SENDING PROGRAMMING TO CONTROLLER
As edits are made to primary programming screens that affect the satellite (Auto Program,
Special Data (SD), Zone Data (ZD), the Sentinel WMS program flags the edits as they are made,
then clears the flag when the changes are successfully sent to the satellite. A quick and efficient
way to verify the results of the data transmissions is by opening the
Unsent Changes
window.
