A Wall Adapter
A usual wall adapter (110/230 VAC, output min. 12 V/500 mA) can be
used when the distance to the MAWS system is less than 100 m (328
ft.), provided that the wall adapter can be installed indoors.
MAWS Software
Operating Software
The embedded operating software runs in the AWS logger. Access to
the operating software commands can be gained using the MAWS
Terminal.
MAWS Terminal
MAWS Terminal is the terminal software for working with the MAWS
stations. MAWS stations measure sensor data and store it in log files.
With the MAWS Terminal software, you can download these files to
your PC and view them.
When you start using MAWS, the first thing you need to do is to define
what parameters you want to measure and at what frequency. You can
do this by uploading a configuration file from your PC to the MAWS
system.
MAWS Terminal is also used for setting the station specific parameters
such as the station name, altitude, pressure sensor height, and sensor
specific calibration coefficients. In addition, the date and time can be set
using the easy-to-use MAWS Station Settings template.
After you have uploaded the configuration files to MAWS, you can
browse the MAWS data files by downloading them from MAWS to
your PC. You can browse them in MAWS Terminal or in other
applications. You can define several download settings such as where
NOTE
When the power cable resistance exceeds 10 Ω, a capacitor (from 100
to 200 µF, 40 V) should be added between GND and +ExtDC pins.
Make sure that the polarity is correct.
