Qstart™^XML is a simple, user-friendly software program that allows field crews to quickly set up and activate ADS ECHO™, RainAlert®III™, and TRITON+® monitors as well as collect and review data from these monitors. Qstart^XML was developed to support the new ADS TRITON+ firmware (version 6.40) as well as better support ADS’ new web-based software, PRISM™. When monitors are activated using Qstart^XML configuration files are created rather than Location Information Files (LIFs) for easy import into PRISM. In addition, Qstart^XML supports several new ADS TRITON+ features: a Time Zone device, an ability to deliver data at a faster interval during alarm conditions, an ability to deliver data to both PRISM and up to two FTP servers, and an ability to configure Flow Loss alarms.
