3 Solinst Telemetry Software
The Home Station computer requires the latest version of Solinst Telemetry Software. The STS/RRL Administrator Software provides an easy-to-use graphical interface to set up each RRL 5, specify communication intervals, and define sampling rates for attached dataloggers. Collected data is stored and viewed using the software; it can also be exported for use in other programs.
Note:
You must have administrator privileges on your PC to install Solinst Telemetry Software.
The STS/RRL Communication Agent is automatically installed with the STS/RRL Administrator Software, and is used to view communication activity. It must remain open (can be minimized) in order to receive realtime reports at the Home Station.
Note:
The STS/RRL Communication Agent should always remain open when the RRL 5 System is in operation. It may be closed, but the data can not be sent to the Home Station computer. The data will be stored in the RRL 5 Remote Station until the Agent is re-opened, and not until the next scheduled report .
3.1 System Requirements
The minimal hardware and software requirements for software installation and operation are:

The STS/RRL Communication Agent automatically installs with the STS/RRL Administrator.
Note:
Solinst Telemetry Software is also used to program STS Telemetry Systems. See separate User Guide for more information.
Note:
When installing the software, the STS Field Utility is also installed. This program is not required for setting up RRL Systems.
3.3 RRL 5 Software Communication
For initial setup and direct communication with Solinst Telemetry Software, the RRL 5 must be connected to the PC using a USB to USB-C cable (available from Solinst). During operation, the RRL Home Station will remain connected to the PC using this same connection.
To access the USB-C connection on the RRL 5:
- Unscrew the black cap from the top of the RRL 5.
- Plug the USB cable into the USB-C connection.
- Connect the USB cable to the PC.
- When done communicating with the PC Software, unplug the USB cable and replace the cap.
Note:
During operation, the RRL Home Station will remain connected to the PC using this same connection.
