Hi from Spain,
i have just this morning connected a new sensor. It looks like everything is working well but i cant find the station in the world map. Takes it more time or is something going wrong?

Regards
Harry

You must enter the coordinates manually. They look to their account -> Tasks and click on computer number because they see the bottom card.

Sorry for my not good English.

To locate your sensor on the map.....

Click Your Account -> View Computers -> Details, scroll down to see the map. Your computer will be an icon with a different color (orange? ) than the other computers and the icon will be located in Poland, I think. Drag the icon to your location, zoom in on the map to place the icon on your exact location or somewhere near your location. Then click the Add Sensor button below the map. If you put the icon in the wrong place you can detach the computer and reattach to get a new host ID then proceed with locating the new host on the map.

Your sensor data is on the graph at the bottom of your post but the scale on the vertical axis is not the same as on graphs from other members.

Hi,

at the end of the page (Radioactive detector 1727) no map is shown, just the line:
Map

Map 0

It's looks ok, but to be sure computer must send back finished WU. I take a look in about 1-2 hours :)

For what help it may be worth.
I set mine up and wiggled the USB port accidentally, the computer ding donged a few times, signaling that the cable disconnected / reconnected at least once in short time.

The project quit showing me progress although the detector was running. The time was incrementing just no percentage. I restarted boing with no help so finally had to shut down boinc, unplug detector, restart boinc, then replug in detector and now everything is working fine.

I guess my point is, if you get a data glitch between your computer and the detector it may lock out. Try this and see if it helps you.

Hi Aaron,
thats the golden way!!!!

Tryed it + success.

THX THX

BTW
What means the option "Application runtime"? Presetting is 1.3 but isnĀ“t 24 hrs better?

Regards from Spain

I think the run time is how much data it will log before uploading it to the server.

I don't know why they picked 1.3hrs?

If you ran 24hrs, there's a great chance of losing some data, I don't see why 24hrs would be better?

Run time is a length of work unit.
Data are uploaded constantly by trickles, but credits counted when work unit is finished and uploaded.

I would keep it around an hour or so. That way if something goes wrong you don't end up losing a bunch of work credits.

Just my opinion.

1h 20 minutes is the leftover from our older app, which had predefined, constant runtime. It was defined by sample time of 40 seconds and a fixed number of samples (120 IIRC). Later the system was changed but the old default value was left untouched, as the app still falls back to the old runtime if no prefs are present. It's as good as any other value.

Running workunit for 24 or even 48 hours won't cause any data loss (as the server receives data by trickles every 20 to 30 minutes anyway), however the longer the workunit, the higher possibility of something going wrong and then you may end up with no credits.
