5. Start Mode
5a Manual. A manual start test can be started at any time while the device
is connected to a PC by pressing the Start button. This mode is useful,
for example, when you want to synchronize the start of data collection
with an external event like starting a pump.
5b Scheduled. A scheduled start test will start at the date and time you
specify. The time proposed is 10 minutes ahead of the current device
time. You may use the arrows beside the list boxes to choose a start
time and date, or key in the desired start time and date.
ENDING SETUP
After you select the test options and click Finish, the information will be
sent to the device and the new test will appear in the Navigation tree.
To let you know which tests can be started with the Start button, the
software displays a different symbol for each start type:
Manual start test (you start)
Scheduled start test (starts by itself)
SECTION 8: LOGGING DATA
The time proposed
for a Scheduled
start is calculated
by adding 10 minutes to the
current device time. In
Pocket-Situ this is your only
indication of the device
time. If the proposed time
by this definition is wrong,
cancel the test setup and
set the device clock before
scheduling tests.
TIP: In entering the
Scheduled Start
time, keep in mind
that when this test starts, it
will automatically stop a
running test.
TIP: The end of a test cannot be programmed in advance. In
most cases, the Stop button is the only way to end a test.
Exceptions: A test stops automatically (1) when another
scheduled test starts, (2) when the device memory is full; in this
case the test may indicate “ABEND” (ABnormal END) in the
Navigation tree, (3) if a loss of power occurs; in this case the test
may indicate “ABEND” in the Navigation tree.
