Pinnacle Technology ID/TRH Manager
----------------------------------


Introduction:
	This program will allow you to monitor all your ID/TRH units without
	visiting each web page individually.  It includes alarms, and the
	ability to interface with CADgraphics.  This file contains a description
	of the IDTRH Manager program; for instructions for first-use setup please
	read the SETUP.txt file.  Please send any questions, comments, bugs, or
	ideas for improvements to sgabbert@pinnalcet.com.

The Main window:
	The main window is the first one that appears when starting the program,
	and provides most of the functions of the ID/TRH Manager.  If the main
	window is minimized then IDTRH Manager will scroll through the list of
	dataloggers, displaying the temperature, humidity and contact status
	each is reporting in the taskbar at three second intervals.  Components
	of the main window include:

Datalogger display:  
	This is the large grid in the middle of the window, and shows a list
	of all dataloggers on your network.  Initially, it contains only one
	entry, Pinnacle Technology's public datalogger.  The name, IP address
	or URL, current temperature, current RH, and contact sensor status are
	all shown.  If you have more dataloggers on your network than can be
	shown in the window, a scrollbar will appear on the right to allow
	you to view all of them.  If an alarm condition exists, then the box
	with the alarm will be highlighted.  Temperature too high, RH too
	high, and contact alarms are highlighted in red, while temperature
	too low and RH too low are highlighted in green.  
	Double clicking on an IDTRH will do one of two things.  If the IDTRH
	does not have any active alarms, then it will open the Alarm Setup
	window for that datalogger.  If the datalogger has an active alarm,
	the it will present a choice of either simply clearing an alarm or
	going to the Alarm Setup window.  Cleared alarms will return as soon
	as the displayed information is refreshed, either manually or
	automatically.

Alarm Setup:
	Use this window to set up the alarms for the selected datalogger.
Five alarms are available: Over and under temperature, over and under RH
and a contact alarm.  To set up a temperature or humidity alarm, check the
"Enable" box next to the desired alarm, and enter the alarm value into the
appropriate box.  If the box is left blank when you hit the "OK" button,
the alarm will be disabled.  For contact alarms, there are two settings;
a normally open closed switch (i.e., a water sensor), and a normally
closed open switch (i.e., a door sensor).  For a closed switch, check
the "Contact ON causes alarm" button, and for an open switch, check the
"Contact OFF causes alarm" button.  Click "OK" to save changes and exit,
or "Cancel" to exit without saving.  It is important to note that the
alarms are not in any way connected to the alarms set up on the datalogger
itself;  those alarms will not be modified or even noticed by this program.
Also note that the values for tha alarms are independent of whether the
program is displaying temperature in Fahrenheit or Celcius; if the alarm
value exceeds the displayed value, an alarm will be generated.  If you
are using CADgraphics, the alarms will be sent after the delay value in
Setup is exceeded.

Add Device:
	Press this button to add a new datalogger to the list.  A window
	will appear with entries for the name and URL or IP address.  To
	add a new device, first fill in the Name field.  It can be anything
	you like, up to 50 characters, but only the first 12 or so will show
	up in the main window.  Next, select how you want to identify the
	device, by IP address or by URL.  Identifying dataloggers by IP address
	is the most common method, but URL identification is possible.  Last,
	type in either the URL or IP address in the provided fields, and hit
	the Add Device button.  The window will close, and the new device will
	be added to the main list.  If you have made any errors, simply delete
	the device using the Delete Device button and recreate it.

Delete Device:
	Clicking on a datalogger in the list and then pressing this button will
	delete the selected datalogger from the list.  A dialog box will appear
	asking you if you are sure you want to delete it; reply yes to delete
	or no to cancel.  If you click anywhere else between clicking the datalogger
	and the delete button, then the item will not be deleted, and you will
	need to select it again.  Deleted items cannot be recovered, and must be
	recreated using the Add Device button.  You must always have at least one
	device in the list, so it is not possible to delete the last device.

Refresh:
	Clicking on this button will manually refresh the display, getting new
	values from each datalogger in the list.  If a datalogger cannot be
	contacted, then the contents of the temperature, humidity and sensor
	fields will be blank.  This occasionally happens when the program loads,
	and can be fixed by simply pressing the refresh button and getting the
	values again.  If a datalogger remains blank for a long period, there
	may be either a break in the network or a hardware malfunction; contact
	your systems administrator for assistance.

Note: Some functions are specifically designed to interface with CadGraphics
(www.cadgraphics.org).  The IDTRH Manager does not require CadGraphics to
operate.

Setup:
	Clicking on Setup will allow you to set up some of the parameters the
	program uses to communicate.  You can change the local port used for
	communication, and the timeout, in seconds,  before the program decides
	a datalogger is not going to answer a request for data and moves on to
	the next unit.  Also, you can configure the program to display the
	temperature in either Fahrenheit or Celsius.  If you use CADgraphics,
	then the necessary setup is also available here.  Both the location of
	CADgraphics and the channel to use are necessary to communicate with
	CADgraphics.  If no location is set, it will default to the location
	that IDTRH Manager is installed.  A delay before alarms are sent to
	CADgraphics is also configurable, the default setting is one minute.
	In order for an alarm to be sent to CADgraphics, then the alarm condition
	must exist for at least the number of minutes in the delay setup.
	If you do not use CADgraphics, this setup can be ignored.

Exiting the Program:
	To close the IDTRH Manager, simply click the X in the upper right-hand
	corner of the main window.  All devices and configuration settings will
	be automatically saved.
