Date and time of reading

The early (reliable) models of the Hydroprobe - the 503DR - did not record the date and time of each reading.
Date and time is recorded in later models - the 503TDR, Elite.

tab: Options

When a file is posted, the user will always be prompted to confirm the date and time, and the value of daily water use/et that will be posted to the ESTDWU row of the readings screen.

The date will default to 'today' - the date that the readings are posted (but see ID=0 below)
The time be the default post time (eg 08:00)
After each site is posted, the time can be incremended (eg 20:00 = 20 minutes between readings)
If a record with ID=0 is saved in the Hydroprobe (ID=0, and <skip> all readings), posting will pause to allow the date, time and dwu to be changed.
So if there is significant gap between reading tubes, record an ID=0 before starting the next set and the posting will pause to allow the date/time to be reset.
An ID=0 record can also (optionally) have the time, (and date) entered in Keydata 1 (and Keydata 2)
eg Key1 = 1445 will change the time to 2:45 pm
eg Key2 = 0203 will change the date to 2 March

Reformat CPN dates. The data uploaded from a 503TDR is in a different format from the 503DR, so the data is re-arranged after uploading. If the the upload is done using Hyperterminal or ???, the re-arranging can be done at 'post' time.

Creating groups

When readings are posted, each site can be added to 4 seperate Groups Group. The Groups can then be used to only show sites in a group
