4.7.6 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.
