From this tab you can also stop or start a LevelSender immediately, or set a future start time by checking the box, setting the time, and clicking the start button.

After performing all of the tests, you can send a diagnostic report from the Home Station email, LevelSender Email, or LevelSender SMS to an email recipient of your choice. You can also save the information to your PC.

The report can be used for your own purposes, or sent to Solinst for further assistance.

Note:

Also for diagnostic purposes, a log file with any reported errors can be found on the Home Station PC. Typical default directory: <C:\Users\Name\Documents\LevelSender\log>
