F38 Sample task for inside temp every 15 minutes

Creating sample tasks

Sample tasks are used to collect certain information from the connected control computers that you want to monitor. This information can then be displayed in a graph, sent via email to a remote device or the data created can be used by third party applications to create additional business intelligence.

Instructions

This is an example of how to set up a sample of the inside temperature from a F38 computer every 15 minutes..

Click on add for data sources and select the climate control for the house concerned, in this case an F38H2.7

Click next which will open the operations window for that control, select the temperature screen top left. Once open click on the temperature field at the top. This will open a text/text Id edit window, enter an appropriate name for this field such as ‘Inside temperature house x’. Then click OK.
