Important
Due to limitations in the Microsoft
®
Dial-Up Networking, not all of the directory information for
Direct and Modem connection can be exported to the METER_DIRECTORY.DAT file for Daniel
Ultrasonic meters. Daniel MeterLink
™
exports the meter names, Comms Address, Interface, and
Telephone numbers. It is necessary to recheck the connection properties and verify the
communication parameters such as COM port, data bits, and parity are configured correctly
2.4 Collect As Found logs and reports
Use the Daniel MeterLink
™
Logs/Reports menu and collect and save the logs and reports
for a historical record of the meter a t several velocities within the operating range of the
meter to establish a baseline to be used for the trending of the meter diagnostics and save
the following logs and reports for the “As Found” settings (factory default).
• Maintenance log
• System log
• Save your meter’s configuration file
• Use the Tools|Edit/Compare Configuration menu to display the dialog. Enable the
