Step 2: Setup Raven Options
Go to Toolbox>Raven
oControl Channel: If only one Raven System is installed, there will only
be one option. The letter before “Raven SCS” indicates the Com Port of
the system that you are configuring. The options selected on this page
correspond only to the single Raven System selected in this window. If
you are controlling two Raven Systems, each will have its own
configuration.
oArea Unit: This is the area units (SI - hectares, TU – 1000 sq. ft, US -
acres) that the Raven System is set to use. This setting must match the
setting on the Raven System or it will not work properly.
oValve: This is the valve that the Raven System uses. There are different
control requirements for Standard and Fast Close valves so make sure
this setting matches the Raven System.
