8.2.1.3 Test the connection
Use the Connect screen to test the connection. Click on the appropriate station and click
Connect to initiate a call to the data logger. The data logger must have 12 V power.
TIP:
The connection time is subject to many external factors. It is often less than 30 seconds but
could be up to 15 minutes. Be patient.
If the connection is successful, the connectors at the bottom of the screen will come together and
clock information from the data logger will be displayed in the Station Date/Time field. If the
connection fails, a Communications Failure message will be displayed.
