Complete the Settings dialog in the following way:
1. Enter the path or browse to the directory to which you want to
save location information files (XMLs) and collected flow data
in the Data Path field.
2. Select the port on your computer through which you will
connect directly to the monitor from the Serial Port drop-
down list.
3. Select the port on your computer through which you will
perform Bluetooth communications from the drop-down list
(not applicable to TRITON+ monitors).
4. Select the units of measure (US or Metric) you want to use
throughout Qstart
XML
when entering values, saving data, and
displaying data from the Units drop-down list. The US units
report quantity in MGD, depth in inches, and velocity in feet
per second. The Metric units report quantity in liters per
second, depth in millimeters, and velocity in meters per
second.
5. Select the format in which you want to save data collected
from the monitor from the Data Format drop-down list. ADS
represents the ADS proprietary Bin format; CSV (comma-
separated value) represents a format generally compatible with
most spreadsheet applications, such as Microsoft
®
Excel
®
.
Select Both to collect both the ADS and CSV file formats.
6. Select the Always use monitor XML as preferred
configuration checkbox to ensure Qstart
XML
automatically
overwrites the local configuration with the XML stored in the
monitor memory when an Upload is performed. Choosing this
option also automatically updates the local serial number with
the serial in the monitor (when an inconsistency exists between
the monitor and computer) whenever communication is
established with a monitor.
7. Select the Use ADS Dates for CSV checkbox to store
collected data in CSV files using the ADS date format. When
this option is not selected, Qstart
XML
stores the CSV data in the
local Windows-configured regional date format.
