Note: If your PC is using Daylight Savings Time, take care NOT to disrupt the time setting
currently employed by the CR1000. If the station clock is adjusted to match Daylight Savings
Time on your PC, gaps or overwrites in the data file will occur. If you need to adjust the station
clock, make sure you set your PC clock to Standard Time.
Figure 9.1: Disabling scheduled data collection.
Once sufficient time has elapsed to ensure that data has been collected from the SAAs (based upon the
reading frequency), data can be manually collected by clicking on ‘Collect Now’ in the Connect utility. A
summary of the data collected is summarized as illustrated in Figure 9.2.
Note: Data is collected based upon scheduled interval, not upon elapsed time since the program
was started. If the program is written so that data is collected every 30 minutes and it is 29
minutes after the hour, data will be collected in 1 minute. If it is 31 minutes after the hour, data
will be collected in 29 minutes.
