Adding a YieldPoint dEXTO

Ensure that the THREAD is turned on and that the extensometer is connected to the Thread via one of the Thread Device ports.

1.  Navigate to the Connectivity Module.

2.  Press the  button directly on a THREAD to add a Device to it. If your THREAD does not appear here, you may still need to Add Your THREAD as a Connection.

3.  You may also add a device from the    button in the Devices & Sensors Section.

4.  Begin by typing in "YieldPoint" and select the name once it autocompletes in the search box.

5.  Type in the Connect Code of the THREAD that the Device will be connected to. It will already be pre-filled if the  button on the THREAD was used. 

6.  Select the THREAD communication port that the device is plugged into, Device 1, 2, or 3.

7.  Click the Next button in order to save settings.

Configuring the Device

The user will be directed to the Device configuration page for the newly added extensometer. The configuration options of the device will be explained below.

1. SAMPLING INTERVAL- Users can specify the sampling interval of the device.

2. DEVICE NAME- Users can modify the Device Name. This will change the name of the device that populates across the webpage.

3. LOCATION- The Lat, Long and Elevation can be entered here.

Note: Whatever information that is entered here will determine where the sensors populate when using a Georeference Spatial profile.

4.  NOTES- Notes for the sensor can be added here.

5. Apply your changes.

Configuring the Sensors

Once the Device is configured, the Extensometer transducers and temperature sensor will populate beneath the dExto Device and can be viewed by clicking the drop-down arrow within the Connectivity page. Each sensor can be configured by clicking on it. This will bring you to the sensor details page. Clicking "Edit Configuration" will allow the user to access additional configuration details in the screen below. The example illustrated below is for the temperature sensor. If you have questions regarding other sensor types, please reach out.

1. SAMPLING INTERVAL- Users can specify the sampling interval of the device.

2. SENSOR NAME- Users can modify the Sensor Name. This will change the name of the device that populates across the webpage.

3. SERIAL NUMBER- The user can input the serial number of the dEXTO device.

4. LOCATION- The Lat, Long and Elevation can be entered here.

Note: Whatever information that is entered here will determine where the sensors populate when using a Georeference Spatial profile.

5.  NOTES- Notes for the sensor can be added here.

6. APPLY- Click "Apply" to save the sensor configuration and be navigated back to the connectivity page.
