Introduction
Welcome to ViewDataNow
Optimum Instruments is proud to announce the completion of the latest component
to our web-based product line, the ViewDataNow web page software. ViewDataNow
is a web based application that operates in conjunction with Optimum’s flow meter
and data logger line to automate data collection, overflow alarming, and flow data
analysis.
With the addition of this software, Optimum offers the first fully automated flow data
collection and analysis system. Here are some the exciting features of this cutting
edge system:
• Server generated daily, monthly, or weekly graphs for all collected data available
on demand.
• Instantly view the status of all your project sites and access their functions with
an intuitive site list and map interface.
• Email or pager notification of alarm conditions.
• Data available 24hrs a day, 7 days a week in an easy-to-use format.
• Quickly view data in a table format.
• Graphical map of entire project site with embedded functions.
• Username and password login to protect your site and provide multiple levels of
access.
• Seamless integration with the Model 300 series datalogger.
Terminology
Datalogger
For the purposes of this manual, the term “datalogger” will be taken to mean the
web-enabled versions of Optimum’s Model 320 or Model 400. The Model 320 and
400 are data storage and forwarding devices with advanced input monitoring
capabilities. The addition of the CDPD modem gives the Model 320 and 400 the
wireless Internet connectivity necessary for the ViewDataNow system.
The terms “rainlogger”, “depthlogger”, and “flowlogger” are used interchangeably in
this manual with the term “datalogger” mentioned above. These terms are
equivalent to “datalogger”, with the difference being that “rainlogger”, “depthlogger”,
and “flowlogger” refer to a datalogger with a specialized purpose. A “rainlogger” is
specialized for rainfall data collection, a “depthlogger” is specialized for fluid depth
data collection and a “flowlogger” is specialized for flow data collection.
Site vs Project
For the purposes of this manual, the term “site” will be taken to mean the installation
of a single datalogger with any number of attached sensors. The term “project” will
be taken to mean a number of sites grouped together for organization or for a
specific purpose.
System Overview
Typical Operations
A number of concurrent processes behind the scenes are necessary for the
collected data to be readily available to you as the user. For instance, each of the
dataloggers in your ViewDataNow project are regularly reading and recording their
sensor information. On a regular interval (usually hourly) the dataloggers connect
via a wireless Internet connection to the ViewDataNow server and upload the most
recently collected data. The ViewDataNow server then processes and organizes
this data so that it is readily available to you when you visit the ViewDataNow
website with your web browser.
Upon the detection of an alarm condition on its sensors, a completely different chain
of events is set in motion by the Model 320 or AVM320-P. First, it notifies the
ViewDataNow server of the alarm condition. The server in turn records the call-in,
sends an appropriate page or email to the concerned parties and retrieves the most
recent data from the alarming datalogger.
Logon
This chapter covers the process of obtaining a logon account to the ViewDataNow
system and using your account to log onto ViewDataNow.com.
Logon Troubleshooting
In the event that your logon attempt fails and you receive the “Logon Failed” pop-up
message:
• Double check your username and password. These fields are both case
insensitive.
• Check your web browser’s “cookie” settings. The ViewDataNow website uses
Internet “cookies” to store information about your ViewDataNow session, and
certain security settings for cookie handling in your web browsing software
may interfere with your ViewDataNow logon. To help you set-up your web
browser for the ViewDataNow website, a hyperlink to a helpful web page is
available on the logon page. This link is located in the white box beneath the
username and password fields.
• Certain web browsers are not supported by the ViewDataNow website. If you
have concerns about your web software, contact technical support at
Optimum Instruments, with the specifics of your browsing software. If
possible, install and use Internet Explorer 5.0 or later.

D
A. Project Title
The name of your city, project, division or area of study appears here. If you have
multiple projects, each project will appear on this page with its own title, followed by
its Site List.
B. Logon Time
This was the time when you logged on to the ViewDataNow system. All information
displayed on the Main Logon page was current as of this time.
C. Auxiliary Functions
These buttons are meant to be versatile, multifunction buttons in the sense that they
can be easily altered by Optimum staff for your specific needs at logon. These
buttons usually provide access to your datalogger’s companion software, the Data
Dolphin software and its online manual. A refresh button is also available here to
reload the Main Logon page (Figure 4) with the most current information.
D. Project Map
The project map should load automatically. If it doesn’t, a Load Map button will
appear in its place. Clicking on this button will load a map graphic with informative
icons showing the geographical location of the sites in your project. An example of
this map is shown in Figure 5 below.
Scale
The map generated by the server will have a scale determined by both the
geographic distance between the farthest two sites and the screen resolution of the
monitor that the map is being viewed on.
Legend
The following is an explanation of the icons displayed on the project and site maps:

Functionality
The map graphic has some useful functions embedded in it that can be accessed
with the mouse pointer.
• If the mouse pointer is left over a site’s icon for a few seconds, the name of the
site will appear in a pop-up.
• Clicking on the site icon will automatically jump the window’s focus to the site’s
entry in the site list. The entry in the site list will be in the expanded view.
E. Site List
Site Name
The description assigned to the site.
Site Functions
These buttons give access to functions which pertain to that specific site. Each site
has five main functions, each accessed by an individual button. These functions are
covered in greater detail in the following sections.
1. Graphing - Opens a window with functions that display the data of this site in a
graphical or tabular format.
2. Alarms – Opens a window that displays a log of all the alarm events registered at
this site.
3. Status – Opens a window which displays the current operational status of the
site.
4. Site Info – Clicking on this button will expose the expanded view of the site info
(see section entitled “Expanded View” on page 15).
5. Clear Alarm - Special functions for technician acknowledgement of an alarm are
accessed via the “Clear Alarm” button (see “Acknowledgment and Processing”
on page 42). The color of this button indicates the current acknowledgement
status of the alarm (see “Clear Alarm Button Indications (Alarm
Acknowledgement States)” on page 42).
Site Flags
The time of any recent alarms events will appear here, as well at the “Out of Service”
flag (Figure 9) to inform the user that the site has temporarily been turned off.
Expanded View
Normally, each of the entries in the site list appear in brief format, as shown in
Figure 8, with only the site name, flags and basic functions shown. However, all
sites have an expanded view (see Figure 10) which can be opened by clicking on
the “Site Info” button, the site name in the site list, and the site icon on the project
map (see Project Map - Functionality, page 14). In the expanded view, buttons for
the Advanced Functions (see page 29) for the site are shown, as well as other
important site information. Clicking on this button again will contract the site entry to
its regular, short format.
Basic Functions
The basic site functions are defined as those functions available in the regular (and
not expanded) site list, not including the alarm acknowledgement functions (see both
Figure 8 and the section, “Site Functions” on page 14).
Custom Graphs
If a graph other than the default is desired, the “Advanced” button at the bottom of
the graph window will allow for the creation of a custom graph or table. Clicking on
this button will open a new window, namely the Advanced Table and Graphs
Window.
1.

4.
1. Time period selection – These controls allow you to select the time period of the
graph. The first two controls, labeled “Retrieve Data For:” allow you to select the
length of time the graph or table will cover. The drop down list allows you to
specify a period of hours, days or weeks. The actual number of hours, days or
weeks is entered into the textbox to the left of the drop down list.
The second set of controls labeled “starting on” allows you to specify the exact
starting time and date of the graphing period. Select the start date using the
three drop down lists and enter the time, with a colon separating the hours and
minutes, into the time textbox. When the graph is generated, it will start at this
point in time.
Graph Type – This drop down list allows for the selection of one of the three possible
graph types. These graph types are:
a. Single Y-axis – In this configuration, a single y-axis scale on the left side is
used as the measurement scale for all the inputs selected (see item 0
below). When this selection is made in the Graph Type drop down list, a
button grid will appear to select the inputs (see Figure 16 below). The
range of the scale will be determined by the maximum and minimum
values of all selected inputs. This auto-range selection is useful for
viewing the changes in inputs with similar values. An example of a Single
Y-axis graph is shown in Figure 14 below.
b. Double Y-axis – This type of graph is similar to a Single y-axis graph with
the exception of having another separate Y-axis scale on the right side
(Figure 15). This is ideal for displaying two or more inputs on the same
graph where the values differ by an order of magnitude. When choosing
this selection in the Graph Type drop down list, two separate button grids
will appear in the Input Selection – section (see item 0 below) to allow you
to choose the input associated with each of the Y-axis scales.
d. If you have selected a preconfigured graph type, a drop down list will
appear in this section to allow you to select one of the four preconfigured
graph types. The available choices are:
• Depth and Rainfall
• Velocity
• Flow and Rainfall
• RSSI (Radio Signal Strength Indicator). For more information on
RSSI, see Item 0, page 28.
e. If you have selected a Single y-axis graph type, a button matrix of all of
the datalogger inputs available for the site will appear. These will be the
inputs which were enabled when the datalogger was last downloaded.
These include the standard, precision, frequency, calculated and internal
communication inputs, if they are applicable to the model of datalogger
being used. To select an input for graphing, simply click on the input’s
button. The button will turn green to indicate that the input has been
selected for graphing. An example of an input selection button grid
appears in Figure 16 below.
limited. When possible, choose the Double Y-axis graph type when graphing two
inputs.
• Data can be plotted for a single site only.
• All graphing plots are on a white background, with a black scale. The color of the
plots is based on the number of inputs selected for graphing, with a new preset
color added for each additional plot.
• The ViewDataNow graphing engine can only create graphs from data collected
by a Data Dolphin™ or Model 300 based datalogger and assumes that data for
the selected inputs is present in the site database.
Table Generation
As an alternative to viewing the collected data in a graph format, a table may be
generated to view the data readings directly. If the Single Y-axis graph type is
selected (see Item 0), the “Generate Table” button will appear (Figure 16) beneath
the Input Selection Button Grid. When this button is clicked, the data of the selected
inputs will be presented in tabular rather than graphical format.
Scroll down
for the rest of
the data.
Button Grid (see Item 0, page 22). A separate column will be added to the
table for each input you choose.
6. Click the Generate Table button (Item 0, page 23).
7. Once the Server has finished processing, the resultant table will appear in a
new browser window.
Status
The site status function operates by taking a “snapshot” of the most recently
recorded values of the operational properties of a site. The properties displayed by
this function are those most important for successful operation of the site. These
include , battery voltages, important input levels and the communication parameters.
Data – The table in this section of the window displays recently recorded levels on
any alarm based (see Acknowledgment and Processing, page 42) or closely
monitored sensor inputs on the datalogger. The name of the input, the alarm level
currently programmed into the datalogger input (if any), and most recently recorded
reading of the input level is displayed in this order on each row. The date and time
which appears the Data table’s header was the time at which the input level(s)
displayed was measured.
Power – This table has a single entry, that being the datalogger’s internal battery
voltage. When applicable, this voltage is useful for estimating the amount of
remaining battery life. This internal battery voltage is dependent on a number of
factors such as battery pack model, datalogger model, power configurations, etc., so
consult Optimum Instruments Inc. on information regarding the internal battery
voltage. The date and time which appears in the Power table’s header was the time
at which the internal battery voltage displayed was measured.
RSSI – The table in this section of the Site Status Window contains CDPD modem
communication information. Most of the information is for the diagnostic purposes of
Optimum technical staff, with the exception of the RSSI value in the last row of the
table. RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indicator) is defined as a measure of the
radio signal strength received by the datalogger’s CDPD modem from the CDPD
tower, for the current CDPD channel being used. Generally, it is an indication of
how well the datalogger’s CDPD modem is communicating with the CDPD tower.
More specifically, it is presented as the relative signal strength above the noise floor.
The RSSI value is usually given in units of decibels (dBm), and ranges in value
from -30 dBm to the noise floor value of -115 dBm. The following table presents
the CDPD modem’s RSSI levels from the viewpoint of practical use.
Advanced Functions
The advanced site functions are those functions specific to a site which are only
available from the site list in expanded view (see page 15). These functions, which
are explained in the following section, give access to more specific site information.
Map
This function is similar to the project map function (see Project Map, page 12),
except that it loads a higher resolution map. When the map button is clicked, a new
window will open for the map. The Server Processing Indicator (see Figure 26, page
36) will appear while the server generates the site map. When complete, a map
centered on the site’s location will appear.
*See “
Legend” on page 13
for more information
on icon indications.
Pictures
Clicking on this button will open a new browser window displaying any site pictures
stored on the ViewDataNow server. Up to twenty pictures can be stored here. To
Notes
Each site in the ViewDataNow system has an electronic text log attached to it. This
allows a technician to log on to ViewDataNow, go to a site of interest and record a
brief message regarding any maintenance or activities for the site. This message
will be instantly posted on the ViewDataNow server, marked with the user’s name
and date. This message can then be viewed by all ViewDataNow accounts that
have permission to view the information for this site (Figure 21).
This electronic text log appears in a separate window when the “Notes” button is
clicked from the expanded site view. By default, the entries of all users with
permission to access the site information will appear in this message list. The
message list, however, can be filtered to display only the message entries of the
current user by clicking on the “My Notes Only” checkbox (see Figure 21 below).
This button is
labeled “Apply”
when editing a text
message.
Message List
Note that the name and date are automatically entered beside your entry. The name
which appears here is owner of the ViewDataNow account currently being used to
access the ViewDataNow system. (see Logging onto ViewDataNow.com, page 9).
Email List
In the event that a web enabled datalogger detects an alarm condition on one of its
inputs, it will inform the ViewDataNow server of this fact (see Typical Operations,
page 5). The ViewDataNow server will in turn, inform all concerned parties of the
alarm condition. The email list (Figure 22) attached to a site is a list of all the email
addresses that will receive an alarm message (see page 41 for more information on
the format of the alarm message).
Communications
The RSSI value is a measure of how effectively the datalogger’s internal wireless
modem is communicating with the local CDPD service. During a regularly
scheduled call-in (see Typical Operations, page 5), a datalogger will forward its
RSSI value to the ViewDataNow server. The ViewDataNow server will then store
this information in the site database file (see Database, page 34).
The resulting RSSI history is viewable in a tabular format at any time by clicking the
“Comm” button available in the expanded site view (see Expanded View, page 15).
This will open a Communication Status window similar to the one shown in Figure
23.
Database
All data collected on site is stored in both the datalogger’s memory and on the
ViewDataNow server in a Microsoft Access 97 database file. Every time a
datalogger calls in to the ViewDataNow server for its regular check in, the database
file is updated with the latest collected data. When a new datalogger is added to the
ViewDataNow system, a new database file is created. This database file is in the
same format as that used by the Data Dolphin software, the software used to
download from and program Optimum dataloggers. Thus, the database can easily
be used by into the Data Dolphin software for further processing.
Server Processing
Graph and map requests can be quite calculation intensive, and may take some time
(up to a minute) for the ViewDataNow server to generate, depending on the current
server load, the number of sites involved, and the map or graph complexity. An
animated graphic (shown in Figure 26) will display as the server processes and
creates the map or graph for the web page.
Alarms
As part of its basic alarm functionality, an Optimum Instruments datalogger can be
programmed to monitor conditions on its inputs for variety of purposes. In the event
that a level exceeds a preset condition, the datalogger connects to and alerts the
ViewDataNow server. The server then performs a variety of alarm condition tasks to
inform all concerned parties. This section describes events during an alarm
condition, how an alarm is processed on the ViewDataNow system and how to view
the alarm history of a site.
Types
Optimum’s dataloggers send out the following email warnings for the following:
Level Alarm – A datalogger’s precision input is programmed to closely monitor the
output level of the sensor connected to it. As many different types of sensors can be
connected to an Optimum datalogger’s precision input, many different types of
qualities (pressure, temperature, depth, etc) can thus be monitored. If the quality
being monitored exceeds a preset level (or levels), a level alarm is raised and the
ViewDataNow server is alerted.
Wet Alarm – Optimum’s dataloggers are also capable of monitoring the state of
normally open switch or contact. Should the switch or contact close, the datalogger
will instantly alert the ViewDataNow server. This is an ideal input for a protective
device such as a wet sensor.
Battery Alarm – A datalogger can monitor the voltage level of an internal or external
battery in the same way that precision input is monitored. If the battery voltage falls
below certain level, the datalogger connects to the ViewDataNow server and informs
it of the low battery condition.
Events
A Model 300 series datalogger checks it inputs for alarm levels at a regular interval
determined by the current sample rate. If an alarm level has been reached, the
following events take place;
1. The datalogger immediately connects to the ViewDataNow server, regardless
of its regular server check-in schedule.
2. The ViewDataNow server acknowledges the connection, and the datalogger
responds with all relevant alarm information.
3. The ViewDataNow server automatically creates a custom alarm email
message (see Email, page 41), and sends this message to all parties on the
site email list (see Email List, page 32).
4. The ViewDataNow server updates the site list on the ViewDataNow website,
flagging the alarming site by changing the color of the “Clear Alarm” button to
red and entering the time of the alarm occurrence in the site flags section
(see Site Flags, page 15).
5. The Alarm History (see “History” on page 49) is updated with the time of the
alarm, and the alarm’s current Acknowledgement status (see “Clear Alarm
Button Indications (Alarm Acknowledgement States)” on page 42).
6. The ViewDataNow server downloads the latest data collected from the
dataloggers memory and stores it in the site database (see “Database” on
page 34).
7. The alarm event is now ready for user or server acknowledgment.
Email
All email alarms sent from the ViewDataNow server are in a standard format and are
sent from the ViewDataNow server’s email account, data@optinst.com. The text of
the email is created on the fly using relevant information from a variety of sources.
The following is an example of a typical alarm email generated by the ViewDataNow
server:

Operator Acknowledgement
Alarm Acknowledgement Logon
In this basic response to an alarm event, an operator acknowledges a site’s alarm
condition by clicking on the Clear Alarm button in the site listing, which should now
be colored red. This will bring up the Acknowledge Alarm logon window (Figure 29).
For security, only certain user accounts (usually an operator) are allowed to access
the Alarm Acknowledgement window and acknowledge an alarm.
Acknowledging an Alarm
To acknowledge an alarm, simply login to the Alarm Acknowledgment window (if not
already logged in) for the site and click the “Acknowledge Alarm” button. The
ViewDataNow server will record the acknowledgement, along with the time and the
name of the operator who acknowledged alarm (Figure 31).
Server Acknowledgement
During an alarm condition, the alarm levels are continuously monitored by the
datalogger. In the event that alarm levels return to normal (non-alarm) levels the
datalogger informs the ViewDataNow server, either immediately or during its regular
check-in. Upon verifying that the alarm condition is over, the ViewDataNow server
will automatically acknowledge the alarm for the operator.
Clearing an Alarm
The final step in alarm acknowledgment is the actual clearing of the alarm. This is
done only after it has been decided that the alarm condition is over.
An alarm is cleared by logging in to the Alarm Acknowledgment window and clicking
on the “Clear Alarm” button. This button will only be present (or will only be labeled
“Clear Alarm”) if the alarm has already been previously acknowledged by the server
or an operator.
History
During an alarm event, the ViewDataNow server performs many automated tasks.
One of these tasks is to record the alarm event, so that a site’s alarm activity can be
monitored and audited. The complete list of all alarm events for a specific site can
be viewed with the alarm history function.
