Options
The following two options can be set:
1) Automatically Check Datalogger Status – This option allows you to
determine when the datalogger status is automatically checked. The
options include After Connection, After Program Send, and/or On Interval.
The status values checked include the following: PakBus Address,
WatchDog Errors, Skipped Scans, Skipped Slow Scans, Skipped Records,
Variable Out of Bounds, Program Errors, Battery Voltage, Lithium
Battery, Number of times voltage has dropped below 12V, Number of
times voltage has dropped below 5V, Stack Errors, and Calibration Errors.
Note that not all status values are applicable to all dataloggers. Only those
status values applicable to the current datalogger will be checked.
If a problem is found during a datalogger status check, the status table will
pop-up along with a warning indicating the problem that has been
identified.
2) Show Hints – The Show Hints option is used to turn on/off the tool tips
that appear when your mouse hovers over a control (button or field). When
a check mark appears beside the menu item, the tool tips will be displayed.
When the check mark does not appear beside the menu item, no tool tips
will be displayed. This menu item is a toggle; select it to change its state.
LogTool
Sooner or later in the real world, every communications link has some
problem. Sometimes these problems resolve themselves, such as when phone
lines are busy at first, but become available as other users complete their tasks.
When resolving communications problems is not straightforward, the LogTool
can let someone analyze the details of communications activity. The LogTool
is accessed from the Tools | LogTool menu item.
