Special settings by sensor type

Certain Efento logger models include sensor-specific settings that allow users to fine-tune how individual sensor types operate. These options are designed to optimize measurement accuracy, adapt the device to specific applications, and ensure reliable operation of sensors with unique requirements.

Depending on the logger type, these settings may allow you to adjust how a measurement is performed (for example, adding a stabilization delay before reading a PT1000 probe or configuring debounce time for open/close sensors) or define parameters essential for proper functionality (such as setting the initial value of a pulse counter).

Calibration options are divided into two categories:

• Manual calibration is performed during the initial setup of the logger and is often required to ensure accurate and reliable measurements. Typical examples include setting the initial value of a pulse counter or calibrating a CO₂ sensor in fresh air.

• Calibration parameters, on the other hand, are used to fine-tune how individual sensor types operate. These settings optimize measurement accuracy, adapt the device to specific applications, and ensure stable operation of sensors with unique characteristics.

This chapter describes all special settings available for individual logger types and explains how to configure them correctly.

Accessing sensor-specific configuration

To access Calibration Parameters, connect to the logger, tap the three dots in the upper-right corner, and navigate to Advanced → Calibration → Calibration Parameters, then select the channel you want to configure. If the logger has multiple configurable sensors, the list will display each measurement type along with its channel number in brackets. Available parameters depend on the selected sensor type.

Manual calibration is accessed the same way: connect to the logger → tap the three dots in the upper-right corner → Advanced → Calibration → Manual calibration.
