RSU Setup from a Site List

Using a Site List to setup a RSU is the same as the normal setup process, except the setup parameters are derived from the Site List, rather than manual entry.

  5. The standard setup dialog box is now displayed with the setup parameters from the selected site. Edit any parameters if necessary.

    The Lock Site List option in MCSetLite's Preferences will prevent editing setup parameters at this point. This feature is to discourage users from changing settings away from those specified in the Site List.

RSU Unload from a Site List

When there is a Site List open in MCSetup, the Unload procedure is slightly different. MCSetup will retrieve the RSU's header, and attempt to match it to an item in the currently active Site List. This is to support MCSetup's Data Collection Checklist feature.

To unload data for a site that does not exist in a Site List, firstly close all open Site Lists, and then proceed with the Unload.

[Procedure]To unload data using a Site List
  1. Open the Site List that contains the site that the connected RSU was setup with.

  2. Click the Unload button on MCSetup's main toolbar.

  3. MCSetup will locate the site in the Site List and start the Unload procedure.
