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.
