System Guide

The ET Tab

The settings on ET (evapotranspiration) tab are provided for programs that

utilize ET data to determine run time.

1. Enter the Maximum allowed program ET total value and the Default

daily ET value in the text fields provided.

The Global Tab

When a satellite is initially created, it defaults to the settings in the Software

Setup window. Those settings are shown as the choices under Precipitation

Units, Flow Units and Language. To choose units and language specific to the

satellite, select the options provided on this page.

Note: Selecting Units and Language options at the satellite level can be

problematic, and is not recommended. If the satellite does not enable global

settings to be specified, the settings on this page will be grayed out.

The Forwarding Tab

The Forwarding tab options enable the satellite to transfer stored data via

radio communication to other satellites in the network. (Refer to page 9 for

Target Device Comm Parameter setup procedures.)

Note: To enable satellite-to-satellite forwarding communications requires that

all satellites are utilzing firmware version 1.40. Upgrading to 1.40 firmware

requires changing to special centeral interface firmware that talks only to

verion 1.40 satellites

1. To populate the List Units To Forward To data fields, choose the Receive

Forwarding List button to choose from a list of available satellites.

Note: The satellite can forward data to a maximum of 10 satellites. If less

than 10 satellites are listed, the designation “FFF” must be entered in all

remaining open text fields.

2. Choose the Send Forwarding List button to upload the list.
