CONNECT WINDOW
General communications include: collect data,
send and retrieve programs, monitor
measurements in real time, graph real time
data, etc. PC208W/Connect window supports
these general communication tasks. First
establish a communication link. This can only
be done after the RF communication path has
been setup in the Setup Window. To establish
a communication link, open the Connect
Window. The Connect Window has three tabs
along the bottom. First select the tools tab then
select the datalogger of interest in the Station
List. Using the Connect button of the Connect
Window, initiate the connect sequence. The
computer is communicating with the datalogger
(on line) when the Terminate button changes to
Disconnect. With the datalogger on line, the
Collect or Collect All buttons will collect data
from the datalogger. The Send and Receive
buttons will send a program to the datalogger or
receive a program from the datalogger
respectively. The set datalogger clock button
will set the datalogger clock to match the
computer clock. The Launch Graphs section
has three buttons used to Launch Graphs of
real time data. The Numeric Display tab will
show real time data. See your PC208W manual
for details on using PC208W.
