Welcome to a six-part series on using the Campbell Scientific Hydro-LinkTM software. This series covers the installation, set-up, and use of Hydro-Link to obtain water depth and precipitation measurements.
Part 1 introduces the hardware used in a typical station and the installation of Hydro-Link.
Part 2 covers the process of adding sensors to Hydro-Link to obtain valid measurements as well as setting the measurement interval.
Part 3 describes how to set up Hydro-Link to link with a GOES satellite to transmit data back to a base station.
Part 4 covers the Dashboard within Hydro-Link to view data and perform tasks such as calibrating the rain gage.
Part 5 shows how to graph data collected by Hydro-Link and retrieve that data.
Part 6 demonstrates the built-in diagnostic tools within Hydro-Link.
