Parameter settings
All user-accessible parameters of the Hydro Logger H40 can be read from the instrument
and stored in a parameter file with the extension *.PRM. The user can further modify this
parameter file, archive and write the changed parameters back to the instrument. The
MOST program is designed for working with the parametric file.
Parameter setting can be done from the PC directly via RS-232 interface cable (from
USB port via converter, which can be ordered together with the station), or it is possible
to set parameters remotely from the server via GSM/GPRS network.

MOST programme
MOST is a universal communication, setup and
evaluation program common to all FIEDLER instru-
ments.
A detailed description of the program is given in a
separate manual. The user who will use this pro-
gram only for working with parameters will be sat-
isfied with the description of individual parameter
windows described in detail in the rest of this user
manual.
You can get the latest version of the program on the manufacturer's website.
The MOST program is not included in the standard delivery of the telemetry set.

Basic rules for working with parameters
After physically
connecting the
PC to the H40 station (via cable or dial-up modem con-
nection), the
connection
must first be made. For this purpose, either the menu in the
"Communication" menu or the "COM" or "Telephone" icons are used. Both the connec-
tion and the connection are not necessary if you use the server service to set or change
parameters.
When you start working with parameters, it is advisable to first read the parameters from
the connected device. You can also load the parameters from the database on the server
(if you have the appropriate permissions), where they are automatically saved after each
change, or from a backup file on the PC.
After setting the parameters, the new parameters must be saved in the instrument. This
can be done from the "communication" menu or by using the icon. When using a server,
simply save the new parameter file to the server and the station will download the file at
the next data communication. You can start the data communication immediately by
sending an SMS message in the form: HESLO, dial0 to the station's phone number (this
requires that the station's H40 modem is switched on at the time of sending the SMS).
