poll by adding the amount of time specified in the custom time field to the time
of the previous poll.
After selecting the polling interval, choose which information you would like to download—the
Event Log and/or the Data Log. You may also choose to Reset the Data Log after download-
ing it to minimize the time of the call during the subsequent polls. Note, however, that this will
delete information in the SCADA 3000’s Data Logger, preventing another user from connect-
ing to the unit to retrieve the Data Log information. You can also print the downloaded Event
Log or Data Log by checking the appropriate boxes. When you have finished programming
the polling information, click OK.
General Setup
Next, click on the Setup tab of the Polling Schedule form. The screen shown below will
appear:
Figure 23: Polling Setup Tab
This screen contains general polling set-up parameters. The “Polling Enabled” option is, gen-
erally speaking, the polling on/off switch. If you enable it, all units in the polling schedule will
be called at their respective times. If you disable it, polling is turned off and no units will be
called. If you check “Enable polling on application startup” box, polling will be enabled every
time the SCADA 3000 software is run. If you do not check this box, polling will be disabled at
startup until you enable it manually. Checking this box is useful if you want your computer to
restart the polling process after it has rebooted for some reason such as loss of power or operat-
ing system malfunction. You may adjust the number of times the software tries to connect to
a unit if it happens to fail the first time. Enter the number in the “Retry Attempts” box. The
default setting is 3. You may also select how long to wait before retrying by entering the time
in minutes in the “Failure Delay” box. The default time is 5 minutes. When you have finished
setting these parameters, click OK.
The Results tab on the Polling Schedule form will store general polling related information
regarding polling failures, attempts, etc.
Changing the Polling Schedule
If you wish to change the polling schedule of a particular unit, simply click on the next sched-
uled poll from the Schedule tab and then click the Edit Poll button. Make your changes, then
click OK. The Polling Schedule form always shows the current polling schedule and updates its
information after each poll.
