CHAPTER 7 • SYSTEM PAGE 91
˽ Consecutive Failures Error Threshold – Shows the number of consecutive failed con-
nection attempts that need to occur for the status to change to “Error.”
˽ Recent Data Interval Expiration – Shows the number of collection interval time peri-
ods that can pass before the recent data is expired. This means that if a sensor has a col-
lection interval of 30 seconds (and an interval expiration setting of 3) and the Collector
is not able to retrieve data from that sensor for over 90 seconds then the recent data
will expire. When a sensor does not have valid recent data, Collector will not display
data for that sensor on either the Sensors page, the Sensor Config page, the TMDD
export, or recent data table. Whether a sensor has recent data or not has no effect on
sensor status.
Timer Settings
The Timer Settings section allows you to control when Collector downloads the current
configuration from each sensor, and to sync the onboard sensor clock with the current
server time (see Figure 7.10).
Figure 7.10 – Timer Settings
The Timer Settings section contains two automatic timers, which run on a fixed schedule,
as well as a time synchronization control. Below is a list and description of the timer setting
options:
˽ Update Config Timer – Runs an Update Configuration job for every sensor registered
in Collector and retrieves and saves the current configuration to the Collector data-
base. Selecting the Update Config Timer checkbox will toggle the automatic opera-
tions. The intervals will normally default to every 360 minutes (6 hours) and have a
minimum of 10 minutes. The Next Run field will show the next scheduled run based
on the current interval. An error alert will be displayed if the entered interval is invalid.
˽ Synchronize Clock Timer – Runs a Sync Time job for every sensor registered in Col-
lector and changes the onboard system time for each sensor to the time on the Collec-
tor server. Selecting the Synchronize Clock Timer checkbox will toggle the automatic
operations. The intervals will normally default to every 360 minutes (6 hours) and have
a minimum of 10 minutes. The Next Run field will show the next scheduled run based
on the current interval. An error alert will be displayed if the entered interval is invalid.
