dialog boxes:
DDiissccoonnnneecctt oonnee ssiittee ttoo lloogg aannootthheerr ssiittee..
If you use
the same modem to log multiple sites, Lynx will no
longer alert you when dropping the connection at
one site to log a different one.

Check the box if you do not want Lynx to notify you when it is automatically
disconnecting from one site to connect to another (for logging).

It is strongly recommended that you change the default (blank) password on
the Administrator account. If you do not want Lynx to warn you when you log in with a blank administrator
password, check the box.
Data
The settings in the
DDaattaa
tab to tell Lynx when to
erase data from your site logs and how often to
compact the database. These functions save disk
space and may improve performance. Check the box
beside the type of data you would like purged
(Telemetry, Alarms, or Events) and for each box you
check, specify how long the database should save the
data.
Once data is purged, it cannot be restored, and it
cannot be used in reports. If you would like to export
data to a comma separated value (.csv) file before it
is removed, click the
EExxppoorrtt bbeeffoorree ppuurrggiinngg
box. The
default destination of these files is C:\Program
Files\Burk Technology\Lynx 4\Exported Data. If you change the default destination directory when you install
Lynx, the location of the Exported Data subdirectory will be different.
After setting up your purge parameters, choose the interval at which Lynx should
ccoommppaacctt
the database (to save
disk space). Lynx compacts data at the specified interval on startup only, so if you run Lynx continuously, you
may wish to periodically restart the application.
