Optima has just released Version 3.16C of the Optima ecoSENTRY application.
We have also published the February 2019 edition of the Optima ecoSENTRY Release Notes.
What's New:
POLLING INTERVAL:
Added Option [L] To POWER MENU. Allows User To Specify The Polling/Reading Interval. Range: 1 - 15min
Impact:
Records files can now be larger (and possibly smaller) than those generated by prior ecoSENTRY app versions.
ecoSENTRY V3.16C supports a user selected Polling/Readings Interval setting. The same parameter controls how fast the following will be polled/read:
AC Meter
DC Meter(s)
enviroSENSOR ws-7 (Weather Station)
enviroSENSOR (Indoor/Outdoor Temperature)
Wind Turbine(s)
ecoSENTRY app versions up to (and including) 3.15C fixed this value at a 5 minute interval.
Starting with V3.16C, the ecoSENTRY app now allows the user to specify this interval in the range of 1 to 15 minutes.
To set a new polling/reading interval, go the POWER MENU, then use option [L].
Since the app generates one entry per polling/reading cycle, this can result in records files that are potentially 5 times as large as previously recorded files. Ensure that the selected interval and the resulting records file sizes will comfortably fit on drive B:. Especially when selecting intervals shorter than the previous default of 5 minutes. Similarly, setting the interval to any period longer than 5 minutes will result in smaller records files being generated.
NOTE: Keep in mind that the app will maintain up to 7 concurrent records files (one for each day of the week).
Required Work:
No wiring or physical installation changes are required to enable the new features incorporated into the V3.16C release.
Upgrading:
Authorized users can now download their own copies via the Optima Cloud Storage. The latest version of the ecoSENTRY Release Notes can be found in the same directory.
