Wakeup/Sampling Interval
The Wakeup/Sampling Interval specifies how often to wake up, take sample readings, and compare
them to the stored alarm limits.
It can be programmed from one hour to 24 hours. This is done from the WatchdogCP Web Monitor
website. If you wish to change the Wakeup/Sampling Interval after the unit has been installed, you can
do so from the website without having to revisit the remote site.
NOTE: The factory default Wakeup/Sampling Interval is 4 hours.
