a telephone line (remote, land-line communication), or a direct
connection cable (on-site communication).
Special software called Profile ® enables the user to configure and
communicate with the monitor for activation, data collection, and
diagnostic purposes. Configuration involves defining the location
information file (LIF) for storage in the user's local directory and
building the code and variables for the site. The LIF contains
information such as monitor identification, selected devices,
alarm/event notification settings, data log rate, and other parameters
necessary for measuring rain both accurately and efficiently.
Activation involves downloading the firmware (embedded software)
code and site-specific information from the LIF (stored in the user's
local directory or network drive) to the monitor. It also includes
initiating monitor activities such as logging rain data and managing
event notification and alarming.
Profile also enables the user to process the rain data, generate
graphical and tabular reports, organize data in the user's local
directory, and maintain logs of communication between the monitor
and the user's PC.
Note: Refer to the Profile User's Guide (#950015**) for
