Just brouse the English Forums for a while. That will help, a lot.
First, What equipment do you have? Aquaero 5 Pro is what I am useing now, with an Aquastream XT pump, a Multiswitch and four fan channels run from the Aquero 5 (AQ5), with a old style High Flow Meter and an Aquatube with tubemeter.
First be aware that there are two Aquasuites, an OLD version, 4.72, which does not run at the same time as the New Current version, Aquasuite 2012. You can operate everything from AS2012 now, except some functions of Aquastream pumps and the Multiswitch.
Second, any extra components, such as Power Adjust 2, D5 pumps, MPS sensors, must be connected, one at a time, via USB to the motherboard and have firmware updates installed, and component ID #'s changed.
With Aquasuite 2012, the components installed via USB will show up on the left pane, under Overview Pages.Click on the tab, ie, Aquero 5, and the sub tabs scroll down. Go to the bottom tab marked System. Click on that and a page opens to the right with buttons to show device information and Firmware updates and profiles and time settings.
First thing is to update the AQ5 firmware to current 1025. Some people have run into problems just hitting the update button without restoring factory defaults. I have not had a problem with that at all. Next, note the two buttons under Profiles. These can be used to save the names, controller curves and almost everything else you change in AS2012. Click on Export profile to save your work, then you can use Import to recover if you glitch up. Note that this does not always work when a new Beta update comes out, but sometimes it does. So when you "Finish" (Ha!) your setupo, make sure you keep a hard copy of sensor names and controllers and everything else.
Time settings are a little tricky, but not really. The timezone is Grennwhich standard. So if you live in the Central time zone, set the timezone for -6 and hit syncronize time. That should uppdate your AQ5 to current time in your location. Note, if your computer does not maintain +5vDC on the USB when shut down, the AQ5 will power off and the time settingsa will go away. If the AQ5 screen gets dark, but stioll shows data, then the time problem is not an issue. Aquacomputer sells both a wire harness to get standby power from the computer power supply, and an add on real time battery back up time unit.
If you go to the bottom of the levt hand pane of AS2012, under the Aquasuite tab there is a settings tab, click on it and the right hand pane will change. This is where you set temperature and flow value units and other things. All three items under Application startup should be checked. DO NOT put Aquasuite 2012 in a windows start up folder! It will crash forever.
Check that Aquaservice is installed and running
Back to the left pane. Next to Aquaero 5 is a floppy icon and a gear icon. The floppy icon forces a save of current configuration data to the AQ5, the gear is to change the other options, such as names etc. This is what you click to change the main screenslisted under Overview pages. At the top of the left hand pane, in overview pages there is a plus sign, use it to add new pages for various things. Now click on the gear icon for the Aquaero 5. On the right pane, you can change the name, import.export the page allow editing of the page and loading it automatically. Click Allow page edit, and then go to Aquaero5 page.Bottom right you will see a circled + sign, click on it and a list of things that can be added to the overview page will show up. This is how you pick what numbers/graphs/charts etc you want to see on the overview page. It is a little clumsy at first, but you can figure it out fairly easy.
Back to the left side, click on the Aquaero 5 tab and click on sensors, this is where youselect and name all of your temperature and flow sensors. At the top is physical 10kohm temperature thermisters. Click on the name and it opens to list all temperature installed on the AQ5, and all sensors installed on PA2, Aquastreams, MPS etc, if the other compunents are connected by Aquabus. Some sensors will show up if the components are only connected by USB. You can select the temperature sensors and chage their name and calibrate them by temperature offset. One user had a sensor that was reading 5 degrees C high, and this is where that gets fixed.
Virtual Temperature sensors are where you take two or three temperature sensors and combine them to produce things like temperature differenc for air or coolant accross the radiator, Or if you are runnig a three way SLI, you might put three temperature sensors on each card water outlet, and use a virtual sensor to average the temps. Whatever.
Software temperature sensors are tricky. If you are a real geek, you can find third party programs that will look uop the temperatures from your motherboard and hard drives, and then AS2012 can monitor 8 of them. These temps are for entertainment only, becuse they change very rapidly, and if a problem occurs, they default to 50c and stay put until you fix them.
Flow sensors are fairly self explanitory.
Power measurement is a real geek thing. This will calculate the heat produced by a CPU or Display card, or RAM block or anything else if the data source is available. For example, I have a CPU temperature out and Radiator temperature out and a flow meter. Drage a drop the flow 1 into flow sensor, and the CPU out into the middle box, and Radiator out into the last box. Now I have a CPU power reading of 137 watts. The equation does not work for air temperatures. And it is not 100% accurate either.
Next is the controller tab. Not too hard to figure out, click on the + sign to add a new controller, A scroll box shows up with allowed controller types. Pick one. Then click on the plus sign for data source and a list of available items shows up. click on the + sign at the far right under outputs, and the list of available outputs shows up. For example, I use a curve controller with Radiator Liquid Outlet temp as the data source, and Radiator fans as the oputput.
A quick note on fans. When you click on a fan it shows up with extra settings and a data display.You can set a minimum power and select hold so the fan runs at that speed and will not shut off. You can also select a power controlled or RPM controlle. Only use RPM for a PWN fan attached to Channel 4 of the Aquaero5. Also, Start Boost is used to get the fans rotating when started, some fans require say 7 vdc to start rotating, but will continue to rotate with only 5 vdc. Useing startboost allows this. You must disble startboost on any PA2's you have installed first though.
The Information Page tab is where you chage the pages the AQ5 shows on the display. The list on the right is what is currently showing in the AQ5, the list on the left is what is available to show. The drop down scroll box at the top is where flow meters and power calculation and graphs are selected from.
Hope this helps get you started.
