Com Status
Below is a list and description of the different com status icons:
Sensor is not activated (turned off).
Sensor is collecting without errors.
Sensor is active but is experiencing intermittent problems.
Sensor is active but is currently in an error state.
When you turn on a sensor, the com status icon will change from gray to green, red or yel-
low. Conversely, if you turn a sensor off, the status icon will change to gray.
Data Status
Below is a list and description of the different data status icons:
Sensor is not activated (turned off).
Valid data is being collected.
Data is being collected but a few data intervals are missing.
Data is being collected but data is missing or collection is slow.
When you turn on a sensor, the data status icon will change from gray to green, red or yel-
low. Conversely, if you turn a sensor off, the status icon will change to gray.
Communication Status Graph
The communication status graph is a record of recent history arranged chronologically. The
graph is divided into 100 bars, with each bar representing one connection attempt. The first
bar on the right represents the most recent connection attempt. A green status bar means
that communication to the sensor was successful; a red status bar means that an error oc-
curred.
The communication status graph provides a clearer picture as to the communication condi-
tion of a sensor. The graph can be interpreted using the following information:
˽ No red bars represents consistent communication.
˽ Occasional red bars represent inconsistent communication.
˽ Many red bars grouped together may represent an isolated incident where communi-
cation is down and the sensor is unavailable.
When a sensor is first added to the system, the graph will show white spaces instead of
green or red bars. An inactive sensor that was previously active will show the most recent
100 collection intervals, along with the date/time that Collector last attempted to commu-
nicate/collect data from the sensor.
