Sutron Corporation X-Link Operations & Maintenance Manual, Rev 1.63 5/24/2016 pg. 68

Setup
Once it is powered on, how X-Link operates is controlled by its setup. The user
has the option of changing any part of the setup. The setup is stored in non-
volatile memory and will not be affected when the unit loses power.
The LinkComm application is the easiest and fastest way to program your
station. You can also change the setup by sending messages to X-Link. As an
alternative to LinkComm, you can use any terminal program to access all of X-
Link’s features.
Setup can be changed while X-Link is collecting data. However, if the station is in
the middle of making a measurement when the relevant setup is changed,
unexpected effects may occur. Even if unexpected effects occur, the next
measurement will be made correctly.
Changes to setup will not affect previously logged data.
Every time setup is changed, it is noted in the log with the entry setup changed.
Details of the setup change are not logged.
If a password is enabled, changes to setup cannot be made until the password is
entered.
The setup is broken into three sections:
measurement setup
telemetry setup
other setup
7.1.
Measurement Setup
How a measurement behaves is governed by its setup. Each of the 16
measurements has its own setup. Changing the setup of one measurement will
not affect other measurements (except for
Meta
measurements).
Use LinkComm’s measurement tab for an easy way to change the setup. When
using the command line, M1, M2, M3... M16 are used to designate the 16
measurements. The number is referred to as the measurement index. Type M1
to see the setup of Measurement 1 Type M1 WIZARD to set up the
measurement.
