The Site Info tab of the Site window window allows you to view
and change the site’s name, location, date/time, GPS information,
and other site-specific information.
Site Name - displays the site name stored within the
instrument. To change the site name, type in the new name and
click the Apply button. Site names can be up to 37 characters
long. Any character may be used in the site name except the
following: \ / : * & ? " < > |
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.
GPS Information Box - Enter the Altitude, Latitude, and
Longitude of the site location for system mapping and other
geographical locating purposes.
This tab within the Site window displays general information
about the instrument, input power, and Flowlink connection.
Displays “real-time” information while Flowlink is connected to
the instrument. When Flowlink is not communicating with the
instrument, this box displays the last available information
about the site. This box typically displays:
• Sensor Type - reports the sensor recognized by the
instrument.
• Flow Conversion - lists the flow conversion method.
• Software Revision - reports the level of software in the
instrument.
• Instrument ID - reports the ID from the connected
instrument. The ID is a unique nine-digit number
assigned at the factory that cannot be modified.
• Instrument Time - displays the time and date from the
connected instrument. This field is only active while
Flowlink is connected to the instrument.
The Power box displays known information about the
instrument’s power source. This information will aid you in
determining when battery-powered instruments require service.
This field is only active while Flowlink is connected to the
instrument. Many Isco instruments will report the type of power,
a voltage reading, and the percent remaining. Refer to the
instrument’s instruction manual for further explanation of this
feature.
