• Time of Last Data Retrieval- The date and time of the
most recent retrieval.
• Time trigger enabled - the date and time the trigger
equation became true.
• Trigger - This box displays the trigger equation when a
triggered slate partition is used.
Partition Operation Buttons - change the instrument’s
memory partitions.
• Create a new partition - adds a partition to the end of the
Partition List Box.
• Delete last partition - Removes the last partition in the
Partition List Box.
• Clear all partitions - clears all of the stored data held in
all partitions. The partitions remain set up for use.
• Delete all partitions - deletes all of the partitions and
stored data.
• Reset Slate - allows new readings to be saved in full
slate-type partitions. For triggered slate partitions, this
also resets the trigger. Retrieving data from the
instrument before resetting a slate is recommended.
• Setup trigger - opens the Equation Builder to enter the
parameters that activate a triggered slate partition.
The Calculated Flow button opens a window that allows flow
rates to be calculated after retrieving the data. This can conserve
memory and reduce the amount of data that must be transferred
between the instrument and Flowlink.
Notes:
• You cannot change a partition. Instead, you must delete
the partition (and all partitions “below” it) and create a
new one to replace it.
• Retrieve data from the instrument before deleting a
partition.
• Deleting a partition also clears the stored readings.
Memory Partitions

Partition Sizes
4100/4200/6700 store data in partitions. A partition is a section
of memory that you set aside for a particular reading type. When
setting aside a section of memory, you specify the reading type
(e.g. Level or Flow Rate), the reading interval, and the recording
mode.
For more information see Instrument Partition Sizes.
The size of a data partition can be calculated if the time span,
reading interval, and readings per block are known. The time
span and reading interval information is displayed on the Data
Storage Tab when the 4100/4200/6700 instrument is connected to
Flowlink.
The total memory in Isco instruments is divided into blocks of
memory. The 4100 Series Flow Loggers have 235,520 bytes of
