TAKING “MANUAL” READINGS
Devices collect data in “tests” but you can get a quick “manual” reading
from any device apart from a test, even while a test is running. This can
aid in positioning a pressure probe in a well, and also confirm that the
device is operating properly.
1. In the Navigation tree, click or tap Parameters.
2. In the Information pane, select a parameter.
3. Click or tap Read. A current reading will be displayed.
• Readings will be in default units until you specify your unit prefer-
ences (Win-Situ: Options menu; Pocket-Situ: Setup).
• If a test is running and the device is about to take a test reading,
the request may have to be sent several times.
SETTING A DEVICE NAME
The software recognizes a device by its serial number. In addition, you
can assign a meaningful description—such as a well or site name, location
coordinates, etc.—to be displayed in the Navigation tree and data files.
1. With the device selected in the Navigation tree, click or tap Edit....
2. In the Device Wizard, select Name.
3. Enter a new name for the device (up to 16 characters)
4. When you finish the Wizard, the information is sent to the device and
the display is updated.
