elapsed since the last attempt, LoggerNet will immediately try to perform a

poll. In some cases, this may not be the desired behavior. Selecting the Stay

On Schedule check box will cause LoggerNet to always wait until the next

even

Normal Poll Interval

to perform a poll.

Base Date – Enter a date and a time that the first polling attempt for the device

should occur. If the date and time reflected by these fields has already passed,

polling will be attempted immediately when the schedule is enabled.

Normal Poll Interval – Enter the interval on which data should be collected

from the device.

Primary Retries Interval – Enter the interval at which primary retries will

take place. The collection schedule will switch to primary retries when a

communication or other error prevents a “normal” collect attempt from being

completed.

Max Primary Retries – Enter a value for the maximum number of data

collection attempts that should be made using the

Primary Retries Interval.

Once the number of primary retries is exhausted, data collection will be

attempted on the

Secondary Retries Interval if it is enabled. Otherwise, data

collection attempts will continue to be made on the

Normal Poll Interval.

Secondary Retries Interval – Enter the interval at which secondary retries

will take place.

Do Secondary Retries – Select this check box to enable secondary retries

when primary retries are exhausted. If this checkbox is not checked, the

collection schedule for the device will return to the

Normal Poll Interval after

primary retries are exhausted even if none of those retries succeeded.

Tables to Collect – This check list box specifies shows a check box for each

“table” that can be collected from the RWIS station that specifies whether that

table will be polled as part of scheduled collection. For more information on

available tables, refer to the online help.

File Open Mode – Specify, for the selected table, the method for writing the

table data to an output file when it is polled. Options for this control include

the following:

do not create – No file will be created for the selected table.

append to existing – If a data file already exists for the selected

table, new data records will be appended to the end of that file.

Otherwise, a new data file will be created.

overwrite existing – Any existing data file for the selected table will

be overwritten each time that a new record is collected.

unique name each time – A new data file will be created each time

that a record is collected for the specified table. The name of this file

will be unique and based, in part, on the timestamp for the record.
