4. Enter the directory of the .exe file for the spreadsheet application you wish to use. For example, if you wish to use Microsoft®
Excel™, you would not enter: excel.exe. Instead, you would enter something similar to: C:\Program Files\Microsoft
Office\Office12\EXCEL.EXE (Figure 3.23). Check your computer’s directory to find the exact file path.

3.3.3 CLEAR DATA TABLE
Click the Clear button to wipe all live data that has been collected since you entered Data Scout. After you click Clear, click OK to
confirm the memory wipe.
3.4 PARAMETERS TAB
Clicking the Parameters tab displays the Level Scout’s model number, serial number, firmware version and the current date and time.
Next to the date and time, a value under ‘deviation’ is listed. This is the Level Scout’s time deviation away from the PC’s current data
and time. For example, -00:00:01 would indicate that the Level Scout’s time is 1 second behind the PC’s clock. Perfect
synchronization is not easy to obtain and a synchronization within plus or minus 1 second is adequate.
All live level and temperature data acquisition is ceased when the Parameters tab is selected.
3.4.1 CHANGE TRANSDUCER DATE AND TIME
The Level Scout has an internal calendar/clock. That clock must be synchronized to the desired time standard so that recorded data can
be accurately time stamped. The transducer internal clock may be adjusted to an absolute date and time or may be synced with the
device running Data Scout. The display below the Change Date/Time button shows the current transducer date and time on the left
and the differential between the device clock and the transducer in Hours: Minutes: Seconds to the right. Clicking on the Change
Date/Time button opens the ‘Change Date/Time’ window which allows the user to adjust the Level Scout’s internal clock (Figure 3.24).
Click the “Set Date/Time to Specific Value” radio button to input the desired date and time. Click the radio button next to “Sync
Date/Time with Host PC” to adjust the date and time to match the computer. Click OK to confirm the update.
