Isco Flowlink 5.1 ® Software
Site Window - Field Wizard
Date/Time Box - displays the instrument’s and your computer’s
time. These two times can be synchronized by pressing the
“Synchronize Instrument’s Time To Computer’s” button. Use the
Synchronize button with caution. Changing the time may affect
the readings stored in the instrument’s memory partitions.
Changing the time may cause readings to be overwritten, or
“gaps” in readings may occur. It is recommended that you
retrieve data from the instrument before synchronizing the time
and date.
If the Field Wizard is not in standalone mode, and is connected to
Flowlink while part of a 2100 Series stack, the Instrument’s
Time field will not be active.

that comprise each site.
The top section of the display lists the interrogated site’s name,
the date and time it was last interrogated, and whether the files
are in a saved state.
When you select a site name, the bottom section of the display
will list the modules that exist at that site. When you select a
module and click the Details button, it will display more details
about that module.
The 2101 Field Wizard is a portable data retrieval module
designed to collect data from, or “interrogate” Isco 2100 Series
flow modules. It then is able to transfer that data to Flowlink.
The Field Wizard may also serve as a local display and keypad
for a 2100 Series site.
Use the Quick Connect window to begin communications
between Flowlink and the Field Wizard.
