To configure the ports to acquire data once per hour, select the acquisition frequency as shown.
We’ll
set the
Offset
for 1 minute for the WQM and ISUS (ports 1 and 2) so that the events do not occur
precisely on the start of the hour
–
this can cause problems on the midnight rollover. Note that we
could also just manually edit the schedule file later so that the first event does not occur precisely at
midnight. Set the Offset for the ECO-CDS (Port 3) to 5 minutes so that it turns on separately. Set the
Wait
for Ports 1 and 2 to 60 seconds to allow flushing and stabilization of the WQM as described; the
ISUS also takes 30-45 seconds to start up. Finally, set the duration to 60 seconds for Ports 1 and 2 and
20 seconds for Port 3.

To get the Modem to transmit data after each data event, we will set it to a 1/hour frequency as well,
but
Offset
by 7 minutes. This ensures that the data event is completed before the email attempt starts.
Leave the
Retry
field as 1 to allow one reattempt in case the email connection fails.
