RBRquartz³ BPR without Ethernet

At the time of order, you can request your RBRquartz³ BPR wired for USB, RS-232, or RS-485. See RBRquartz³ BPR interface for more details on end-cap types.

Use Ruskin software to manage the deployment of any RBRquartz³ BPR variant without Ethernet.

Connecting to Ruskin

If your RBRquartz³ BPR has a connectorised end-cap, you do not need to open it. Simply connect your instrument to your computer using a compatible patch cable and it will appear on Ruskin.

Patch cables are sold separately. They will be shipped with your instrument if requested at the time of order.

If your RBRquartz³ BPR has a standard end-cap with no external connector, follow the steps below to access the internal USB-C port.

  1. Remove the battery end-cap. See Opening and closing the instrument.

  2. Locate the USB-C port inside the housing, next to the battery cover.

  3. Plug one end of the the USB cable (USB-C to USB-C, provided with your instrument) into this port and the other, in the USB port on your computer.

  4. The instrument will appear on Ruskin.

Deploying the RBRquartz³ BPR

  1. On Ruskin, select the required sampling mode and speed.

  2. Select "UTC" or "Local" to synchronise the instrument clock to the computer.

  3. Choose whether to start "now" or at a future point in time.

  4. Review the estimated end date to ensure it fulfils the deployment requirements. Longer deployments can be achieved with better battery chemistry or lower sampling speeds.

  5. Click "Enable" to start the deployment.
