Figure 3-2 Flowlink Site Info Screen
Complete the following steps:
1. Click the Synchronize Instrument’s Time to Com-
puter’s button to synchronize the Field Wizard’s time to
that of your PC. (If you are using multiple PCs, select just
one PC to synchronize with.) You will be notified that this
operation will set the time of the Field Wizard to match
that of the PC. Click OK.
2. The Field Wizard is shipped with default site and module
names. Use the Site Name and Module Name fields if
you want to provide more descriptive names. Select Apply
(F9) to write that information to the instrument.
3. Click Retrieve Data (F8) to retrieve the data from the
Field Wizard. For synchronization purposes, this should be
done even if this is the first time you are connecting the
Field Wizard to the PC. The process transfers a file con-
taining site interrogation times from Flowlink to the Field
Wizard. With this information, the Field Wizard will know
when data was last retrieved from your site(s). When
brought to a site, the Field Wizard will retrieve only the
necessary data.
The process will take some time. A gauge will be displayed
so you can monitor the progress. If needed, click Cancel to
cancel the data transfer. The data will be retained in the
Field Wizard.
Data that has been retrieved by the PC will remain in the
Field Wizard until it is connected to a site and begins col-
lecting new data. This allows you to copy data to multiple
PCs.
4. Select Disconnect to end your PC session and disconnect
the Field Wizard.
