If you are collecting remote data, some sensors require time to "warm up" before remote data collection can begin. The warm-up time begins when you set up remote data collection. The interface performs this warm-up automatically; all you need to do is wait to start data collection until the appropriate amount of time has passed. For example, if you are using a pH Sensor, it will be ready to use 30 seconds after you set up the interface for remote data collection.
The table below lists all sensors with warm-up periods of two
seconds
or longer. If a sensor is not on this list, it's warm up time is
negligible.
