Still in the Configuration Editor, Data Source Details,

• select a Logger that has already been added to a Site (see “Adding Loggers to Sites”)
• click the Add button (Figure 3-9).
• select Add Channels and
• select a Channel Type, e.g., Standard Averaging, GSI, VWS, etc.
• select a Channel Number (a channel number will automatically be added in order)
• select a Parameter. When you select a parameter, the Channel Name will automatically be changed to match the Parameter name if it fits within the 8 character channel name limit. If not, the user will need to pick a parameter name.
• Note that by default the list of parameters is limited to the existing site. If you need a logger channel to feed data to another site (e.g., for an AirNow pseudo-site), click the blue funnel icon to clear the filter, and you can pick any other site for the list of parameters.
  

For the remainder of the prompts on the form, consult the ESC Model 8816/8832 User Manual.

>>Note: When you first open the Channel editor the Channel Name will be displayed as Chan1, Chan2, etc. When you select a Parameter, the Channel Name will automatically be changed to match the Parameter name; however, you can edit the Channel Name if you choose. After the channel is downloaded to the data logger, the Channel Name will be displayed as the Instrument Name in the logger.

• select an Average Interval and Storage for the Base Average, Extended Average 1, and Extended Average 2.
• Click the Save button

Follow the same procedure to add calibrations, average alarms, and digital event triggers, as explained later.
