4.6.5.2 Options
The following two options can be set to control the general operation of
RTDAQ:
Automatically Check Datalogger Status - This option allows you to
determine when the datalogger status table is automatically checked. The
options include After Connection, After Program Send, and/or On Interval.
The status values checked include the following: PakBus Address, WatchDog
Errors, Skipped Scans, Skipped Slow Scans, Skipped Records, Variable Out of
Bounds, Program Errors, Battery Voltage, Lithium Battery, Number of times
voltage has dropped below 12V, Number of times voltage has dropped below
5V, Stack Errors, and Calibration Errors. Note that not all status values are
applicable to all dataloggers. Only those status values applicable to the current
datalogger will be checked.
If a problem is found during a datalogger status check, the status table will pop
up along with a warning indicating the problem that has been identified.
Show Hints - The Show Hints option is used to turn on/off the tool tips that
appear when your mouse hovers over a control (button or field). When a
check mark appears beside the menu item, the tool tips will be displayed.
When the check mark does not appear beside the menu item, no tool tips will
be displayed. This menu item is a toggle; select it to change its state.
4.6.5.3 LogTool
Sooner or later every communications link will experience some problems.
Sometimes these problems resolve themselves, such as when phone lines are
busy at first, but become available as other users complete their tasks.
When the resolution of communications problems is not straightforward, the
LogTool application can allow detailed analysis of communications activity.
LogTool is accessed from the Tools | LogTool menu item.
