are using a Radio Communication network, each unit must have a unique slave

ID.

Communicating with the Unit

Return to the Unit Database form and click the Online button.
An interim Connecting form appears briefly as your computer connects to the unit.
The Main Programming form appears. You may now begin programming.
The Register Verification process will run in the background until it finishes comparing the

software in the computer with that in the RTU. This procedure is required to ensure data

integrity among multiple users of the unit. The Register Verification status bar shows the

download progress and can be hidden or displayed at the user’s discretion by clicking on

View>Register Verification from the main menu and selecting Show Register Verification. If you

choose not to view Register Verification, the clock showing Local Unit Time indicates if you

are communicating with the RTU. If the time on the clock is not moving (advancing), then

you are not in fact connected. If you view Register Verification at that point, you will not see

any progress in the status bar.
