Taori Logger Studio is a web-based remote control and data management interface for Taori data loggers. It connects to your loggers over the network, reads sensor configurations, retrieves data from the database, and lets you process and download measurements — all from one place.

The interface is divided into several pages, accessible via the icon rail on the left edge of the screen: Logger Control, Dashboard, Sensor Configuration, Sensor Database, Data Processing, and Data Explorer.

The turquoise dropdown in the top bar is used to select which logger you are working with. Your selection is remembered across pages.

• 1Click the ↻ refresh button next to the dropdown to scan for available loggers. The status below the dropdown shows how many were found.
• 2Select a logger from the dropdown. The page reloads automatically and all data on the current page will update to reflect the selected logger.
• 3The status chip next to the dropdown shows the selected logger's name; its pulsing dot indicates that a logger is currently selected.

Use the icons in the rail on the left edge to navigate between pages — hover over an icon to see its name. The currently active page is highlighted with a turquoise accent line. All pages share the same logger selection. On small screens the rail collapses into a dropdown menu behind the ☰ button in the top bar.

The sun/moon button in the top bar switches between the dark theme and a high-contrast light theme designed for outdoor use in bright sunlight. Your choice is saved in the browser and applies to all pages. The sign-in page always uses the dark theme.

This card connects directly to the selected logger and requests its current status. It displays a live readout of four key indicators and the current supply voltage.

Two buttons at the bottom allow you to remotely Run (start logging) or Stop (halt logging) the selected logger.

This card queries the database monitoring system and displays the latest alert status for two automated checks associated with the selected logger.

Each alert shows its status level (OK, WARN, or CRIT) and the timestamp of the last check.

Enter the new name in the text field and click Apply. Use lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens (e.g. site-north-01). The name becomes the database measurement identifier for all sensors on this logger.

To save battery power, you can restrict the time window during which the logger accepts remote connections (e.g. SSH or this web interface) to a single one-hour slot per day.

Select a wake-up window (UTC) from the dropdown and click Apply. The logger will only be reachable during that hour. Outside of that window it will be in a low-power sleep state.

Set the option to Always on to keep the logger continuously reachable, at the cost of higher power consumption.

Controls how frequently the logger uploads recorded measurements to the database. A longer interval means fewer uploads and significantly lower power consumption.

Select the desired interval and click Apply.

Displays the current power saving configuration retrieved from the logger, including which power-saving modes are active and their current parameter values.

The Dashboard gives you a fast “is everything running?” overview of all your loggers on one screen, so you don't need a separate tool just to confirm everything is healthy. It is organised into tabs along the top: one fixed Overview tab plus any custom dashboards you create yourself.

A time range selector in the toolbar applies to the active tab: Last 24 h, 7 days (default), 30 days, or 90 days. Click ↻ Refresh to reload the data. The Dashboard does not update live — loggers only send new values every few minutes to hours, so a manual refresh is all you need.

The Overview tab needs no setup. It shows one health tile per logger in your projects, each summarising that logger's condition at a glance:

Beyond the built-in tabs you can build your own dashboards for the measurements that matter to you. Each is a grid of mini-charts, one per (logger + parameter) you choose. Your dashboards are saved to your account, so they reappear on your next visit and on any device.

• 1Click the ＋ New tab and give the dashboard a name.
• 2Click ✎ Edit, pick a Logger and a Parameter, then press Add tile. Repeat to add as many tiles as you like.
• 3Remove a tile with the ✕ beside it in the edit panel.
• 4Use Rename or Delete dashboard to manage it, and Done to close editing.

This page lets you view and configure the sensors connected to the selected logger. Sensors are organised by protocol across three tabs: SDI-12, Analog, and Pulse. Port boxes at the top of each tab show which ports are in use (highlighted) and which are empty.

When you add or edit a sensor you can link it to a Sensor Model from the Sensor Database. That link is what lets the system store readable parameter names and units alongside the incoming data automatically — so you no longer relabel data by hand afterwards.

Each add/edit form (on all three tabs) has a Sensor Model dropdown listing the models defined in the Sensor Database. Choosing a model tells the system which physical quantity each of the sensor's channels represents. On every upload the logger's raw channels are then resolved to the model's parameter and unit — and, for analog/pulse sensors, converted from the raw signal (mV, counts) to a physical value using the model's slope/intercept.

The logger supports up to 12 SDI-12 ports. The table shows each port's protocol, sensor type, measurement interval, and sensor name.

• 1Click ↺ Get sensors to query the logger and populate the table with currently connected SDI-12 sensors.
• 2Click a port box to select it (it will highlight in turquoise).
• 3Click Edit sensor to open a form where you can update the sensor name and measurement interval for that port.
• 4Submit the form to apply the changes to the logger.

The logger supports up to 4 analog ports. These are typically used for 0–10 V or 4–20 mA sensors.

• 1Click + Add / Edit to open a form. Enter the port number, sensor type, sensor name, and measurement interval.
• 2Submit to write the sensor configuration to the logger.
• 3To remove a sensor, click Remove, enter the port number, and confirm.

The logger supports up to 2 pulse counter ports, typically used for rain gauges or flow meters. The workflow is identical to the Analog tab: use + Add / Edit to configure a port and Remove to delete a sensor assignment.

The Sensor Database is the catalogue of sensor models and, for each model, the channels (measurement values) it reports. It replaces logger-side programming: once a model is defined here and linked to a sensor in Sensor Configuration, every measurement is stored with the correct parameter name and unit automatically.

The top table lists all known sensor models. Each has a manufacturer, model name, an optional description, and a sensor type (SDI-12, Analog, Pulse, or RS232).

• 1Expand Add / update a sensor model, fill in manufacturer, model and sensor type, and click Save model.
• 2For SDI-12 you can optionally tick Auto-detection and enter the SDI-12 identity string (the sensor's “I” command response) so matching sensors are recognised automatically.
• 3Click a row to select a model and edit its channels below.

A sensor sends one or more values in a fixed order — value 1 is channel 1, and so on (check the sensor's handbook). For each channel you record what it measures:

The Data Explorer page has a two-panel layout: an interactive map on the left showing all logger locations, and a data panel on the right for filtering, visualising, and downloading data from the database.

All loggers that have GPS coordinates registered in the database appear as pins on the map. Click a pin to open a popup showing the logger's latitude, longitude, supply voltage, and last-seen timestamp.

The map opens in satellite view (Esri World Imagery) by default, centred on Freiburg im Breisgau until the logger locations have loaded. Use the 🛰 Satellite Map / ☀ Street Map button in the top-right corner of the map to switch between the satellite imagery and the OpenStreetMap street layer — the button always shows the view you will switch to.

Click a logger card in the right panel to select it. Once selected, the data filter form unlocks.

You can flag periods of data with a quality grade so anyone reading the data knows how far to trust it. Grades appear in the preview table and the CSV, and colour the chart points: good, fair, poor.

• 1Pick the logger, the measurement, and the From / To range you want to grade.
• 2Click Grading, choose a grade (with an optional note), and click Set.
• 3Existing graded periods are listed below — edit (✎) or delete (✕) them there. Where periods overlap, the most recent grade wins.

Calibration converts a raw sensor signal to a physical value: physical = raw × slope + intercept. A model's default calibration comes from the Sensor Database; here you can set a calibration that applies from a chosen date onward — useful when a sensor is re-calibrated in the field, while older data keeps its previous factors.

• 1Select the logger, the measurement, and the start date (From).
• 2Click Calibration and enter Slope and Intercept. Leave “From onward” ticked for an open-ended period, or untick it to limit the change to the From / To range.
• 3Click Set, then switch the Source to Calibrated to see the result. Existing periods can be edited or removed in the list below.

Set the From and To datetime fields to define the query window. Click ↔ Max range to automatically fill in the earliest and latest timestamps available in the database for the current filter selection.

Click ▶ Preview to fetch data from the database and display it in an overlay panel at the bottom of the map, without downloading a file.

The preview panel can be viewed in two modes, switchable with the toggle buttons in the panel header:

Close the preview with the ✕ button in the panel header.

Click ↓ Download CSV to export the currently filtered data as a comma-separated values file. The file contains timestamps, field names, values, and all associated tags.

If one or more loggers are present in the database but have no GPS coordinates registered, a pink badge appears on the + Add Logger Location section showing how many are missing. Expand the section to register their location.

• 1Select the logger from the dropdown (only loggers without coordinates are listed).
• 2Enter Latitude and Longitude in WGS84 decimal degrees (e.g. 47.9569 / 7.8381).
• 3Enter the Logger Model and Project name.
• 4Optionally upload a Station Photo by clicking the photo drop area.
• 5Click Save. The logger will appear on the map after the next page refresh.

Expand the 📷 Station Photos section to update or replace the photo for an existing logger station. Select the logger from the dropdown, choose a new image file, and save.

Incoming measurements are already labelled with the correct parameter name and unit automatically (via the Sensor Database), so there is no manual relabelling step here anymore. This page is for deriving new time series from existing data and saving them back as Processed Data — for example hourly averages, daily totals, or a value computed with a formula.

Two kinds of calculation are available: Aggregation and Formula. Results are saved as new series alongside the originals and never overwrite them.

Choose the Logger whose data you want to work with. The parameter dropdowns in the calculation panels below are then filled from that logger's available measurements.

Pick the input Source — Raw data (sensor channels) or Processed data (already-derived series) — and the time window to read. Tick Entire time range to include all history, or set From and To manually.

Aggregate an existing parameter over a fixed time window and save the result as a new dataset in the database.

Write a custom mathematical formula that combines several parameters from the selected logger. The result is saved to the database as a new dataset with a user-defined parameter name and unit.

The variables available in the formula correspond to the parameters available for the selected logger. The formula is evaluated point-by-point over the selected time range.

The Administration page is only visible to the admin account. It is where users, projects, and logger-to-project assignments are managed. Project accounts do not see this page in the navigation rail.

The page is organised into three cards: Users, Projects, and Logger assignments.

The Users card lists every project account in the system, along with its assigned projects and any flags. Each row has actions for editing project assignments, resetting the password, and deleting the user.

Add user — fill in the inline form at the bottom of the card:

• 1Enter a Username (max 32 chars).
• 2Enter an initial Password — minimum 10 characters with a mix of letters, digits, and symbols. Share it with the user through a secure channel.
• 3Select one or more Projects in the multi-select list (hold Ctrl / Cmd to pick more than one).
• 4Click Create user. The new account appears in the table immediately.

Projects group loggers together. A project account can only see loggers belonging to its assigned projects — this is the primary access-control mechanism in the studio.

Add project — fill in the inline form:

• 1Enter a Project name.
• 2Optionally add a Description.
• 3Click Create project.

This table is the link between hardware and projects. Each row represents one logger that has reported in to the database, along with its assigned project (if any).

The end-to-end workflow for taking a freshly delivered TX1000 from the box to a project account:

• 1Power on the logger in the field. See the Hardware tab for first-time setup details.
• 2Wait for the logger to send its first data transmission. The unassigned-loggers banner on this page will then show one new entry.
• 3Open Logger assignments and pick the appropriate project from the dropdown in the new logger's row.
• 4If the project does not exist yet, create it in the Projects card first.
• 5If a new account is needed for that project, create it in the Users card with the project ticked in the multi-select.

Click the turquoise i button in the bottom-left corner of any page to open the info panel. It contains two items:
