The top of the panel holds the controls for the report on the right: the report type, the site (only when you have more than one site), the dates and how to sort; a report that has no dates or is not about a site leaves those out. Below them are the Options: Print, Advanced/Basic mode, Printer settings, Create PDF, Export to Excel, Fetch from the Rue (when there is one), Backup and restore (in Advanced mode), Help, Settings, About and Exit. See The reports.
The To Do list is what the program does to every baton that is placed on the uploader. Normally it is:
After the download the baton's memory is cleared as well, so that it starts its next round empty (Clear memory, which is only shown and changed in Advanced mode, see Settings).
The item that is being done is highlighted.
If something went wrong with a baton, Download data turns red and reads Download data: problem. It stays that way until the next baton is found. What went wrong is listed in the By Download report, see When a download has a problem.
The clock of a baton is only set when Set date time is in this list.
Shows the number (ID), the version and the date and time of the baton on the uploader, as the baton reported them. It says n/a when there is no baton.
A line in red below it means the baton reported something about itself in this download that needs looking at: a low battery, a lost clock (it lost power), moisture or tampering, a high temperature or physical abuse, with the date and time. Have the baton seen to (a low battery: a new battery; a lost clock: check the battery and its contacts). The line stays until the next baton is placed, and the same shows in the download's problems (By Download) and in the Warnings from the baton column of the Baton report.
The small moving picture at the bottom shows what to do next:
The picture is drawn in the colours of the computer's theme, light or dark.
The coloured box in the bottom left corner: red the uploader is not found; purple and yellow in turn, flashing, waiting for a baton (this is normal, the program keeps asking the uploader whether a baton is on it); green the baton is being read. Next to it is a bar that shows the progress of a download, and then a message that says what is happening.
