Pumpdown Data Acquisition - Rolligon

Hardware Setup

1. Connect Hardware Components:

   • USB to Serial Cable: Connect this to the pumpdown laptop.
   • Gray Null Modem Cable: Connect one end to the USB to Serial cable.
   • Black Startech Serial to Ethernet Adapter: Connect to the Null Modem cable and plug into power.
   • Access Point:
     • Connect one Ethernet cable from Startech to the LAN port on the power adapter.
     • Connect another Ethernet cable from Access Point to the POE port on the power adapter.
     • Position the Access Point facing the logger’s access point for optimal connectivity.

2. Check COM Port for USB to Serial Cable:

   • Open Device Manager > Ports and locate the USB to Serial cable (usually labeled as USB Prolific).
   • If COM port is not listed after plugging in, install the required drivers.

Pumpdown Laptop Configuration

1. Open DAQ Settings:

   • Navigate to DAQ (top of screen) > Channel Setup. 

2. Configure Serial Output:

   • In Serial Output, select Choose an Output > Settings Button. 
   • Set Port to the COM number identified in Device Manager (Step 2).
   • Configure other settings as follows:
     • Baud Rate: 9600
     • Parity: None
     • Stop Bits: One
     • Row Control: None
     • Delimiter: Comma
   • Press OK to save.  

3. Select Channels:

   • In Serial Output > Channels Button, choose channels for pressure and rate (e.g., DAS Pressure 1, DAS Rate 1, DAS Rate 2), then click OK.
   • Press OK in the Source Setup window.
   • Verify Blinking TX/RX Lights on the Startech Serial to Ethernet Adapter, indicating data transmission. 

MaticAI/ZipVision Computer Setup

1. Verify Access Point Connection:

   • Confirm the access point connection and hardware visibility.
   • In a browser, go to 10.0.0.2.
   • If connection fails: Open https://localhost:8043 and check Devices. You should see at least one logger access point as Connected.
     • If needed, adopt or reposition the access point for better visibility.

2. Configure Dipole Pump Plugin:

   • Open the Dipole Pump Plugin.
   • Go to TCP IP Config(bottom left) and enter:
     • Host IP: 10.0.0.2
     • Port: 90
   • Press Start Receiving and check for incoming values in text boxes.

3. Assign Values in Dipole Pump Plugin:

   • With values incoming, a table in the bottom right should display Index | Value.
   • If the table is not separated, enter a comma in the Division Character field (bottom right).
   • Match each index numberto the correct field:
     • Pressure (e.g., if Index 1): Enter 1 in the pressure field under Pump 1.
     • Rate (e.g., if Index 2): Enter 2 in the rate field under Pump 1.
   • Values for pressure and rate should now appear in MaticAI/ZipVision.

Safety Note: Ensure all connections are secure and drivers are correctly installedto avoid configuration issues. Confirm access point placement for optimal connectivity.
