Displays the settings used to communicate with the instrument.<br />
When off-line, this box will also allow you to make changes to the<br />
settings. From this box you can modify:<br />
• Type - Direct, Modem, or Wireless. Select the Direct<br />
option when connecting to the instrument through an<br />
interrogator cable or short haul modem attached to your<br />
computer’s serial port. Select the Modem option to<br />
connect the instrument through a telephone modem.<br />
Select the Wireless option to connect to the instrument<br />
using a 2102 Wireless Communication module.<br />
• COM port - (Direct and Wireless) Select the appropriate<br />
COM port setting from the pull-down menu. Refer to<br />
your computer’s documentation for more information on<br />
COM ports.<br />
• Baud Rate - (Direct and Wireless) Select the baud rate<br />
from the pull-down menu. The 9600 baud rate setting<br />
will allow the fastest possible direct connections and data<br />
retrievals.<br />
• Modem - (Modem connection types only) Select an<br />
installed modem from the pull-down list. <strong>Flowlink</strong> will<br />
only list those modems installed in Windows. <strong>Flowlink</strong><br />
will use the selected Modem and its Windows settings<br />
(Com port, baud, etc.) to make the connection. If you need<br />
to change the modem settings, open the Modem Control<br />
Panel. (Windows Start>Settings>Control Panel.) A baud<br />
rate of 9600 is recommended for 4100/4200/6700<br />
instruments.<br />
• Select Default from the list to use the modem<br />
specified in Utilities>Options for the appropriate<br />
device type. This automatically selects the modem<br />
used for a specific site, from any computer.<br />
• Phone number - (Modems only) Enter the phone<br />
number assigned to the instrument. This number can<br />
include the following commands:<br />
T (tone dial)<br />
, (comma - pause)<br />
@ (wait for silence)<br />
W (wait for dial tone)<br />
TCP Address - (6712 w/ CDMA or GSM modem) Enter the<br />
correct static IP or public domain address.<br />
To save changes to the communications settings, click Apply.<br />
When connected, <strong>Flowlink</strong> continually polls the instrument for<br />
“real-time” readings. This tab of the Site window displays the<br />
real-time readings. The instrument’s configuration will<br />
determine which readings are available. A flow measurement<br />
instrument will display the current level in a number-entry box.<br />
Certain <strong>Isco</strong> instruments allow you to use this box to set<br />
(calibrate) the measured liquid level.<br />
