13. Click on the “ASCII Setup” button.
14. The “Line Delay” box is defaulted to 0 milliseconds. This is where you will

tell the program how often to read a line from the script file you’ve created.

1000 milliseconds is one second, so if you want a line of data every 30 seconds,

you would enter 30000 into the box. If you want a line every 5 minutes, you

would enter 300000 into the box.
15. When you have entered the value you want, click on OK and OK in the

Properties dialog box.
16. Go the Transfer menu and select “Send Text File…” (NOT Send File…).
17. Browse and select the text “script” file you created.
18. Click Open.
19. The program will begin “executing” your script file, reading one line at

a time with the line delay you specified and the flow device will respond by

sending one line of data for each poll it receives, when it receives it.
You can also capture the data to another file as described in the manual

under “Collecting Data”. You will be simultaneously sending it a script file and

capturing the output to a separate file for analysis.
