5. Complete this dialog as follows:
a. Set the schedule of data download according to your needs.
The day and hour buttons are toggles that are “pressed” by default. In
other words, the default schedule is to get data every hour of every
day of the week.
If you plan to use manual download, unselect the Use schedule
checkbox.
b. Use the Every and Start at minute dropdowns according to the
schedule you want. By clicking the buttons and selecting the poll
interval in minutes, you can set up virtually any kind of schedule. The
“every five minutes” set in the figure means that data is collected
every five minutes at the start of the hour, so, virtually all the time.
c. To set an alarm for delayed data, select the Max. data delay checkbox,
then set the maximum number of hours data can be delayed before
sending an alarm. The software regularly checks the devices, so if you
set a delay of 3 and data does not exist to be acquired for more than
three hours, an alarm will be sent.
6. Click the Security tab to display the dialog shown in Figure 61.
