START THE SOFTWARE
Connect the TROLL 9500 to the PC or PDA. Launch Win-Situ 4 or

ment to specify a connection type, COM port, and baud rate in the
Connection Wizard.

VERIFY UNIT PREFERENCES
Before the Flow-Sense Wizard starts, you may wish to verify the cur-
rent unit selections. Length measurements in the Flow-Sense Wizard
default to metric (meters, centimeters), but you can enter and display
this data in English units (feet, inches) if you prefer. You may also wish
to verify the units for Conductivity, Dissolved Oxygen, ORP, pH, Tem-
perature, and Turbidity.
TIP: Flow units in the Flow-Sense Wizard will always be in
milliliters (mL). For best results, units should be consistent
between the desktop application and the PDA application.
To skip the settings verification, click Continue.
The Wizard will open the COM port and connect to the instrument.
If you have used the Wizard before, or launched the Wizard from an
EXISTING
TIP: The Wizard opens the COM port you used last (this is
stored in the Wizards.ini file in the Config subfolder in the
folder where Win-Situ is installed).
If several connections have been used in the past, the Wizard uses
the first “direct” connection it encounters in the tree.
If the Wizard is started without any connection information at all, it
will attempt to connect using COM 1 at a baud rate of 19200.
SECTION 20: LOW-FLOW MONITORING
CONFIGURE THE FLOW-SENSE WIZARD IN THE OFFICE
Text entry on a PDA in the field can be tedius. To simplify the task, we sug-
gest you run the Flow-Sense Wizard using Win-Situ 4 on a full-sized PC in
the office to prime the software with representative values. Then use Win-Situ
Sync to copy the “templates” created in this way to the PDA.
A Connect the TROLL 9500 you will use in the field to your desktop PC. The
device can be in air since the sampled data are not important.
B For each well you need to sample, execute the Wizard as described on
the following pages. The more information you can enter in advance, the
less you will have to tap in later with a stylus outdoors.
C Estimate any values you do not yet know (e.g., tubing length, pumping
rate, final drawdown).
D Let the stabilization phase run for at least one reading, then Accept.
E When the Wizard asks if you want to save the file, give each one a mean-
ingful name, for example:
“Well A template.flo”
“Well B template.flo”
F On your next ActiveSync connection, In-Situ’s synchronization utility Win-
Situ Sync will prompt you for Low Flow templates you wish to transfer to
the PDA
TIP: If Win-Situ Sync does not launch automatically, select it
from the In-Situ Inc. group in Programs on the Windows
Start Menu. Be sure the option Transfer data files from
Desktop to Field Unit is checked . Click to transfer files..
