If you are using the Model 3700 with a standalone mode, you
can use FTP or Enertrax DL to delete log files from the flash
memory.

With EnertraxDL, simply check the setup checkbox to delete log
data after download.

For FTP, the process is essentially the same process as the
manual FTP data download.

The mdel command will tell the FTP software to delete all files
ending in .gz in the current directory. Some FTP clients will allow
you to specify a command Prompt prior to using mdel that will
prevent the FTP client software from asking if you are sure you
wish to delete each file.

Linking to Model 3700 device Status Pages
It may be helpful to create a shortcut or a hyperlink on another
web page that will direct the browser to bring up a specific device
status page in your browser. To do this, right click on the page
and select properties. The URL for the page will be shown on
that dialog. Simply copy/paste this URL into your link.

The Model 3700 can provide Modbus device data in XML format.
This feature, coupled with browser based AJAX (Javascript)
can provide a very powerful tool to allow the creation of custom
web pages.
