Report Rate and Report Duration are important if multiple RRL Stations will be reporting to one Home
Station. Setting up a schedule will avoid conflicts that may occur if more than one RRL Station contacts the
Home Station at the same time.
• Report Rate
is the rate at which stored data is sent from a Remote Station to the Home Station.
The Report Rate can be set from 1 minute to 99 hours.
Note:
Longer Report Rate intervals will conserve battery power at Remote Stations.
Note:
If your Reporting Rate is less than 3 hours, an external power source is recommended.
• Report Duration
is the maximum span of time that a Remote Station will be in contact with the
Home Station during the transfer of data. The minimum Report Duration is 1 minute.
Example:
If you have three Remote Stations reporting to one Home Station, all with a Report Rate of 15 minutes, you
will want to set a Report Duration of 5 minutes (or less) for each RRL Station. This ensures that each Remote
Station has enough time to send the data within the 15 minutes allotted on the Home Station.
If you have set a Network Start Time of 12:00 PM, your RRL Remote Stations will begin collecting data at
12:00 PM. At 12:15, the first Remote Station will report its data; the second will report data at 12:20 PM,
and the third at 12:25.
