6. The following checkboxes are:
•
"Accept Data From Device" – allows the user to set whether the software accepts wireless data
from each device in the list. This is useful if it is necessary to isolate data reception to certain
transmitters in certain locations.
•
"Display Data on Wireless Graph" – allows the user to set whether the software displays
wireless data from each device in the list. This is useful if it is desirable to only view data from
certain devices.
•
"Automatically Save Data" – allows the user to set whether the software will automatically save
data from each device in the list. This is useful if you want to archive data from some devices, but
not all of them.
•
"Browse" button - allows the user to program the directory where saved data is archived.
•
The drop down menu allows users to program the data to automatically save after a certain
amount of data has been received.
7. Careful use of Autosave – It is recommended that Manual save be used in most cases. If Autosave
of wireless data is needed for record keeping purposes, use a longer autosave interval as the number
of received data loggers increases. Autosave interval is set as default at every 500 readings. When
using 1-2 loggers, 200 reading interval will be OK; while when using 10 loggers, 1000 reading
interval is recommended. Autosave feature will be improved when Dwyer implements XML file
format for autosave in the future release.

to 4800). To access the real time wireless alarming functions, follow these steps:
