Name
: The name you use for the site. The sites will be displayed in alphanumeric order based on what
is entered here. To see units displayed in geographic order, make sure to assign names that,
when sorted, will display in order (for example: “TP01 – Ridgeview Rd”, “TP02 – Walnut Rd”,
“TP03 – Oak St”. These will be sorted by the initial TPXX designation, and will display in TP
order, regardless of the location name.)
Description
: This is a text box for entering comments, details, directions, etc. that are of use to the
user. It is not used for any other purpose by the system.
Latitude and Longitude
: Enter the coordinates in
decimal degrees
format per the sample format (do
not use degrees:minutes:seconds). Make sure that latitude has an N or S at the end (N for
Northern Hemisphere). Longitude must be entered with three digits ahead of the decimal point
(90.1234 would be entered 090.1234) and an E or W at the end (W for North America).
NOTE:
Latitude and Longitude must be properly entered before the satellite photo map of the site can
be displayed on the Site Page.

which this monitoring site is assigned.
CPDM Linkage, Hierarchy, Rectifier ID, and Mile Post:

the WatchdogCP system to your CPDM Pipeline Integrity Compliance software package. This
is typically set up with a conference call between Elecsys Technical Support and your IT
Department.

page!
