Hi everyone,

I just bought a 520+, which I got because it has additional sensors in there.

* How do I get these logged? Ideally I'd like these logged on the device, and then download at the end of the trip.

* The data viewer doesn't seem to know 520+ model.

* There is a command for getting temperature (GETTEMP) in terminal mode, in addition to the counter functions, but nothing else. Do you have documentation for other commands for 520+ model to get to the other measurements?

* What is the little hole on the side where the USB port is? Is this an audio port, or is it the tube window? This isn't mentioned in either the quickstart or full manual for this device.

Hi haqn, right now there is no feature to log CO2 reading on the device, but it can be sent online. It only additionally log GPS data. GETTEMP is not there anymore. I will check the data viewer other commands.

The hole beside the USB is for analog output. It's an extra feature that's why it isn't in the manual/guides.

Edit. There is <GETGPS>> and <GETCO2>> functions. It sends all data online so you can view them on GMCMAP.

Thanks EmfDev. What about the formaldehyde readings? Would that be <GETHCHO>> ? It does respond to GETTEMP in the terminal, the return results are binary, not sure what they mean. I'll check out the other two commands when I get back. Thanks!

I think that GETTEMP is for the built-in temperature sensor from the CPU and not the other background temperature with humidity and pressure. Yea sorry it doesn't have the <GETHCHO>> command.

I am one more future customer for the 520+ if the internal logging software could be upgraded a bit.
Options for logging under the "Save Data" menu would include a list with tick-boxes for what to save, and interval for each.
The ability to select CPM, CO2, and GPS at one minute intervals, or CPS and GPS at one second intervals and CO2 & HCHO at one minute, or any combination thereof.
The best thing would of course be if the same screen could include a calculated information about how long (in hours) the memory would last.
No interest in GPRS at all, only Wifi/bluetooth/internal logging.
(micro)SD card much more useful for logging for me, and extended battery time.
