Source Data Folder: This field specifies the location of the Comma Seperated Value (CSV) files.
Import all data points...: If selected, all data in the CSV files are imported to the OPSDATAXML files, which are then available for import into Hach WIMS client.
Import from Data Source Files Option: This option will set a rule as to whether to import, for a given period of time, if data files are present or not. For example, if Import When Files Missing option is selected and the collector tries to import for 1/4/2010 to 1/5/2010, and there are 23 files (one for each hour), but for some reason one file is missing - the OPSDATAXML files will be created. If the option All Files Must be Present to Import is selected, then nothing will be created.
Test Connection: Ensures the Source Data Folder exists
Refresh Settings & Tags: This populates source tags in the Tag Picker tab to the top far right by reading an existing CSV file. If no CSV files are available, select the option Import all data points...
