Data Synchronization
The controller stores information about your system in the form of logs. These logs include information gathered from the
controller and sensors. Logs are stored in the controller for up to six months. After six months the older logs are replaced by the
newer logs.
Each time you connect to a controller using Irrigation Manager, the controller's data is downloaded to your computer. This is
known as data synchronization. Even though the controller is limited in the amount of data it can store, your computer is not. It
will store all synchronized data that was downloaded from the controller and will never overwrite any data. It is important to
connect to your controller frequently to keep your computer up to date.
Changes made from the controller's panel
When you modify the settings on the controller from its control panel, the changes are recorded in its memory and will
synchronize with the software the next time you connect. Irrigation Manager will show the new changes you made to the
controller.
Changes made in the software while connected
When you modify the settings on the controller from Irrigation Manager, while connected to the controller, the changes are
instantly saved to and reflected in the controller. It is as if you are making the adjustments at the controller.
Changes made in the software while off line
While viewing the controller in Offline mode in Irrigation Manager, you can modify its configurations. These changes will be
updated in the controller the next time you connect.
