Confirmation message on exit: When this option is enabled, a confirmation
message is displayed prior to exiting the CDS program.
enable use of ir Link ids: When enabled, the IDs programmed into the IR
Links are used in determining the download location of the results instead of the
actual serial port or IP address. To use this function, all IR Links must be of the
self-identifying type. This option is not typically used but is available in case the
functionality is needed.
Accept previously deleted records: When disabled, this option prevents
previously deleted records from being stored when re-transmitted to the Central
Data Station.
monitor refresh: The status reports in the Download and Interface Monitors will
be updated after the period of inactivity specified.
maximum diagnostic files: Diagnostic files contain information that can be
useful in troubleshooting cartridge problems. The default number is 100 and is
changed at the request of a Customer Support representative.
data viewers: Selecting save method selection on exit will cause each Data
Viewer to save whichever method was selected when the viewer is closed or
the exit button clicked. The next time the viewer or CDS software is opened,
the saved method will be displayed. When manually choose method before
viewer opening is selected, the user will be prompted to choose a method
before a data viewer is opened.
Automatic database backup: When enabled, the CDS database files will be
backed up to the selected location at the time of day entered. Should there be
a malfunction resulting in the corruption of the database, a Customer Support
representative may be able to retrieve the lost data from the backup copy. Each
backup replaces the previous one. Backup time depends on the size of the
database but usually does not take longer than 15 minutes.
