4.6.1.9 Synchronize Data with the Data Logger
Data synchronized includes meter reads, site configuration, and exceptions.
Newer data always overwrites older data, so be sure you are not overwriting
changes made on the other end of the synchronization. The easiest way to
make sure of this is to perform a synchronization before making any changes,
ensuring that you start with the newest data in your software and data logger.
• If you are performing a synchronization where there are site configuration
updates in either TapWatch 3 or the data logger, TapWatch 3 will
recommend whether to click Publish or Retrieve. In most cases, the
recommended action is the correct one.
• If you are performing a synchronization where there are site configuration
updates in both TapWatch 3 and the data logger, TapWatch 3 will ask you
which updates to keep. Forced Retrieve will keep the updates from the
data logger; Forced Publish will keep the updates from TapWatch 3. In
most cases it is recommended to click Forced Retrieve.
• If you try to synchronize data with a site that is not registered to
TapWatch.com but which has been selected as a TapWatch.com site on
the Settings screen, a window with a list of blank data loggers will display.
Highlight the appropriate data logger and click Publish.
• If you are publishing to a blank data logger, you will be prompted that
TapWatch 3 detects a site configuration change. The recommended
action is to click Publish.
To synchronize data with the data logger:
1. Navigate to File > Connect > Sync; or, click on the Connect/Sync button.
2. Synchronization progress will display in the status bar.
