11. 7 Configuring the Automatic Readout
With the automatic readout, data are automatically queried from the Sunny Boy
Control at intervals of a length which you define, and are saved in Sunny Data Control.
Only the devices currently included in the device overview ("Spotvalues" tab) are taken
into account.
The automatic readout can only be performed if the PC is switched on, and if Sunny
Data Control has been launched.
11.7. 1 Setting a Task
1. Select "Options / Settings", or click on the "Settings" icon. The "Set-
tings" window opens.
2. Select "Automatic Readout".
3. Add a check mark beside "Active" by clicking in the check box.
4. Click on <+> (see figure above).
With the Sunny Beam, the function "Automatic Readout" only makes sense if the
Sunny Beam is permanently connected to the PC with a USB cable.
During the automatic readout, the spot value querying does not update until the
readout is complete. In the bar at the lower edge of the screen, you can see wheth-
er data are currently being read out (see figure).
