 Appendix  A:  XiLog+  FastTrack Software 
The XiLog+ FastTrack  software primarily  is designed for expediting the 
process of programming the logger , viewing the current logger configuration, 
and testing the signal strength.   Although the PrimeWorks configuration 
process is much more comprehensive, FastTrack  represents an efficient and 
effective alternative for deploy ing and/or testing the logger quic kl y in the 
field.  
Note:   The XiLog+ FastTrack  software does not support XiLog+ 
models 2 or 9. 
To perform any or all of these tasks, first launch the FastTrack  software 
(provided it has been previously installed on the computer) by clicking on the 
icon on t he Windows  desktop or selecting All Programs > Primayer > 
XiLog+ FastTrack > XiLog+ FastTrack  from the Windows Start menu.  
Then, connect the XiLog+ to the computer using the yellow communication 
cable (ADS part number NXG -881- 001).  The FastTrack  software will 
display the current serial number and phone number  (when applicable).  It also 
will display other settings based on the last time the software was run.

Programming the Logger 
1. Edit the name of the logger in the Site Name  field, when necessary. 
2.  Edit the phone number (when applicable) in the Phone N umber field. 
3.  Designate the parameters under the Transmission  header in the 
following way:  
  Enter the time at which the logger should transmit the data to the 
host system in the Transmit Time  field.  The logger will send the 
data at this time every day.  
  Select the checkbox corresponding to Auto GSM Clock 
Correction  to synchronize  the logger clock  to the time in  the GSM 
network every 30 days. 
  Select the radio button ( SMS Transmission or FTP Transmission ) 
corresponding to the method of GSM communication that wi ll be in 
use.  For SMS , enter the number for the GSM modem connected to 
the host system to which the data will be sent in the Host Number  
field.  For FTP, enter the IP address for the server to which the data 
will be sent in the Server Address  field.  Enter the user name and 
the password necessary to access the server in the associated fields.  
Note:  When using the Primayer XMS  System for FTP data delivery, 
enter www.waterlogger.co.uk for the server address.  Whe n using 
another server, enter the IP address without the initial ftp:// . 
4. Designate the parameters under the Flow Channel 1  header in the 
following way:  
  Select the type of sensor connected to Channel 1 from the Sensor 
Profile  drop-down list. 
  Enter the amount of flow that must occur to generate a pulse in the 
FCAL  field.  Select the unit of measure for the value from the
