  Merge multiple days   Choose this option to import data for 
several days,  and then designate the start and e nd dates representing 
the date range for which to import the data usi ng the Start Date and 
End Date  calendar controls.   
Note:  The calendar controls only allow the selection of dates for 
which data is available.  When  multiple days are selected, the system 
will average the data for each time period  for every day in the range.  
For example, to obtain the profile value for 2:00, the system will 
average the data recorded at 2: 00 for every day in the range. 
3. Click  on the Load Data button to import and display the data on a 
graph. 
  Profile Alarms  
To edit the profile data, click on  the Auto Fit button.  PrimeWorks  places a 
marker on the trace at each 15 -minute interval to allow modification of the 
value, if required.  
 
Profile graph 
If historical data is not available , click on the Reset button to set default 
values for each profile  value so that each  one can  be set independently.  
To change a profile value, simply click on the graph marker and drag it to a 
new location on the graph.  Use t he zoom & pan buttons to rescale the Y -axis 
for the data displayed. 
Select ing a profile value highlight s the value on the graph and displays the 
actual value in the Selected Value field .  For greater accuracy, enter another 
value in this field.   
Disable a value, when necessary, by selecting the  value and then c licking on 
the Disable Selected Profile checkbox.  When a value is disable d, XiLog+ 
will not generate alarms during th e corresponding 15-minute period.

Disabling a value on the graph 
Enable the alarms for this profile period again by deselecting the Disable 
Selected Profile checkbox.  
After e ntering the required profile , select the deadband and debounce delay  
(when necessary) .  The d eadband around the profile can represent either a 
single value or a percentage.   When it represents a percentage, the value 
entered for the deadband corresponds to the percentage of the profile value.  
The system will trigger a  high alarm if the channel re ading remains  above the 
profile value plus the deadband for the designated  debounce delay period. 
 
Selecting the deadband 
For example, when applying a flow profile value of 0.114 mgd with a 
deadband of 0.023 mgd , the logger will generate  a high alarm during this 
period for a reading above 0.137 mgd  and a low alarm for a reading below 
0.091 mgd.  If the deadband were designated as 10% instead , the logger would 
gener ate a high alarm above 0.126 mgd and a low alarm below 0.103 mgd. 
  Envelope Alarms 
In addition to the standard Profile alarms, XiLog+ can  generate alarms based 
on a more complex Envelope alarm .  Envelope alarms allow importing of 
profile data in the same way as standard profile alarms.   However, clicking on 
the AutoFit  button displays two rows of markers for editing (as required) on 
the graph instead of only a single row of markers .

Using the Autofit option for Envelope alarms  
This provides the flexibility to change the values used to generate the high and 
low alarms for  each period independently .  Select, change, move, and disable 
s pecific values using the same methods  applied for standard profiles .

Remote Data Reporting  
 
Remote Data Reporting window  
This window  includes the parameters for setting up remote delivery  of data 
fro m the XiLog+  to the designated host system (s ). 
Message Type  
This drop-down list contains the options for selecting the delivery method 
( SMS  or FTP using GPRS technology) through whi ch the XiLog+ will send 
data.   
Selecting SMS  sends reports to as many as 3 host numbers (when applicable).  
Selecting FTP transfers data via FTP (File Transfer Protocol) to an FTP 
Server.  This requires entering the details of the server.  
Use Automatic GSM Clock Correction 
Se lecti ng this checkbox automa tically adjusts the clock in the XiLog+ to the 
time in the GSM network.  Using this option for FTP messaging requires 
identifying the specific server address (URL) at which the time sync script 
(PHP file) is available and  designating the appropriate  port.  Enter this 
information in the Synchronization Script URL and  Port fields.

Ignore Daylight Savings  
Selecting this checkbox prevents the clock in the XiLog+ from compensating 
for daylight savings time. 
Host and Alarm Numbers  
When performing remote data reporting via  SMS, the XiLog+ transmits the 
data to all the host numbers  designated in the Contact Details  section.  A host 
number corresponds to a GSM modem connected to a computer.  T he 
Primayer Data Manager  utility running within Windows  serves as the 
conduit through which the data is transferred from the GSM modem to the 
PrimeWorks  software for viewing .  Up to three host numbers may be entered 
in PrimeWorks , allowing data delivery to up to three different offi ces or 
locations. 
U p to two additional alarm numbers also  may be entered.  Any SMS alarms 
generated  by the logger will be sent to these numbers.  The logger sends data 
only to the host number (s); however, it sends alarms to both the host and 
alarm numbers , when necessary . 
Note:  To use  the Primayer XMS system  for remote data delivery over 
the Internet, select the Us e XMS H ost checkbox and then select t he 
appropriate network from the corresponding drop- down list.  Choosing 
this option does not require enteri ng any additional numbers or contact 
information.  All distribution of data occurs  within the XMS system. 
FTP Server Address 
This field displays the address of the FTP server to  which the logger should 
transmit the data.   When using the Primayer XMS delivery system , enter 
www.waterlogger.co.uk.  When using another FTP server, enter the address 
without an FTP prefix . 
FTP Username 
This field displays the username for logging onto the FTP server.   Enter the 
appropri ate username for the user . 
Note:  When using the Primayer XMS system , defer to ADS Client 
Services to obtain the proper log in details.

FTP Password 
This field represents the password for logging onto the FTP server.  Enter the  
appropriate  password for th e user . 
Test Login Details  
Clicking on this button verifies the FTP server  address, username, and 
password by attempting to call and log into the server.  PrimeWorks  will 
provide notification of success or failure.  A failure may indicate the wrong 
server ad dress or login information. 
Combine Flow and Pressure  
When using a 2i or 3i version of the  XiLog+ and sending data via SMS, the 
flow and pressure data can be included in a  single SMS.  For this to occur, set 
up the system to log pressure at a 15 -minute int erval and flow at a 15 -minute 
interval.  
Designating these criteria  enables the Combine Flow and Pressure  checkbox 
for selection.  Selecting this checkbox sends a  single SMS (instead of two) 
representing both channels each  da y. 
Data Transmission  
 
Data Transmission sub- window  
This window  contains the parameters for setting up the process the XiLog+ 
uses for transmitting logged data.  
  Daily Data Transmission  
S electing the Transmit Daily  checkbox programs the logger to send the data 
once  every day at the same time.  When using this option, enter  the time to 
perform the daily transmission  in the Start field.

  Data Transmission at Other Intervals 
Programming the logger to perform data transmission u sing a different regime  
requires selecting or setting several pa rameters: 
1.  Select the interval at which to send the data from the Transmission 
Frequency  drop-down list. 
2.  Designate the period of time within which the logger should conduct 
data transmission in the S tart and E nd fields.  Choosing a frequency 
of 12 or 24 hou rs only requires designating the time at which to 
perform transmission during the selected day(s) in the Start  time field. 
3.  Select the checkboxes corresponding to the days on which to have the 
logger transmit data (based on the designated frequency and time  
range) from the options under A ctive Days. 
4.  Select the order in which to send the data from the Data Transmit 
Order drop- down list.  Choosing Newest  First ensures the logger 
sends the most current data first.   
For example, a logger could be pr ogrammed to transmit data every hour 
between 8 am and 6 pm Monday  through Friday.   
Strategically managing the transmission times  can maximize the life of the 
battery in the logger .  To manage the costs associated with SMS transmission, 
the XiLog+ refrains from sending an SMS until the transmission  will be 
somewhat  full, regardless of the selected frequency.   Each SMS can contain up 
to 96 values. 
For example, logging data at a 5 -min ute interval for an 8- hour period will 
produce enough data t o fill an SMS transmission.  Therefore, logging at this 
interval, the XiLog+ would transmit data via SMS approximately every 8 
hours, even if  the logger is preconfigured to transmit data on an hourly basis.  
This c ontrols the costs associated with SMS tran smission and prevents the 
duplication of data.  
Transmitting data via FTP does not involve these restrictions.   At each 
transmission  interval, the XiLog + will send  all new data by FTP.  
  Optional Receive Frequency Window  
This window contains the parameters for enabling t he modem to receive data. 
These settings are independent of the settings on the main data transmission 
window.
