follow the open database command. If a database is not specified,<br />

the default (last opened) database is assumed. When specifying<br />

graph/table and schedule names in command lines, they must<br />

appear exactly as shown in the workspace. Remember to use<br />

double-quotes for any names that contain spaces.<br />

Examples:<br />

• Open a specific database:<br />

c:\FL5\isco.exe /db<br />

"c:\FL5\data\isco.mdb"<br />

• Retrieve data from a site found in the default database:<br />

c:\FL5\isco.exe /int "Fifth and Vine"<br />

• Open a particular database and print a graph/table:<br />

c:\FL5\isco.exe /db c:\FL5\data\isco.mdb<br />

/pg "Manhole B5"<br />

• Import a file into the default (last) database:<br />

c:\FL5\isco.exe /imp "c:\My<br />

Documents\Main Street.csv"<br />

• Export a graph/table:<br />

c:\FL5\isco.exe /exp "Graph 723"<br />

• <strong>Manual</strong>ly run a schedule from the default database:<br />

c:\FL5\isco.exe /man "Run Daily at 08:00<br />

AM on Mo Tu We Th Fr"<br />

• Run a manual schedule from the default database:<br />

c:\FL5\isco.exe /man "<strong>Manual</strong> Retrieve<br />

Data Fifth and Vine"<br />

Notes:<br />

• Keep in mind that only one instance of the database may<br />

be in use at a time. <strong>Flowlink</strong> cannot perform a command<br />

line task if the requested database is already open.<br />

• The commands should be entered on a single line<br />

followed by a return. The line breaks in the above<br />

examples are due to limitations of the printed page<br />

margins.<br />

Manage the<br />

database<br />

Teledyne <strong>Isco</strong> recommends that you keep all of your sites in a<br />

single database. The single database allows you to use <strong>Flowlink</strong>’s<br />

abilities to meet your flow monitoring needs. <strong>Flowlink</strong> can<br />

perform advanced analysis (I&I, CSO, Flow comparisons,<br />

stormwater, etc.) on numerous sites, as long as it can access the<br />

data. More than one database would only be recommended when<br />

there is a need to perform independent studies, such as<br />

contractual or short-term analysis.<br />

To help maintain the database, consider the following:<br />

• Sorting Data in the workspace so sites are easy to find.<br />

• Defragment the Database at regular intervals.<br />

• Periodically Backup the Database for easy recovery.<br />
