1.3.3.3 Scheduled Collection Tab

The Scheduled Collection tab defines when PondView will automatically
collect data from the CR10X-TD.

Scheduled Collection Enabled - This check box activates the data collection
schedule defined on this tab. This box must be checked.

Initial Date - Leave as default date.

Initial Time - Set this 10 seconds after the hour. This allows all wireless
probes to respond to the CR10X before data collection begins.

Collection Interval - This is the interval at which the CR10X-TD will be
queried for new data. If this interval is set at 10 minutes, new data will be
collected from the CR10X-TD every 10 minutes. One minute is generally
quick enough for most data collection. Longer times or shorter times may be
set depending upon how frequently data must be updated.

Primary Retry Interval- If a data collection attempt is made but fails, you can
specify an interval on which another attempt will be made. The Primary Retry
Interval should always be greater than the Collection Interval.

Number of Primary Retries - The number entered into this field is the number
of times PondView will attempt to contact the CR10X-TD on the Primary
Retry Interval. If the number of collection attempts specified are unsuccessful,
then the server will revert to calling on the Secondary Retry Interval.

Secondary Retry Interval - The Secondary Retry Interval is a calling interval
that will be attempted if all Primary Retries have failed. The Connection
Status Screen Alarm on the PondView screen will be activated if the
Secondary Retry Interval is reached. Data collection attempts will continue on
the Secondary Interval until a data collection attempt is successful, at which
time all retry statistics are reset.
