In the Office
You can create a Low-Flow template from a desktop or
laptop computer and email it to technicians in the field. If
you do not create a template, you can set up the test in the
field. You can calibrate the water-quality sensors in the
office or in the field.
1. To create a Low-Flow template, install the Low-Flow
software on your computer.
Set up an email account on the iPod for
template and data transfer. Go to Settings >
Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Accounts and
enter your email information.
After you return the equipment to the factory,
all information will be erased from the iPod, or
you can delete the account yourself.
2. Open the software and follow the Wizard to enter your
project information.
