this operation to succeed. When the “Send To Laptop” option of the SEND GRAPH softkey is selected,
the OmniLink will retrieve the tonnage waveform from the tonnage monitor and transfer it to the laptop.
The progress of the operations is shown at the top of the screen just above the tonnage graph in a special
progress window. Depending on the number of channels, the number of samples taken, and the way in
which that particular tonnage signature compresses the transmission time can vary from a few seconds to
thirty or forty seconds. After success or failure is reported, press any key to resume normal operation of
the screen.
Section 4.5.3.3 Send To Network
This option is only available if the LinkNet interface has been set up in auxiliary communications and
the network is “online”. When the “Send To Network” option of the SEND GRAPH softkey is
selected, the OmniLink will retrieve the tonnage waveform from the tonnage monitor and transfer it to
the network host computer. This will result in the tonnage waveform being shown in a window on the
LinkNet host computer. The waveform can then be printed, archived, or deleted as desired. The
progress of the operations is shown at the top of the screen just above the tonnage graph in a special
progress window. Depending on the number of channels, the number of samples taken, and the way in
which that particular tonnage signature compresses the transmission time can vary from a few seconds to
thirty or forty seconds. After success or failure is reported, press any key to resume normal operation of
the screen.
Section 4.5.3.4 Archive To Network
This option is only available if the LinkNet interface has been set up in auxiliary communications and
the network is “online”. When the “Archive To Network” option of the SEND GRAPH softkey is
selected, the OmniLink will retrieve the tonnage waveform from the tonnage monitor and transfer it to
the network host computer. This will result in the tonnage waveform being automatically archived into
the waveform database on the LinkNet host computer. The progress of the operations is shown at the
top of the screen just above the tonnage graph in a special progress window. Depending on the number
of channels, the number of samples taken, and the way in which that particular tonnage signature
compresses the transmission time can vary from a few seconds to thirty or forty seconds. After success
or failure is reported, press any key to resume normal operation of the screen. Note that this operation is
a restricted operation and may require the RUN/PROG key and/or an access code depending on system
configuration (see Section 2 for details).
Section 4.5.3.5 Print To Network
This option is only available if the LinkNet interface has been set up in auxiliary communications and
the network is “online”. When the “Print To Network” option of the SEND GRAPH softkey is selected,
the OmniLink will retrieve the tonnage waveform from the tonnage monitor and transfer it to the
network host computer. This will result in the tonnage waveform being automatically printed at the
configured printer from the LinkNet host computer. The progress of the operations is shown at the top
of the screen just above the tonnage graph in a special progress window. Depending on the number of
channels, the number of samples taken, and the way in which that particular tonnage signature
compresses the transmission time can vary from a few seconds to thirty or forty seconds. After success
or failure is reported, press any key to resume normal operation of the screen. Note that this operation is
