(modem modules)<br />
Select the sonde to configure from the Sonde: dropdown list.<br />
In the Define New Parameter box, select the Data Type from the<br />
dropdown list, name the parameter, and edit the Units of<br />
Measure if necessary. (Tip: To quickly locate the desired<br />
parameter in the Data Type list, click the arrow and type the<br />
first one or two letters.)<br />
If the desired data type is not in the dropdown list, you may<br />
select “User Defined.”<br />
Assign each parameter the appropriate number between 1 and<br />
20 in the field next to the Add button. This number corresponds<br />
to the index position of the desired parameter in the SDI-12 data<br />
string, obtained previously by connecting directly to the sonde<br />
using the manufacturer’s software, or from the sonde’s user<br />
manual. (For example, the manufacturer’s software may display<br />
the parameters in tabular format; the number assigned to the<br />
parameter may correspond to its column number in the table.<br />
Contact the sonde’s manufacturer for detailed instructions.)<br />
Click Add; the new parameter appears in the window above. To<br />
make changes to defined parameters, select the parameter, enter<br />
the changes, and click Edit.<br />
When you have defined the parameters for the selected sonde,<br />
you can save these settings by clicking Save in the Sonde<br />
Template File box. Name the *.snd file and save it to the desired<br />
location.<br />
Your saved *.snd files can then be retrieved from your directory<br />
and applied to a selected sonde at a later date, provided the<br />
sonde’s factory measurement setup and configuration is<br />
compatible with your template.<br />
To apply a saved template, click <strong>Manual</strong> Configuration to open<br />
the Sonde Data screen and click Open. Locate and select the<br />
desired template file. Click Apply to save the settings from this<br />
file to your selected sonde.<br />
The Alarms tab of the Site window supports <strong>Isco</strong> 2103 and 2105<br />
modem modules that have the factory-installed dialout alarm<br />
capability. When a user-defined alarm condition is met, the<br />
contacts are notified in sequence.<br />
Note that while you are connected to the module through the<br />
modem, it cannot report alarms.<br />
