68 Part D: Monitoring
The base station stores data about its own operation. It keeps count of some
items, records the maximum or minimum value of others, and also calculates
some averages. Averages are rolling averages over the last 24 hours. For
example, the base station stores the highest temperature that the PA has reached
and it adds up the total number of hours that the fan has been operating for.
You can view this information in the System Data form (Monitor > Data
Logging > System Data).
The Resettable and Permanent option buttons give you the choice of two
sets of data. These sets are rather like the trip meter and the odometer of a car.
Click Permanent to display the permanent data set. This data set is maintained
for the whole life of the base station and can only be reset by authorised service
centers, for example after repairs to a module.
Click Resettable to display the 'trip meter' set of data. With administrator
access, you can reset any or all of the data.
Reset buttons let you reset an individual parameter and the Reset All button
resets all system data values. These buttons are disabled when you view the
permanent set of values, unless you are logged on as a service center. If you reset
a counter, it starts counting again from zero. If you reset a maximum, average,
or minimum, it initially displays the current parameter value.
The Base station area (Monitor > Data Logging > System Data) displays the
following data.
The number of hours that the base station has been powered up and operating
in Run, Standby, or Download mode.
The percentage of the operating time that the base station has actually been
transmitting.
