2.7 Clock logging (Since firmware version v1.2.1)

Sometimes when we deploy lots of end nodes in field. We want all sensors sample data at the same time, and upload these data together for analyze. In such case, we can use clock loging feature.

We can use this command to set the start time of data recording and the time interval to meet the requirements of the specific collection time of data.

AT command: AT+CLOCKLOG=a,b,c,d

a: 0: Disable Clock logging. 1: Enable Clock Logging

b: Specify First sampling start second: range (0 ~ 3599, 65535)

// Note: If parameter b is set to 65535, the

log period starts after the node accesses the network and sends packets.

c: Specify the sampling interval: range (0 ~ 255 minutes)

d: How many entries should be uplink on every TDC (max 32)

Note: To disable clock recording, set the following parameters: AT+CLOCKLOG=1,65535,0,0

Example:

DDS75-NB — NB-IoT Distance Detection Sensor User Manual
AT+CLOCKLOG=1,65535,1,5 After the node sends the first packet, data is recorded to the memory at intervals of 1 minute. For each TDC uplink, the uplink load will include: battery information + the last 5 memory records (payload + timestamp).

Note: Users need to synchronize the server time before configuring this command. If the server time is not synchronized before this command is configured, the command takes effect only after the node is reset.

Downlink command: 0x0A

Format: Command Code (0x0A) followed by 5 bytes.

Example 1: Downlink Payload: 0A01FFFF0F08 AT+CLOCKLOG=1,65535,15,8 Example 1: Downlink Payload: 0A0104B00F08 AT+CLOCKLOG=1,1200,15,8

6. FAQ
6.1 How can I access t BC660K-GL AT Commands?
User can access to BC660K-GL directly and send AT Commands. See BC660K-GL AT Command set
6.2 Can I use DDS75-NB in condensation environment?
DDS75-NB is not suitable to be used in condensation environment. Condensation on the DDS75-NB probe will affect the reading and always got 0.
6.3 How to configure the certificate?
User can can refer to this description to configure the certificate.
7. Trouble Shooting
7.1 Why does the sensor reading show 0 or “No sensor”
1. The measurement object is very close to the sensor, but in the blind spot of the sensor. 2. Sensor wiring is disconnected 3. Not using the correct decoder
7.2 Abnormal readings The gap between multiple readings is too large or the gap between the readings and the actual value is too large
1) Please check if there is something on the probe affecting its measurement (condensed water, volatile oil, etc.) 2) Does it change with temperature, temperature will affect its measurement 3) If abnormal data occurs, you can turn on DEBUG mode, Please use downlink or AT COMMAN to enter DEBUG mode.

DDS75-NB — NB-IoT Distance Detection Sensor User Manual
downlink command: F1 01, AT command: AT+DDEBUG=1 4) After entering the debug mode, it will send 20 pieces of data at a time, and you can send its uplink to us for analysis
Its original payload will be longer than other data. Even though it is being parsed, it can be seen that it is abnormal data. Please send the data to us for check.
