the event that there is a loss of power. Only those configuration changes that have been stored in EEPROM will be retrieved when the ZENO®-3200 is turned on. Any configuration changes stored only in RAM will be lost when the ZENO®-3200 is turned off. 2.4.
ZENO®-3200 USER MANUAL • Changes to process definitions, including addition or deletion of processes. • Changes to logged data record definitions, including addition or deletion of specific data values to the data record. • Uploading an entire configuration file from a computer, or downloading an entire configuration to a computer. • Changing User Menu and Zeno Program Menu access passwords. A complete listing of the User Interface menu structure is provided in Appendix B.
ZENO®-3200 USER MANUAL Sensor Record #1 is the first sensor in the configuration, Sensor Record #2 is the second sensor in the configuration and so on. HSTn Provides information about specific SENSOR TYPE number n, where n is a number designating the sensor type. This command is available within any User Interface menu.

ZENO®-3200 USER MANUAL 3.1.3. Understanding & Changing the Sample Interval and Power Usage One of the most important aspects to understand about the ZENO®-3200 is timing. All data collection done by the ZENO®-3200 is based upon regular timed intervals that are controlled by the ZENO®-3200's internal clock. The main timed interval is called the Sample Interval. The Sample Interval defines the overall, recurring period of time that all data collection, processing, data logging and transmitting occurs.
ZENO®-3200 USER MANUAL Sample Interval Sample Duration |---------------------------------------| |-------------------------------------| | 60 seconds 55 seconds Physically, when the ZENO®-3200 is collecting data, ZENOSOFT® turns on various internal components in order to read data from the various sensors. Hence, the Sample Duration not only represents the time when data is being collected, but also the time when the ZENO®-3200 is consuming more power.

The Sample Interval nearly always begins at a time that is divisible by the Sample Interval Time, whose modulus is zero. Here are some examples: • If the Sample Interval Time is set to on hour (3600 seconds), each Sample Interval will begin on the hour. • If the Sample Interval Time is set to fifteen minutes (900 seconds), each Sample Interval will begin on the quarter hour.
ZENO®-3200 • USER MANUAL Going to the Data Retrieval Menu (type U{ENTER} D{ENTER}), and looking at the logged data. It is important to remember that as long as you don't save your configuration changes to EEPROM (by typing E{ENTER}), you can always retrieve the original configuration by powering down your ZENO®3200. When it powers up, the original configuration stored in EEPROM will be copied into RAM and become the working configuration.
ZENO®-3200 USER MANUAL 12. How much and how often do I want the ZENO®-3200 to perform the configuration; i.e., what Sample Interval, Sample Duration and Sample Offset will be used? Other questions may arise, or some may not be important; but each of the listed questions should be answered so that "no stone is left uncovered." For an illustration of creating a simple configuration, let's use the configuration that was used throughout Part One of the Tutorial Section.
ZENO®-3200 USER MANUAL ZENO®-3200 Configuration Recipe Card 1. Configure the sensors. 2. Configure the processes. 3. Configure the data to be logged & transmitted. 4. Set all other configuration settings. Configuring the sensors, processes and data outputs are all done through the Zeno Program Menu. The ZENO®-3200 does not perform any data collection, data processing or logging & transmitting while you are in the Zeno Program Menu or any of its submenus.

ZENO®-3200 USER MANUAL Error Code.40 You can view the available outputs of any Process Record at any time by typing this command in any ZENO®-3200 menu. For our example configuration, one more Process Record needs to be defined that will calculate the average of the Battery Voltage that is read by Sensor Record #2. To do that, we need to insert a new Process Record after the current one using the A{ENTER} command.
ZENO®-3200 USER MANUAL Since you have reached another milestone during the configuration process, it is a good idea to save the configuration again to EEPROM in case there is a power surge. Return to the Zeno Program Menu by typing the command Z{ENTER}, then type the command E{ENTER}. 3.2.5.

ZENO®-3200 4. USER MANUAL RETRIEVING LOGGED DATA Coastal Environmental Systems ZENO®-3200 User Manual When you use your ZENO®-3200 for retrieving logged Data Records, ZENOSOFT® stores the Data Records in sequential order. Each Data Record consists of a timestamp (the date and time) as well as the data values to be logged. The data values being logged are defined in the Data Output Menu. The time interval between successive, regularly logged Data Records is always the same as long as: 1.
ZENO®-3200 USER MANUAL If you need to adjust the internal ZENO®-3200 clock backward, to avoid data records with overlapping timestamps, Coastal Environmental Systems recommends that you either: 1. Only set the clock back to a time not earlier than the timestamp of the most recent logged data record, or 2.
ZENO®-3200 USER MANUAL The content of each Data Record is defined in the Data Output Menu.51 The Field Name defined for any Data Output Record that logs a data value is displayed as a columnar heading above the retrieved Data Records. If no Field Name is defined for a particular Data Output Record, then the columnar heading will be blank. 4.1.1.
ZENO®-3200 USER MANUAL You would type the command L5{ENTER} in the Data Retrieval Menu and your display will look something like this: DATA (A) (B) (Ln) (*) (@n) (M) (C) RETRIEVAL MENU Show Records AFTER Specified Time Show Records BETWEEN Timespan Show LAST n Records Show ALL Data Records Show n Unmarked Records Mark Recently Shown Data Compute Data Logging Capacity (F) (D) (N) (U) (Q) (H) Flash Memory Information Delete All Data Records Number of Records Logged User Menu Quit Help Precede Any "Show
ZENO®-3200 USER MANUAL NOTE: The M command will work regardless of when the last @n command was used, even if you have left and re-entered the user interface in the mean time. 4.1.4. Viewing All of The Logged Data Records Option “*” in the Data Retrieval Menu shows all of the logged Data Records starting from the oldest and continuing through to the most recently logged Data Record.
ZENO®-3200 USER MANUAL • DD is the day (1 to 31) • HH is the hour of day (00 to 23) • MM is the minute (00 to 59) • SS is the seconds (00 to 59) 4.1.6. Downloading Data Records Into A File As A Text Dump When you want to download Data Records from the ZENO®-3200 into a computer, there are two ways you can retrieve data: • Using a simple text dump • Using the X-modem protocol To download Data Records into a file, your terminal emulation program needs to be equipped with a "File Capture" mode.
ZENO®-3200 USER MANUAL The X-modem protocol should be used on any communications interface that is prone to noise. The X-modem protocol is limited to bi-directional communication interfaces only. To use the X-modem protocol, your terminal emulation program needs to support X-modem file retrieval.54 The X-modem protocol can be used when downloading Data Records from the ZENO®-3200 using any of the data retrieval options available in the Data Retrieval Menu.
ZENO®-3200 USER MANUAL In this particular case, the total amount of memory for data logging is 127,420 bytes. The size of each Data Record is 8 bytes. Therefore, the total number of Data Records that can be stored is 15,927, which is the whole-number quotient of 127,420 ÷ 8. The Maximum Data Time Span is the maximum amount of time that the maximum number of Data Records will fill the available data logging memory. From the example configuration described in Section 3.1, the Sample Interval is 60 seconds.

There are several different formatting options available for the real time output messages. Line item #4 in the System Functions Menu sets the Real Time Output Message Format.
ZENO®-3200 USER MANUAL -1,000,000 is referred to as the Bad Sensor Value.
ZENO®-3200 USER MANUAL Coastal Environmental Systems’ PC application, Intercept™ uses the CCSAIL Communications Protocol to communicate with one or more remote ZENO®-3200s. The CCSAIL Communications Protocol provides a set of specific commands that can retrieve Data Records, change internal ZENO®-3200 settings and even change an existing ZENO®-3200 configuration. 4.6.1.
ZENO®-3200 USER MANUAL The Destination and Source Addresses must each be four characters in length. The range of valid values for each character is 0 through 9. (This is the same as the ASCII characters ranging from 48 to 58.) Therefore, the four-character range of each address is 0000 to 9999. 9999 is the universal CCSAIL address.
ZENO®-3200 USER MANUAL The ZENO®-3200 only responds to a validated CCSAIL message. The response is in the form of another CCSAIL message.

HARDWARE HANDSHAKING The ZENO®-3200 always monitors the DCD line, whether or not it is set up for modem communications. To conserve power, the ZENO®-3200 only sets its serial ports to receive commands when DCD is asserted.
ZENO®-3200 USER MANUAL The ZENO®-3200 does not actively assert/de-assert RTS. Instead, the cables are specified to make RTS follow CTS at all times. If your modem can be set to ignore RTS, you can use a standard straight-through cable to connect the ZENO®-3200 to a modem.94 6.4. TELEPHONE MODEMS The ZENO®-3200 can connect to most standard, off-the-shelf telephone modems.

ZENO®-3200 USER MANUAL A modem connection to COM3 has been specified in the Modem Menu but the COM3 CTS signal is not present. This may prevent the ZENO-3200 from transmitting characters. Check that the Modem COM Port and/or the Modem Type items in the Modem Menu are set up properly. This message simply indicates that the ZENO®-3200 is monitoring communication lines and has determined that it is not connected to an active telephone modem. Regular messages will therefore not be transmitted.
ZENO®-3200 USER MANUAL the correct cable (typically the manufacturer’s modem cable). If you still receive no response, refer to the modem manufacturer’s troubleshooting guide. Once you have established communications with your modem, you need to change the settings listed in the following table. Give the commands in the order listed, with each command followed by {ENTER}.
ZENO®-3200 USER MANUAL *WARNING: If you wish the ZENO®-3200 to dial out, DIP switch #3 must be Down, rather than Up as shown here. The ZENO®-3200 monitors CTS; however, it does not set RTS. The cable forces RTS to follow CTS at all times. The ZENO®-3200 monitors the DCD line, and does not transmit any characters, or respond to any commands unless DCD is asserted. This hardware handshaking will be handled correctly if you use the correct cables as provided by Coastal.
ZENO®-3200 USER MANUAL We also recommend that you force the baud rate between the two modems to 9600 baud. This is the first command in the table above. This ensures that there can be no data overruns.103 Auto-Answer On Auto-Answer is the parameter that describes whether and when the modem picks up incoming calls. For modems that are on continuously, in order to dial up the ZENO®-3200 and communicate with it, you must switch Auto-Answer on.
ZENO®-3200 USER MANUAL Echo Off Normally, a modem echoes all commands it receives. for example, if you send the attention string AT to a modem, it responds immediately with AT, so that you see the command as well as the response OK on the screen. It is important to switch off the echo, to avoid indefinite communications loops such as those discussed above. Non-Volatile Memory When you set up a modem configuration, typically the settings are held in working memory.

From your computer connected directly to the cellular modem or from the ZENO®-3200's Passthrough Mode, type AT{ENTER}. The modem should respond with OK.
ZENO®-3200 USER MANUAL 2. Device Type: Your cellular provider may ask you to identify the type of device that you are activating on their network. The device type can be obtained from the modem documentation. Two common types are Motorola Radio and Standard Communications CMR4100 radio. After you have established an account with your cellular provider, you need to request the following information from your cellular provider: 1.
ZENO®-3200 USER MANUAL Configuring and using the UDP PAD service requires familiarity with AT commands. In particular, an understanding of the +WS registers from +WS60 to +WS74 (as described in the AT Command Reference Manual) is essential. The Sierra Wireless MP200 has two states: the command state and the data state. When the UDP PAD service is selected (+WS45=0), the modem is in command state.
ZENO®-3200 USER MANUAL Forwarding a CDPD Packet The cellular modem closes and sends a packet when one of the following events occurs: • The maximum packet length, set in register +WS74 (default 1000 bytes), is reached. • The modem receives the PAD Primary Forwarding Character set in register +WS64. This register defaults to ASCII character {CR} (decimal value 13). • The PAD Inter-Character Timer (register +WS70) expires.
ZENO®-3200 USER MANUAL Type AT+WPNEI=aaa.aaa.aaa.aaa{ENTER} where aaa.aaa.aaa.aaa is the TCP/IP address specified for the particular modem NEI114. The modem will respond with the question Change ccc.ccc.ccc.ccc to aaa.aaa.aaa.aaa? (where ccc.ccc.ccc.ccc is the current value for the NEI specified in register +WS197). The expected response is Y{ENTER} (upper or lower case); otherwise, the NEI will not be changed. Type AT+WPREG{ENTER} to register the new NEI with the network.
ZENO®-3200 USER MANUAL The ZENO®-3200 radio and your host must have good Line of Site (LOS) for effective radio communication. The CCSAIL protocol should be used to download data because of its built-in checksum for error checking115 for either unidirectional or bi-directional communication. The X-modem file transfer protocol is also good for noisy communications links because it can only be used with two-way radio communication since it is bi-directional.

ZENO®-3200 USER MANUAL Due to their fine, as opposed to coarse, resolution 18-bit ADC measurements are highly susceptible to noise. A single 18-bit ADC measurement is generally only accurate to 15 bits. To obtain 18-bit accuracy, at least 3 consecutive measurements must be made by setting Line Item #10, the Sensor Sample Count, to 3. Three consecutive 18-bit ADC measurements will require a minimum of 300 milliseconds.

ZENO®-3200 USER MANUAL All SDI-12 and CCSAIL sensors are designed to be used where there is more than one sensor present on a single communications link. for this reason, Line Item #17 is used by both SDI-12 and CCSAIL sensors to designate the address of the serial sensor. Sensors using the NMEA 0183 protocol are not addressable, but may be using optional checksum verification.
ZENO®-3200 USER MANUAL Coastal Environmental Systems recommends that any communications port that is being used to collect data from a serial sensor should be excluded from the User Interface.184 If the ZENO®-3200 attempts to look for access to the User Interface on a communications port that is configured to collect data from a serial sensor, the ZENO®-3200 may interfere with data collection to that serial sensor. 10.3.6.
ZENO®-3200 USER MANUAL Sample Interval Sample Duration Sensor Timing Loop |---------------------------------------| |-------------------------------------| | ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ 20s 19s 2.5s Sensor Reading at each ^ The Sensor Timing Loop (Line Item #12) defines how often the ZENO®-3200 will take a reading from the sensor through a Sample Duration. There are four Sample Timing Loops and they are numbered 1 through 4. The period of each Sensor Timing Loop is defined in seconds.
ZENO®-3200 USER MANUAL Coastal Environmental Systems recommends that the period length of each Sensor Timing Loop should increase with Sensor Timing Loop index number. This is not necessary, but it makes it easier to remember which Sensor Timing Loop has the longer period length. 10.3.8. Setting The Maximum Number of Readings You can specify a limit to the number of readings taken from a sensor over the course of the Sample Duration. This is done using Line Item #11. In Section 10.3.
ZENO®-3200 USER MANUAL Count. When the Sensor Sample Count is set to one, only one measurement for the analog or digital sensor is taken at each Sensor Timing Loop period. When the Sensor Sample Count is greater than one, the ZENO®-3200 will take more than one measurement of the analog or digital sensor and report the average of all measurements taken. In Section 10.3.
ZENO®-3200 USER MANUAL The ZENO®-3200 conserves power by turning on a switched voltage only when a sensor is read. In the event that more than one sensor can be powered by a single switched voltage, the ZENO®-3200 turns on the switched voltage as long as at least one sensor requires power. Line Item #6 is used to assign one of the five switched voltages in the Sensor Menu. The following table below indicates the maximum current available from each source.
ZENO®-3200 USER MANUAL The ZENO®-3200 will turn on a switched voltage before the start of a Sample Interval when the sensor requires time to warm up. If the Sensor Warm-up Time is set to a value longer than the Sample Interval, the ZENO®-3200 will always keep the designated Switched Voltage on. If more than one sensor is on the same Switched Voltage and all require warm-up time, the Switched Voltage will be turned on based upon the sensor with the longest warm-up time.
ZENO®-3200 USER MANUAL The ZENO®-3200 sets the Excitation Voltage to the value specified in Line Item #7 and turns on the Excitation Voltage Return Channel specified in Line Item #8 only when a measurement from the sensor is being taken. Sensor Warm-up Time DOES NOT APPLY to the Excitation Voltage. DO NOT USE the Excitation Voltage IF your sensor requires a warm-up time.
ZENO®-3200 USER MANUAL If your sensor output is linear192, then coefficient A is always zero. In the case of linear sensor, to calculate B and C, you need to know the following values: • The output voltage range of the sensor, vmin to vmax. • The corresponding range in engineering units, xmin to xmax. The slope B is given by the equation: The offset C is given by the equation: As an example, a sensor voltage range is 0 to 2.
ZENO®-3200 USER MANUAL In the case of parabolic (or near-parabolic) sensor outputs, three sensor voltage readings along with their corresponding scaled values must be known in order to calculate the three coefficients A, B and C: • The three sensor voltage readings are defined by v1, v2 and v3. • The three corresponding scaled values are defined by x1, x2 and x3 respectively.

ALARM MESSAGES Coastal Environmental Systems ZENO®-3200 User Manual One of the most important features of the ZENO®-3200 is its ability to transmit unsolicited alarm messages. A regular output message is transmitted by the ZENO®-3200 on a regular schedule. But an alarm message is transmitted when a specific condition occurs, which makes them completely asynchronous. An alarm condition is defined by configuring the appropriate processes, especially Alarm Processes.
ZENO®-3200 USER MANUAL You may configure as many as 4 alarm messages in your ZENO®-3200. 11.1. CONFIGURING AN ALARM CONDITION Configuring an alarm condition can be done by carrying out the following steps: 1. Identify the one or more parameters that constitute an alarm condition, including the valid ranges of the parameters. 2. Determine what sensor readings are required to measure the parameters. 3. Determine what processes are needed to process the parameters, including the Alarm Processes.
ZENO®-3200 USER MANUAL The description of this process in Appendix D, Line Item #5 (the Alarm Set-point) is set to 11 and Line Item #6 (the Alarm Reset) is set to 12. When the value referenced by Line Item #4 (the Input for Data) falls below 11, the Alarm Process will indicate that an alarm condition exists. Conversely, when the value referenced by Line Item #4 goes above 12, the alarm condition will be reset. In this example, you are setting an alarm based upon measured battery voltage.
ZENO®-3200 USER MANUAL • Use Conditional Start and Conditional Stop Data Output Records (refer to Section 10.6.9) to add additional information to a regular message for an alarm message. • Transmit a completely different output message for your alarm message. • Log the alarm message.
ZENO®-3200 USER MANUAL You can also configure a single output message to be an alarm message and not have a regularly transmitted output message. To distinguish each Data Output Record, for which an output message applies, you need to configure Line Item #2 in each Data Output Record (the Output Message) accordingly.234 To transmit (and possibly log) the unique alarm message, follow the instructions in Section 11.3. 11.3.
ZENO®-3200 USER MANUAL 11.3.1. Selecting The Communications Port To Transmit The Alarm Message If you have created a unique alarm message as a separate output message, you can transmit it on a different communications port from your regular output message. To do this, follow the instructions in Section 10.7.1. You can configure your regular output message to be transmitted as an alarm message on a different communications port as your regular message.
ZENO®-3200 USER MANUAL You must select the same communications port in the Output Message Timing Menu for the alarm message that is specified as the Modem COM Port in the Modem Menu242! • Define up to four telephone numbers for the ZENO®-3200 to dial via the telephone modem or cellular modem in Line Items #5 through #8 in the Modem Menu. A valid telephone number is one that contains any of the digits 0 through 9, and any of the extra characters -*#,(). A space is not a valid character.
ZENO®-3200 USER MANUAL A GOES transmitter is limited to transmitting self-timed (regularly scheduled) messages only or random (alarm) messages only. It cannot do both simultaneously.243 If you need to transmit alarm messages via a GOES transmitter, you will need to set up its random message settings instead of the self-timed settings.
ZENO®-3200 USER MANUAL REMEMBER: a message to the ARGOS satellite is limited to 32 bytes! To configure the ARGOS transmitter for an alarm message, use the following steps: • Follow the procedures to set up the ARGOS transmitter communications link.249 • Follow the recommended procedures to define an alarm condition and create an alarm message in Sections 11.1 and 11.2 respectively. • Designate which output message is the alarm message using a Dial-out Alarm Process or Multiple Alarm Process.
ZENO®-3200 USER MANUAL 12. ADVANCED ZENO®3200 CONFIGURATION TOPICS Coastal Environmental Systems ZENO®-3200 User Manual This section describes several topics of an advanced nature. You should not read this section until you have a good understanding of creating basic ZENO®-3200 configurations.
ZENO®-3200 USER MANUAL Figure 12.1. ZENO®-3200 Timing Structure Diagram. 12.1.2. The ZENO®-3200 Internal Clock The basis of all ZENO®-3200 timing is its internal clock, which is a device on the ZENO®-3200 CPU board. The internal clock operates at a frequency of 16.777 MHz, meaning that the ZENO®-3200 requires approximately 0.119 microseconds to carry out each instruction of ZENOSOFT®.
ZENO®-3200 USER MANUAL The RTOS is analogous to the Microsoft Windows™ operating system that runs on most personal computers. However, an RTOS is designed and optimized to run with a minimal amount of code and using a very small amount of memory because software applications that require an RTOS have many time-critical functions. An RTOS allows a multitasking software application (such as ZENOSOFT®) to perform all of its functions within as little time as possible. 12.1.4.
ZENO®-3200 USER MANUAL Timing is an ever-present parameter that must be taken into account throughout any ZENO®-3200 configuration. As stated in Section 3.1.3, all data collection done by the ZENO®-3200 is based upon regular timed intervals controlled by the ZENO®-3200's internal clock. This regular timed interval is called the Sample Interval. The Sample Interval defines the overall, recurring period of time during which all data collection, processing, data logging, and transmission occurs.
ZENO®-3200 USER MANUAL There are four Sensor Timing Loops. Each Sensor Timing Loop defines how often the ZENO®-3200 takes a reading from the sensor (or sensors) utilizing the Sensor Timing Loop during the Sample Duration.
ZENO®-3200 USER MANUAL It is very important that the time set in the Sensor Timing Loop for the sensor is greater than the maximum amount of time that the sensor requires to collect data. If the Sensor Timing Loop time is less than the time that the sensor requires to collect data, the ZENO®-3200 will be unable to measure the sensor at the rate specified in the Sensor Timing Loop. 12.1.6.
ZENO®-3200 USER MANUAL The Sample Duration Time must be set to a value greater than or equal to TOnce in order for the ZENO®-3200 to collect data from each Sensor Record at least once. • If your Sample Duration Time is much greater than TOnce and the Maximum Sensor Readings, Line Item #11 in the Sensor Menu, of at least one Sensor Record is not set to one, the ZENO®-3200 will take multiple measurements.
ZENO®-3200 USER MANUAL The time that is required by each sensor to make a measurement must be taken into account for the ZENO®-3200 to measure each sensor properly when the sensors share a common resource. The following is a list of the single resources on the ZENO®-3200 that will be shared when more than one Sensor Record uses it.256 Potentially Shared Resource 12-bit ADC 18-bit ADC COM1 COM2 COM3 Details There is a single 12-bit ADC multiplexed between several channels.
ZENO®-3200 • USER MANUAL If you plan to read each sensor N times, then the total time required to read all of the sensors N times is defined by the next equation: TTotal = N × TOnce If the total time required to read all Sensor Records (Ttotal) exceeds the Sample Duration, the Sample Duration Time will need to be increased to a value greater than or equal to Ttotal. This may include increasing the Sample Interval Time.257 • Use a common Sensor Timing Loop for the listed Sensor Records.
ZENO®-3200 USER MANUAL If Ttotal is less than the Sample Duration Time, the ZENO®-3200 will NOT be able to collect data from all of the Sensor Records at the rates specified by the Sensor Timing Loops. Instead, the Sensor Records will be read less frequently than specified and with fewer collections than expected.
ZENO®-3200 USER MANUAL If User Interface accessibility is periodically disrupted by your configuration, you have two options: 1) attempt to simplify the configuration to reduce timing stress, or 2) send more than one polling command to the ZENO®-3200 until you gain access to the User Interface. 12.2.

ZENO®-3200 USER MANUAL Examples of using Line Item #25 include: • Only collecting data from a sensor when a specific condition exists. • Using the General Serial Sensor type to send initialization commands to the sensor if no data is being collected from the sensor. 12.2.3. The General Serial Script Menu (In Brief) The General Serial Script Menu is accessed from the Zeno Program Menu by typing the command G{ENTER}. Up to six independent scripts can be defined.
ZENO®-3200 USER MANUAL The ZENO®-3200 will return the floating-point values 15.2, 55.999, and -15.3; the string values YELLOW and F; and the long integer 256000. (Placing an * in a format field tells the ZENO®-3200 that the field is to be ignored.) Most of the menu options in the General Serial Script Menu have identical functions to those for Sensor Record (refer to Section 10.
ZENO®-3200 USER MANUAL Changing one of these parameters will change the total amount of memory available for data logging. Hence, any logged data records will be deleted when a value is changed. The number of data records that can be stored may also be changed. To determine the amount of memory required for a USI sensor, look at all the USI sensors configured on a single communications port. Determine how much memory is required to store an entire string from the remote sensor.
ZENO®-3200 USER MANUAL The contents of a Command Line are changed using menu option Cn/m{ENTER} in the General Serial Script Menu, where n is the Command Line number and m is the new command string for the Command Line n. When you change the contents of a Script Record Command Line, you must adhere to the syntax specific to the command being specified. When you change the contents of a Command Line, the ZENO®-3200 verifies that the syntax is correct in the Cn/m command (or from a configuration file).
ZENO®-3200 USER MANUAL • Hand-edit the downloaded configuration file using a standard text editor, such as Microsoft Notepad. • Upload the edited configuration file back into the ZENO®-3200.271 When you upload the hand-edited configuration file into the ZENO®-3200, do NOT use the X-modem protocol so that you can view any possible reported syntax errors reported by the ZENO®-3200. 12.2.6.
ZENO®-3200 Command FLOAT n LONG n STRING n (l1[, l2[, …,ln]]) USER MANUAL Category VDC SET_CHECKSUM type, mod [, offset] NO_COMMAND SEND "format_specifier" [,value1 [,value 2…]] RECEIVE time, "format_specifier" [,value1 [,value 2…]] WAIT time TURN state channel AC Brief Description Declares "n" values to be stored for the specified value type. Declares the type of checksum verification is used in the serial sensor message. No action is taken.
ZENO®-3200 USER MANUAL Each string value will be referred to as S1, S2, etc. within the remainder of the Script Record. . With respect to the Sensor Record that refers to this Script Record, these values can be inputs to Data Output Records as specified in Section 10.4.4. SET_CHECKSUM type, modulus [, offset] Defines how checksums will be calculated within the Script Record. The permitted checksum types are listed below.273 The checksum type can be entered in either uppercase or lowercase.
ZENO®-3200 USER MANUAL The serial communications port specified in the Sensor Record is allocated to the serial sensor throughout this time – another sensor cannot use the port while the Script Record is waiting. SEND format_specifier [,value1 [,value 2. . . . ]] Instructs the ZENO®-3200 to transmit the string that is specified in the Format Specifier along with any optional values, to the sensor. The communications port used is the one specified in the Sensor Record referencing this Script Record.
ZENO®-3200 USER MANUAL The checksum Special Value, sCS, may not be referenced before the SET_CHECKSUM command is used. If a Special Value (checksum sCS or the sensor address sID) is referenced in the value list, the ZENO®-3200 will check that the value was received correctly. If a specified Special Value is not properly received, the received sensor data line will be rejected. If the string is not received in the specified time, the ZENO®-3200 will flag an error and quit the Command Line.
ZENO®-3200 USER MANUAL Three types of information can be used in the Format Specifier: Type of Information in Format Specifier Regular Text Special Characters Data Fields Description Any literal, printable ASCII characters excluding the three characters ", % and \. Non-printable, literal characters that are designated with at least two characters, the first one always being \. Indicate that the characters will be translated numerically or as a string. Starting character is always a %.
ZENO®-3200 Data Field %% %f %nf %n.mf %ld %nld %lx, %lX %nlx, %nlX %s %ns USER MANUAL Description Represents character %. Indicates a floating-point number will be retrieved. If n is used, it indicates the total number of characters used. If m is used, it indicates the number of characters that follow the decimal point. Indicates a long integer number will be retrieved. If n is used, it indicates the total number of characters used. Indicates a hexadecimal, long integer number will be retrieved.
ZENO®-3200 USER MANUAL Determine exactly what is contained in a sensor's data message. If not completely certain, store and/or view the entire sensor's message by storing the whole message in a single string. • What Are Power & Communication Requirements? Determine the correct port type required (RS232, RS485, etc.), baud rate, number of start bits, number of stop bits required to talk to the sensor.
ZENO®-3200 USER MANUAL • Troubleshooting the RECEIVE Command Format Specifier Once communication is established with a sensor, but the individual data fields cannot be parsed, the problem is with the primary RECEIVE command that parses the received string. Observe closely the message that has been received in the single string and compare it with the Format Specifier in the primary RECEIVE parsing line. • Key Tips to Writing an Effective Format Specifier 1.
ZENO®-3200 USER MANUAL communications port that supports one or more serial sensors can cause interference with both data collection and User Interface communications. Coastal Environmental Systems recommends that you reserve one communications port (either COM1 or COM3) for bi-directional User Interface communication. Since COM2 is fully multiplexed and since it provides four independent communication routes, Coastal Environmental Systems recommends that you start with COM2 for locating serial sensors.
ZENO®-3200 USER MANUAL In operation and properly configured, the primary ZENO®-3200 will regularly broadcast its data message to the secondary ZENO®-3200's. The secondary ZENO®-3200's will use the data received from the primary ZENO®-3200 as required. The primary ZENO®-3200 will then poll each of the secondary ZENO®-3200's for their data as required.
ZENO®-3200 USER MANUAL 13. ELECTRICAL CONSIDERATIONS Coastal Environmental Systems ZENO®-3200 User Manual 13.1. THE ZENO®-3200 ENCLOSURE The ZENO®-3200 enclosure is NOT watertight, moisture-resistant or weatherproof! If you plan to install the ZENO®-3200 outdoors, it must be sheltered to protect it from condensation and weather. 13.2.
ZENO®-3200 USER MANUAL • DC offset voltages arise due to large currents flowing through the ground return paths that have a significant resistance. This resistive coupling can be reduced by providing separate ground wires for each sensor. Use a large enough wire gauge in the sensor leads to prevent voltage drops due to wire resistance; otherwise, more significant, resistive-coupling errors can arise.
ZENO®-3200 • USER MANUAL Sensor ground (marked SGND): this ground should be used only for sensitive, single-ended sensors. Typically, sensors with a full scale voltage less than 50 mV and source impedance greater than 10 kΩ would be suitable for SGND. No harm will be caused by grounding less sensitive sensors to SGND; however, sensors returning greater currents through SGND may disturb those returning smaller currents. 13.3.
ZENO®-3200 USER MANUAL If the source “low” output is connected to ground (either directly or through a high resistance) then the connection shown in the following figure will work. HIGH LOW CH+ CH- AGND Chassis ® ZENO -3200 Figure 13-3. Connecting a Differential Circuit. However, in quite a few cases the output will be fully floating. In these cases you must provide a return path by adding a resistor between the ZENO®-3200 analog ground and the sensor/source.
ZENO®-3200 13.4. USER MANUAL THE ZENO®-3200 CPU BOARD The following is a diagram of the ZENO®-3200 Revision A CPU board. The Revision D CPU board differs slightly in appearance in that there is a flash memory chip instead of a removable PROM, which stores the ZENOSOFT® firmware. Figure 13-5. ZENO®-3200 Revision A CPU Board. 13.5. SERIAL PORT WIRING The ZENO®-3200 data logger has three communications (COM) ports designated as COM1, COM2 and COM3.

ZENO®-3200 E. USER MANUAL CONFIGURATION FILE CONTENTS Coastal Environmental Systems ZENO®-3200 User Manual 1. CONFIGURATION FILE DEFINITION The configuration file is a text-based file generated by the ZENO®-3200. It is designed to be readable by itself or by other ZENO®-3200s. It contains all the information necessary to configure a ZENO®-3200. Each line of the configuration file begins with an Identifier (ID) code. The IDs are summarized in the following table.
ZENO®-3200 2. USER MANUAL CONTENTS OF RUN-TIME PARAMETER LINES For interested users, the following is a brief line-by-line description of the run-time parameters contained in the "PARAM" lines of a configuration file. Coastal Environmental Systems strongly recommends not modifying any run-time parameters that are italicized below because they are not generally accessible and they are not intended to be changed by the user. • Lines beginning with an asterisk * are treated as comments.

ZENO®-3200 F. USER MANUAL LIBRARY OF CCSAIL COMMANDS Coastal Environmental Systems ZENO®-3200 User Manual The ZENO®-3200 data logger supports both a user menu command line protocol and a machine interface known as CCSAIL. CCSAIL is a simple ASCII based bi-directional command-acknowledgment protocol used to set parameters or request data from a ZENO®-3200 system. For a description of the CCSAIL Message Protocol, refer to Section 4.6 in the main section of this User Manual.
ZENO®-3200 CCSAIL Command TM376 D@ DB DA DD OK NAK OPEN ERROR D* DX* DX@ DN DL DXL PTSDI LXT LXR DCHS SDO PT ER REBOOT LXB LXA SETPARAM GETPARAM SETASCII 2. USER MANUAL Requires Halted Active Data CTS Col. 9 9 9 Active Data Col.
ZENO®-3200 USER MANUAL This command is returned from either HOST or the REMOTE to indicate a negative acknowledgment for a recently received CCSAIL message with an unknown command or with an invalid parameter. EXAMPLE: #01340001NAK11(ETX) To ID 0134 from 0001, negative acknowledgement of received command. ERRORnnn, When ZENOSOFT® receives an invalid parameter for a particular configuration command, it will respond with a CCSAIL error message indicating the type of error encountered, represented by nnn.
ZENO®-3200 USER MANUAL Global or addressed time set command. No message is returned from the REMOTE in response to a global TM command, but it will respond with an OK to an addressed TM command. Time is in 24 hour format. This command is useful for synchronizing multiple ZENO®-3200 units. EXAMPLE of Global Command: #TM94100212000056(ETX) Set Date and Time to October 2, 1994, 12:00:00 PM. (ETX) represents 0x03 character.
ZENO®-3200 USER MANUAL To ID 0134 from 0001, send all data collected since last D@nn or DX@nn command. EXAMPLE: #01340001D@5,22(ETX) To ID 0134 from 0001, send 5 data records collected since the last D@nn or DX@nn command. DD This command deletes all existing data sets inside the REMOTE’s data logging memory. This command behaves similarly to option D in the Data Retrieval Menu.379 The REMOTE will return an OK message in response to this command.
ZENO®-3200 USER MANUAL DLnn, DXLnn, Request the latest, most recent nn data sets stored in data logging memory. This command behaves similarly to option L in the Data Retrieval Menu.382 The value of nn may range from 1 to 9999 inclusive, and must be comma delimited to separate it from the checksum. If the value of nn is greater than the actual number of logged data sets found, the REMOTE sends all data sets logged after the specified time, followed by an EOF string.
ZENO®-3200 USER MANUAL Request nn unmarked data sets. This command behaves similarly to option X@ in the Data Retrieval Menu.384 This is effectively the same CCSAIL command as the D@nn sequence with one notable exception; this command initiates an X-Modem protocol file transfer of all unmarked data sets. Because the X-Modem protocol inherently contains its own form of data receipt acknowledgment, the data file returned from the REMOTE will not contain a CCSAIL checksum.
ZENO®-3200 6. USER MANUAL DIGITAL OUTPUT CONTROL COMMANDS SDOxyy, This command instructs the ZENO®-3200 to turn on or off (‘n’) the specified digital output (‘yy’). Valid values for ‘n’ are 0 or 1 indicating off or on respectively. Valid values for ‘yy’ are between 18 and 23 respectively. Upon success, ZENOSOFT® responds with a CCSAIL OK. Upon failure, ZENOSOFT® responds with a CCSAIL NAK. 7.
ZENO®-3200 USER MANUAL This CCSAIL command instructs the ZENO®-3200 to immediately reboot. This behaves the same as option R in the Zeno Program Menu.388 Prior to reboot, ZENOSOFT® generates a CCSAIL OK response. 9. PASSTHROUGH MODE COMMANDS PTtttnbbbbbpd, This command instructs the ZENO®-3200 to go into passthrough mode over the specified COM port ‘n’, with type ‘ttt’, at baud rate ‘bbbbb’, with parity ‘p’ and data bits ‘d’.
ZENO®-3200 USER MANUAL ZENO®-3200 number 134 to change the sample period to 30 seconds would require the following command: #01340001SETPARAM1,30,34^C To instruct the same ZENO®-3200 to change the compass offset to negative 16 degrees would require the following command: #01340001SETPARAM19,-16,40^C ZENOSOFT® will respond with a CCSAIL OK if the parameter can be changed successfully. ZENOSOFT® will respond with a CCSAIL ERROR 6 if run-time parameter nnn is not valid.
ZENO®-3200 USER MANUAL If the user attempts to change any of these parameters while the ZENO®-3200 is sampling, ZENOSOFT® will return a CCSAIL ERROR 8. GETPARAMnnn, Retrieve the value of parameter number nnn from the remote ZENO®-3200. ZENOSOFT® will respond with a CCSAIL ERROR 6 if run-time parameter nnn is not valid. If it is a valid run-time parameter number, ZENOSOFT® will respond with the string PARAMnnn,xxxxx.
ZENO®-3200 USER MANUAL ZENOSOFT® will respond with a CCSAIL ERROR 6 if ASCII parameter nnn is not valid. If it is a valid ASCII parameter number, ZENOSOFT® will respond with the string PARAMnnn,abcde. for example, if ZENO®-3200 number 329 is being polled for the current value of parameter number 8 (the administrator level password), and if the actual value is ZENO®-3200, the following communications will occur. #03290001GETASCII8,84^C #00010329ASCII8,ZENO,20^C 10.2.
ZENO®-3200 USER MANUAL This CCSAIL command will set the floating-point value of all constants to 0.0. An example of its usage is as follows: #01340001ERASECONSTANTS52^C ZENOSOFT® will respond with a CCSAIL OK upon success. 10.3. Repeater Values392 RESETREPEAT This CCSAIL command will reset all the repeater values (including the repeater run-time parameters) to their default values. It has the same effect as the "R" option in the Repeater Menu of the User Interface.
ZENO®-3200 USER MANUAL GETREPEATnnn, Retrieve the value of the nnnth eight remote addresses from the ZENO®-3200. ZENOSOFT® will respond with a CCSAIL ERROR 6 if REPEAT line nnn is not valid. (Currently, 1 is the only valid number.) If it is a valid REPEAT line number, ZENOSOFT® will respond with the string REPEATnnn, followed by a comma-separated list of remote addresses.
ZENO®-3200 USER MANUAL #12340001ENDSAMPLE60^C The ZENO®-3200 would respond with: #00011234OK,93^C There may be a pause between when the ZENO®-3200 sends the ENDSAMPLE command and when the CCSAIL OK response is sent. This pause allows the ZENO®-3200 to complete any current tasks. STARTSAMPLE,x, This command instructs the remote ZENO®-3200 to check that its configuration is internally consistent, and if so then to start sampling.
ZENO®-3200 USER MANUAL ERROR14,29^C 10.5. Create Default Configuration DEFAULTCONFIG This command causes ZENOSOFT® to go to the default configuration—completely deleting the existing configuration. The default configuration sets all run-time parameters to their default values, all constants to zero, deletes all sensors, processes, data outputs and GSI scripts. If successful, ZENOSOFT® returns a CCSAIL OK. If CCSAIL ENDSAMPLE has not been previously sent, ZENOSOFT® responds with a CCSAIL ERROR 8. 10.6.
ZENO®-3200 USER MANUAL If script number nnn does not exist, ZENOSOFT® will respond with a CCSAIL ERROR 85. INSGSInnn,mmm, Insert line number mmm in script number nnn in the ZENO®-3200 configuration. This command can only be sent after the ENDSAMPLE command has been sent. If script number nnn exists and line number mmm is valid, ZENOSOFT® inserts the new line, sets the GSI command to NO_COMMAND in the new line and returns CCSAIL OK. This command can only be sent after the ENDSAMPLE command has been sent.
ZENO®-3200 USER MANUAL SETGSInnn,mmm,abcde, Change line number mmm in script number nnn to contain the line abcde. If line number mmm does not exist, but line number mmm-1 exists, then insert line mmm as a new line and change it to abcde. Upon success, ZENOSOFT® returns a CCSAIL OK. This command––CCSAIL ENDSAMPLE––can only be sent after the ENDSAMPLE command has been sent. If CCSAIL ENDSAMPLE has not been previously sent, ZENOSOFT® responds with a CCSAIL ERROR 8.
ZENO®-3200 USER MANUAL #12670001STARTSAMPLE49^C #00011267OK,99^C GETGSInnn, This command instructs ZENOSOFT® to return the lines comprising script number nnn. It is not necessary to first send the CCSAIL ENDSAMPLE command. If script number nnn does not exist, ZENOSOFT® will respond with a CCSAIL ERROR 85.
ZENO®-3200 USER MANUAL placed after record number mmm. If n is B, the new record is placed before record number mmm. Upon success, another record will have been added in the desired location and ZENOSOFT® will return a CCSAIL OK. If CCSAIL ENDSAMPLE has not been previously sent, ZENOSOFT® responds with a CCSAIL ERROR 8. If n is neither an A or B, ZENOSOFT® will respond with a CCSAIL ERROR 12. If record number mmm does not exist, ZENOSOFT® will respond with a CCSAIL ERROR 16.
ZENO®-3200 USER MANUAL #00015310ERROR61,56^C #53100001SETDATA14,9 1 "AWSPD" P1.11 1 5 7,50^C #00015310OK,92^C GETSENSORnnn, GETPROCESSnnn, GETDATAnnn, These commands work in essentially the same way (and in a similar way to the GETGSI command). The remote ZENO®-3200 returns the value of sensor record number nnn, process record number nnn, or data output record number nnn. These commands can be used while the remote ZENO®-3200 is still sampling – the ENDSAMPLE command does not need to be used first.
ZENO®-3200 USER MANUAL When the sensor, process or data output records are deleted, any subsequent records are updated (as is done when the user deletes a sensor, process or data output record through the standard User Interface). for example, if sensor record number 6 is deleted, then any references to sensor number 7 are replaced by sensor number 6. The ENDSAMPLE command must be used before any of these commands are used.
