Instrument Manager view: Schedule Overview

The Instrument Manager module provides the Schedule Overview module-view. This view shows all active schedules and their conflicts. For a schedule of a Data Collector to appear in this view, it has to be enabled.

Tip - To view the properties of any module, activate the module in the list and select its shortcut menu command Properties.

The legend: Total Stations selection field

The legend shows the color assignment to total stations and lets you select total stations for display. Total stations are identified by their serial numbers. By default, the display of all total stations is selected.

Use the check boxes to enable or disable the display of the scheduled times for all Data Collectors which are connected to a specific total station.

The diagram

The diagram displays for each enabled Data Collector module with an active scheduler the scheduled measurement times. The scale of the time axis depends on the selected Chart Data Properties > Time span property value.

Data Collector modules representing the same physical total station are identified by the same color.
