Note

If the display is difficult to read, adjust its contrast by holding down the Plus/Minus (+/-) key while pressing the Down or Up Arrow key until you obtain the desired lighting level.

3.3Flowlink Connection Before taking the Field Wizard to a site to collect data for the first time, you need to configure it to your Flowlink software. This will let you synchronize the Field Wizard’s date and time with that on your personal computer (PC) and assign a module name to the Field Wizard for identification. On subsequent connections, Flowlink will recognize the Field Wizard from information stored in its database.

The Field Wizard operates as an extension to Flowlink’s Master Data Base on your PC, which synchronizes the measurement and collection of data for all sites under its management. This cen- tralized control insures that all measured data is collected from a site, and that measurements are taken when expected.

Note

If you will be using the Field Wizard to transfer data to multiple computers, you should designate one computer as the master and connect the Field Wizard to it first. This will avoid problems with synchronizing the date and time.

3.3.1Connecting To a PC To connect the Field Wizard to a PC, you will need Isco’s commu- nication cable P/N 60 - 2004 - 046 and AC Adapter P/N 60-2004-057.

One end of the AC adapter plugs into a grounded electrical outlet, and the other end connects to the communications con- nector on the underside of the Field Wizard.

One end of the communication cable connects to a serial port on your PC, and the other end connects to the communication con- nector on the right hand side of the Field Wizard.

Refer to Section 2.3 for more detailed instructions and diagrams on how to make these connections.

As a default Flowlink setting, the Quick Connect dialog box opens when you start Flowlink. (If it is not open, click the Quick Connect icon or select File, Quick Connect.)

Click the large Field Wizard button to connect. Flowlink will read the 2101 system information and try to match it with an existing site in the open database. It will then display the Site Info screen (Figure 3-2).
