Dickson TWP Touchscreen Data Logger for One

This Quick-start Guide presents an overview of the Touchscreen data logger, with setup and connection instructions to get your device up and running on Ethernet or Wi-Fi. You can then register the device in DicksonOne to view data online, configure alarms, and much more.

What’s in the box

Getting Started

1. Plug sensors into the device.
2. Plug the device into power.
3. Press the power button on the side of the device to turn it on.
4. Enable the channels you want to display on the screen (details in “Graph Settings” section).
5. IMPORTANT: You may wish to review the firmware versions online at https://www.dicksonone.com/change_logs and be sure to opt-in to Firmware Notifications in your DicksonOne profile.

NOTES ABOUT SENSORS:
The long, straight piece of the sensor is an extension arm for the ambient temperature and temperature/humidity sensors. It does not need to be used with any other sensor and is plugged directly into the device with the sensor attached to it as pictured above. When unplugging your Replaceable Sensor from your device, wait 10 SECONDS before plugging the sensor back into your device.

Device Settings

NOTE: TSB devices are configured via the touchscreen interface ONLY. TWE/TWP devices are connected to the internet via the touchscreen interface but are further configured on DicksonOne. Touch the ‘Settings’ icon on the bottom right of the device screen to access the device settings screens for device configuration and device information.

1. ‘Information’ provides details about the logger, including Model, Serial Number, Firmware Version, Mac Address, Attached Sensors and Channels.
2. ‘General Settings’ allows you to configure the device’s name, time settings (format, time zone, date), sample interval for logging, units of measurement, screen saving, and brightness adjustment.
3. ‘Graph’ area allows you to choose between a graph display or text view of readings, statistics, scaling, determine what channels to display on the main screen (two max), and set min/max on/off.
4. ‘Network Settings’ is used if your device will be registered to your DicksonOne account. After connecting your device to the internet (WiFi or Ethernet), the device will display a 6-digit registration code that is used to register the device to your account. This screen will not be used for standalone TSB loggers.
5. ‘Alarms’ allows you to enable the alarm (up to two per channel or one high and one low per channel).
6. ‘Calibration’ provides details of when the sensors were calibrated and allows you to create calibration alarms as well.
7. ‘Stored Data’ allows you to download the data from the device using USB and/or also delete the tablet data.
8. ‘Admin Settings’ allows you to set a passcode to secure the device.

Using your Touchscreen Locally (Without Cloud Software)

All touchscreen devices including TWEs and TWPs, can be used as a standalone device without a DicksonOne subscription.

NOTE: TSBs do not have the option to be used with DicksonOne and therefore can only be used locally.

To set the TWE or TWP as a standalone device:

1. Tap the ‘Settings’ icon.
2. Tap on the WiFi icon in the Settings Menu to open the ‘Network Settings’ screen.
3. Set ‘DicksonOne Enabled’ to OFF.

2. Navigate to the ‘Network Settings’ screen.
3. Switch the ‘Network Adapter’ setting to Ethernet.

Connect via WiFi 

1. Navigate to the ‘Network Settings’ screen.
2. Switch the ‘Network Adapter’ setting to WiFi.
