  Direct Read Cable, Software and Accessories


The Direct Read communications package for use with Direct Read suspension cable, includes software, a direct read adaptor connector and a choice of either USB or RS232 PC connectors.

Direct Read cable allows Leveloggers to be permanently installed in an undisturbed position in the water column and the unit to be programmed and data downloaded from surface, making these installations suitable for longer term monitoring or where the very highest accuracy of water level measurement is required.

The windows-based software, compatable with Windows 2000 and XP, is easy to use and upgrades can be freely downloaded via a link to the Solinst website.

Programming features include the ability to synchronise start times across any number of Leveloggers. There are several user fields for entering site specific and customer information. Measurement time intervals can be set from 0.5 secs (ideal for slug tests) and up to 99 hours. There are further porgammable options for customising sampling schedules and which allow user-defined event-based options which capture only significant changes in water levels.

Perhaps amongst the most powerful features of the Levelogger software are the in-built compensation routines. The most common of these is to automatically compensate data for atmospheric pressure variation by reference to one barologger record. Other routines allow data to be referenced to a local datum (e.g. borehole collar or ground level) or a national datum (e.g. sea level) by reference to a single manual water level measurement. Further compensation due to immersion in higher density (saline) water is also possible. Temperature compensation is automatic.

A detailed manual is available with the software or can be downloaded as a pdf file.

Waterra can provide training, telephone and on-line technical support in the use of Levelogger software backed-up further with on-line technical support from the manufacturers.
