User’s Manual

7.1
WiFi™
Reporting
Note:
When using the instrument with WiFi™ connectivity, do not start a recording manually, or via
the timer. The instrument will be completely controlled by the server, including starting the recording,
erasing memory if required, and resetting the time.
When using the
WiFi™
feature, the instrument will try to connect to a known server at regular intervals,
or immediately in case of alarm.
Whenever it connects the instrument will talk to a special
Instrument_Listener
application running on
the server. That application will do the following:
•
If the instrument is currently recording:
o
Upload the latest recorded data from the instrument and updates a growing file with
that data (create the file if it was not already created).
•
If the instrument is not currently recording (for instance if the recording was stopped earlier
because the memory was full):
o
Upload the latest recorded data from the instrument (if any) and update the recording
file.
o
Adjust the instrument time (does not adjust the time zone of the instrument, just
precisely readjust the Universal-Time-Code running in the instrument).
o
Delete all data in the instrument’s memory (all that data has already been safely
stored in the recording file on the server).
o
Start a new recording, or Start the
AutoRec
mode.
7.2
Email Alarms
In addition to trying to connect to the server at regular intervals, the instrument will try to connect
immediately to the email server in case of alarm. The alarm function does not require the use of a
server or
Listener
application. The instrument will connect directly to an email server, such as a
gmail
account.
In order to be able to send an alarm email, the instrument must have the following setup:
•
A
WiFi™
Router or
Access Point
must be in the instrument’s vicinity, and the instrument must
have been configured with that router’s connection parameters. That is part of the
WiFi
Setup
of the instrument.
•
The instrument must have been configured with an outgoing email account and connection
parameters. That is part of the
Email Setup
of the instrument.
Two alarms can be enabled:
•
A signal or level past a preset threshold. The threshold works exactly the same as the
threshold used for
AutoRec,
but a different threshold can be specified. When the same
threshold is used, the instrument will both:
o
Start a recording of the raw signal.
