SETPACKETNUM

This command will allow the user to view or set a specific packet number starting point. Most packets that

come out of the Bloodhound have a sequential packet number. This allows the software to monitor and keep

track of the packets in sequential order as well as look for missing packets. If changing the Bloodhound out

mid-job, due to system failure or other reason, it may be necessary to set the packet number so that duplicate

packet numbers are not sent. If the packet number is over 2,000,000,000, the number will be reset to zero on

the next job number change.

SETPACKETNUM[ENTER]

Packet number is: 187889

SETPACKETNUM 100[ENTER]

Packet number is: 100

HOBBS

This is an internal timer that keeps track of the number of minutes that the unit has been running since first

power up and since it was last serviced. HOBBS USE shows the user how many hours since it was last

serviced, HOBBS shows total number of hours in operation since construction.

SETJOBNUM

The job number is very important to the Bloodhound system in 2 ways. The job number tells the Bloodhound

what job number to place into the data packet. Generated packets are sent to the charting software and the

remote server system. This tells the server system into what file to place the data. If the job number changes,

the remote server software will start a new chart and file. Also when changing the job number, the Bloodhound

knows to start a new BH_DATA.IBD file on the SD storage card and if inserted, the USB memory stick.

Usually the job number is the last to be changed on a rig up of the Bloodhound system at a well site.

To view the job number just enter the command

SETJOBNUM[ENTER]

JOB NUMBER IS: 106

To set the job number to a value, enter the value

SETJOBNUM 1223[ENTER]

JOB NUMBER IS: 1223

And the job number will be set.

SHUTDOWN

Entering this command will make the Bloodhound enter a shutdown mode. What this does is shut down the

pumps. This command is used when the Bloodhound is not being used in the field. It allows the Bloodhound

to operate normally except without using the pumps. This can make the pumps last longer if the unit is not

going to be operational for a long period of time or if the sample line is occluded.

To exit the shutdown mode, just enter the command again.
