Section 5. Software Installation and Settings

The final termination must be to a CR10X-TD logger. The Proline will default to work with a logger named ‘lgr1’, but you can change this default if you want to name your logger something else. Change the logger name here and then refer to the RDE extra settings to make sure you change the name there so that the RDE will be able to find the logger with the appropriate data. Then zero out the Maximum Time On Line, leave the Packet Size and Extra Response Time at default. Set your Security Code options. They may be left at the default if desired.

Here the user will normally want to select a Collection Interval of 1 second, a Primary Retry Interval of 10 seconds, a Number of Primary Retries at 3, and a Secondary Retry Interval of 2 minutes. Longer times may be entered, but this may effect the RDE settings if the collection interval is longer than 1 or 2 minutes. If your Collection Interval is set higher to conserve power, you will want to hang up and redial, as the phone modem in the weather station is the major power consumer (140 ma active and .12 ma when inactive). For the station to hang up, the

“Keep Logger On Line” box must be deselected in the extra settings of the RDE mentioned later in this manual. For now, do not enable data collection by selecting the “ Scheduled Collection Enable” box until after you set up the extra settings in the RDE. For now, press the Apply button, close the Network Editor, and continue.
