through the Station Search window.

Part 2 – Checking Unsent Changes

As edits are made on screens that affect the satellite database, the Sentinel

WMS program flags the edits as they are made, then clears the flag when the

changes are successfully sent to the satellite.

A quick and efficient way to verify the results of the data transmissions is by

opening the Unsent Changes window.

1. Choose the Unsent Changes window from the Programming directory.

Unsent changes are indicated by a check mark in the box under the

associated Program Tab.

2. Select program(s) to update by choosing the associated program group

button (

Check A selected in example above) or by clicking on individual

program check box(es).

3. Choose Receive to receive and save metadata for all checked boxes.

Note: The exception is Special Data (SD). If the firmware version is blank,

receiving Special Data will only receive and save the firmware version.

4. Choose Update Metadata to sweep through all checked programs and

resave data. All calculations and/or flags will be brought up to date.

Note: Use the Update Metadata function when updating to a new version

WMS software to help identify changed or new metadata fields.

5. Choose Send to update the satellite and generate a report in the Results

pane.

6. To open and review a Special Data (SD) and/or Zone Data (ZD), select the

associated check box, then choose Open.
