12.2 Save Snapshot

Save Snapshot is a one step download of a pre-determined data set

from the transmitter. The data set is comprised of the following.

(Download of Snapshot takes about 6 – 7 minutes.)

• Raw Data

Raw Data is as the name implies, a set of unprocessed data from the

sensor head.

A raw data file (5 minutes duration) is downloaded during Snapshot.

• Data History

Data History is a compilation of flow system information that is saved

within the transmitter. The data history file is a text file that contains

the data output from the transmitter as well as some system

information that can be used for diagnostic purposes. The duration

(number of days) of data stored in data history is primarily determined

by the system data update rate. Under default setup (2 second

update rate) approximately 24 days of data will be stored.

A data history file of the last 24 hours is downloaded during Snapshot.

• System Info

System Info (information) is a list of system hardware and software

revisions and versions, system diagnostic information, and system

setup information.

• Configuration

Configuration is a full list of the transmitter setup parameters. The

file is encrypted for security purposes.

• Event Log

Event Log

lists a history of the abnormal operations within the system

that may affect its performance. Up to 23 events are stored in this file;

after that the oldest event will be overwritten with a new event.

12.3 Load Configuration

Load Configuration is one-step command used to upload a

configuration file to the transmitter from the

SONARstick

In the Load Configuration mode the transmitter will only load files with

the serial number of the transmitter followed by ’_LoadConfig.ini’ in the

file name. For example, a configuration file for transmitter serial

number 234 must be named ‘234_LoadConfig.ini’ for it to be uploaded

by this utility.
