IMPORTANT: The Current Date and Time is not updated during data entry. You
must consider any delays from the time you enter the Report Start Time until you
exit the Configuration Main Menu. Be sure to set the Report Start Time far
enough ahead of the current time to complete all configurations and exit
configuration mode.
NOTE: When using Schedule Reporting Method and the PDI is initially reporting,
if you enter into the menu-driven mode of configuration and exit, the PDI will not
resume reporting event samples until the programmed Report Start Time elapses.
You may program the PDI without disrupting event sample reporting by using
dynamic configuration (see Section 5.2).
5.1.4.3 REPORT INTERVAL
By responding to the Enter Selection: message at the end of the Reporting Setup
Menu on page 23 with "3" (Report Interval), you may program the time interval
between reporting periods when using Schedule Reporting Method. The PDI will
respond with the Report Interval menu as follows:
REPORT INTERVAL
Report Interval......................HH:MM
Enter Hours (0-24) <cr>, or X to Exit:
Enter Minutes (0-59) <cr>, or X to Exit:
Enter the desired Report Interval. The Report Interval can range from 1 minute to
24 hours. Once the Report Start Time elapses, the PDI will report all buffered
event samples to the designated host module until the buffer is empty. The PDI
will continue to transmit all buffered event samples every time the Report Interval
expires. For example, if the Report Start Time is 12:00 and the Report Interval is
1:00 (1 hour), the PDI will report all messages in its buffer every hour on the hour
starting at 12:00.
