Programming a Q330 with Hocus

Q330 Lab Bench Testing

 

 

First Part of Q330 SET-UP.

 

***Disable Internet LAN connection 1 and Enable LAN connection 2.

 

Connect Ethernet cables to Qnet connection on Q330.

Run Hocus.

Enumerate. Refer to Figure 1. Note: if any Q330s will not enum., check IP/FW using Willard.

Programming a Q330 with Willard

Willard is Quanterra's program to program and control Q330's. It is a standalone Windows program which allows you to set parameters, monitor data acquisition, storage, gps power cycling, sensor control, and much more. It is a very powerful and complex program which does not lend itself to a brief 'walkthrough' via a webpage.

Due to its complexity and ability to control every aspect of a Q330, it is very easy to make a severe mistake which would make the Q330 not function as intended. We highly recommend that only experienced users of Willard program Q330 parameters. You should contact a PASSCAL staff member if you have any questions regarding using Willard to program a Q330.

During training at PASSCAL, users receive a walkthrough of Willard.

 

Programming a Q330 with a Clie

To program a Q330 with a Clié you need to use either the "Q330 B147" or "Q330 1.491t" program. These programs can be found on the main menu of any Clié received from PASSCAL. These programs are used to send or retrieve parameters/configurations, change station names, change IP addresses, and to send commands to a Q330.

Important note: To program a Q330S (which is different from a normal Q330) you MUST use the program "Q330 1.491t"

Programming a Texan with Mini-Hub

The Mini-Hub is functionaly identical to the normal, full-sized, hub except it can only program 3 texans at a time (instead of the normal 15). It was designed in-house to act as a light weight and more portable version of the full-sized hub for when field conditions require the texans to be backpacked into a remote site.

Programming texans is identical when using either the normal hub or the mini-hub. See the Texan Programming with Pocus page for more details.

Programming and Offloading a Texan with Pocus

  Please note: Programming texans should be performed by an experienced user or a PASSCAL staff member.

 

QUICK START GUIDE

 1. CONNECT EVERYTHING. Connect power to the PC Interface box, the GPS Distribution box, and the hub. Connect a RT130GPS to the GPS Distribution box. Connect a cat-5 cable from the GPS Distribution box to the PC Interface box. Connect USB and serial cables from the PC Interface box to the hub. Install drivers for the USB to serial converters in the PC Interface if required. Connect a USB cable from the PC Interface to a USB port on the control computer. Complete any driver installation. Connect the Texans to the hub.

2. START AND SET UP POCUS.
