APPENDIX D
iLink Auto Unload Mode
In addition to its normal mode of operation, iLink can also run in an ‘Auto Unload Mode’. When set to run
in this mode, iLink will automatically connect to a given profile and unload the associated device according
to a specified schedule. Each unload is carried out according to the Unload Settings configured for the
defined profile.
This can be useful for a ‘one-off’ logger that is not connected to a base station such as HydroTel 2000 but
which needs to be unloaded on a regular basis. The procedure for starting iLink in Auto Unload Mode is
described below:
1. Ensure that iLink is not already running.
2. Using a text editor, such as NotePad, open the ‘iLink.ini’ file in the root iLink folder. By default this will
be: c:\program files\iquest (nz) ltd\iLink
3. Insert the following two lines at the end of the file (exactly as shown here):
[User Specials]
Script=1
4. Now launch iLink in the usual manner.
In the status bar at the bottom of the iLink window you will see confirmation that iLink is now running in
Auto Unload Mode.
