Notice that there are two folders: Site/Timing and Communication/Power. Site/Timing
should appear first and the Description box may be highlighted. By default, it reads
<noname100>. The record number 100 may be any number between 100 and 999 since this
value increments each time a new field station is added. You may type in a description of your
choice or you may tab to the next box, therefore accepting the default description. In our
example we type in Clear Lake, Dock 2 to identify the location we are using.
The next box lists sample interval. This is the time that elapses between samples being logged to
the 6200 DCP. The default value is 15. We suggested above that we would change this to 30
minutes to illustrate the use of system setup changes. Do not confuse this with EcoWatch DCP
interrogation timing. Even when EcoWatch DCP is not running, the DCP continues to log data
to its memory once it has been configured.
Interrogation timing is listed under the Interrogation Schedule as shown below. In this example
interrogation time also changes to 30 minutes (i.e. Same as Sample Interval). We will not
change this now, but if you wanted to phone in data via modem only once or twice a day, this can
easily be configured under Interrogate every… [ ] minutes, as seen in the second
interrogation schedule option.
