Control Bar and Refresh Tab

Use the Control Bar to choose the time, date, and duration of the trending information

displayed on the graphs. The graphs are all tied to the same ‘x’ scale so that you can more easily

correlate data between the graphs.

Note the following:

Start Date (mm/dd/yy): Once a unit has been in operation for 24 hours or more, use the

drop-down list to select a date – up to a maximum of 28 days, including the present date –

from which to compile data. If a unit has not been in operation for 24 hours, only present

will be available.

Time: Once a unit has been in operation for 24

hours or more, use this drop-down list to select the

time on the hour – 24 hours, from 12 am to 11 pm, are available. Note that, for the first 24

hours of operation (or beyond if the time has accrued), if you select present as the Start

Date, then the Time drop-down list becomes unavailable for selection and dim as shown

here.

Duration: Use the drop-down list to select the block of time in which data is compiled for

the graphs. Select 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, 4 hours, 6 hours, 8 hours, 12 hours, 24

hours, or 48 hours.

The LPOD stores the trending data to flash memory once per hour. If you power

down the unit before the data can be written to memory, the last 60 minutes of

data will be lost.

Click [Submit] to execute the choice once the configuration parameters have been defined;

then, click the [Refresh] tab to update the graphs with the most current trending parameters

(note that when the page refreshes, the Power Graph resets to display the default unit of dBm).
