4.7.1.13 Sgl Level
Displays the signal level of the message as measured by the RF gateway. The
signal level indicates the signal’s relative strength. The higher the value, the
stronger the signal strength.
4.7.1.14 Sgl Margin
Displays the signal margin of the message as measured by the RF gateway.
The signal margin is the measurement of the decibel level of the message,
minus the decibel level of any interfering signals. Inovonics recommends that
equipment be placed within a facility such that all end devices produce signal
margin readings of at least 10 decibels.
4.7.1.15 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.
