JSON Buffer Size​

When building JSON output, a string buffer is allocated and used. This setting is used to adjust the size of this buffer.

If the buffer size is exceeded, a non-valid JSON value is output by the system.

note

The runtime maximum use size of the buffer is output in the about screen of the DataLoggerIoT. This is helpful in adjusting the size of the buffer.

Terminal Baud Rate​

The baud rate used when connected to a Serial Terminal application.

When changed, the DataLoggerIoT must restart of the setting to take effect.

note

Once the baud rate is change, the baudrate on the serial termainal application will also require updating

Sleep​

Enable System Sleep​

If enabled, the DataLogger IoT will enter a sleep mode for a set number seconds between data recording. This setting can be used to reduce the overall power consumption of the DataLoggerIoT device when powered by a battery.

When this feature is enabled, the DataLoggerIoT will sleep for Sleep Interval seconds, then wake to sample data for Wake Interval seconds. This cycle continues until the setting is changed.

Sleep Interval (sec)​

The number of seconds the DataLoggerIoT sleeps

Wake Interval​

The number of seconds the DataLoggerIoT samples data. Once this period ends, the system enters sleep mode
