Keynes Controls Product Setup Videos
The following video clips demonstrate how to configure the free issue Keynes Controls Q-LOG software.
The aim of these small videos is to demonstrate by example how the main features of the software is configured especially when using Keynes Controls data acquisition systems, intelligent sensors and interface products.
All of the videos are MP4 format and can be downloaded from the links provided.
The Keynes Controls training videos only use the USB-SDI12-Pro or USB-RS485-Pro network media converters.
Q-Log is the Keynes Controls basic data acquisition and display software for use on Microsoft Windows PC and tablet computer systems.
The following video clip shows how how to start up Q-LOG software and to do the basic configurations required to gather data from devices located on a SDI-12 network.
Further Information
The example shows 2 x AquaDAT sensor interface units running on an SDI-12 network.
Each AquaDAT has been configured to operate as an 8 channel differential input data acquisition unit.
The number and type of sensor inputs on the AquaDAT is a setting on the device itself and is not defined by Q-Log.

The following video clip shows how to setup a panel meter
to display data from a sensor.
1. Start Q-LOG
2. Set network COM Port
3. Show Variable List
4. Change Sensor Name & Units
5. Select Panel meter - 2 x 2 Display

Further Information
2 x AquaDAT sensor interfaces with SDI12 ID = 5 and ID = 6
connected to a USB-SDI12-Pro media converter.
The USB-SDI12-Pro media converter is assigned to COM-4
serial port
The AquaDAT sensor interfaces have already set to return 8 values each on receipt of send data command. 8 x DE inputs set inside AquaDAT and not by Q-LOG. The software only identifies number values being returned

Further Information
2 x AquaDAT sensor interfaces with SDI12 ID = 5 and ID = 6
connected to a USB-SDI12-Pro media converter.
The USB-SDI12-Pro media converter is assigned to COM-4
serial port of a Windows PC.
The sensor ID numbers have already been preset. Each AquaDAT has been configured to return 8 Differential input values only.
Data Table
The data value from channel 0 from the AquaDAT with ID = 5 is stored into cell ‘D’, and the last value stored into cell ‘K’,
The second device is set to store the first data value from channel 0 into cell ‘L’ and from channel 7 into cell ‘S’.
