  • Page 7 If using the standalone installation the log application should be started up first followed by the view and in all situations the log application must be running for the system to work. 3.2 THE ELCOMONITOR LOG APPLICATION Begin by installing the Log Application onto your PC and following the on screen wizard. Once this is complete, open the application.
  • Page 8 will be displayed after the search has finished and these can be added to the log by checking the boxes and pressing “Finish” on the wizard. Manually Adding Climate Stations If the search wizard is unable to locate some Climate Stations these may be added manually using the button.
  • Page 9 right corner of the automatically generated report. Pressing the browse button allows you to locate any compatible .jpg or .bmp image file in windows explorer. Renaming a Station Stations can be renamed into something more meaningful. Select the “Stations” tab, highlight the relevant station and click the button.
  • Page 10 When started for the first time, the software will request the address of the computer running the Elcomonitor Log application. If this is the same as the computer on which you are installing the view application on then leave this as “localhost”. The program will now start and you will be presented with a dialog box requesting what level of access is required for a choice of either “Administrator”...

  • Page 12 Climate Station Setup (Administrators Only) The view application allows you to set each of the Climate Stations up remotely. Limits on can be defined here that control the signal light and alarm at each Climate Station. Begin by selecting a Climate Station and then navigate to “Setup”...
  • Page 14 Then browse to the file location and complete the wizard. All settings will be applied the next time the server makes contact with the Climate Station. If the option to edit the station setup is selected instead, the wizard will continue and request which parameters you wish to monitor (these are the parameters that appear in the main Elcomonitor View window) check or uncheck the desired boxes.
  • Page 16 You can change the range of each colour band by using the mouse to drag the boundary between the two colours. The absolute range of each zone is shown below the coloured bar. Different combinations of colours may be used. For example you may wish to have a red band at very low temperatures, followed by a green band and then another red for when the temperature was too high.
  • Page 17 Proceeding through the wizard by pressing next will go through all of the different measurement types and allow the user to set tolerances for each of the parameters in this way. After all of the parameters have had their tolerances set the parameter that will be displayed on the signal tower and activate the audible alarm must be selected.
  • Page 18 Further options allow control over the time the audible alarm sounds for and how often the measurements are refreshed in the panel. Hysteresis Hysteresis prevents the signal lamp from changing colour on small changes close to the zone boundary. This prevents the signal lamp from flickering between different colours when the measurement fluctuates close to the zone boundary.
  • Page 19 Hysteresis prevents this by forcing the software to wait until the measurement crosses a certain threshold before the light colour is changed preventing frequent zone changes and confusion. Saving to Station The final page of the wizard allows the user to save the configuration to the station or save the configuration to the station and a file.
