Advanced Options - Email Setup

If you want to setup an email alert, you'll have to do your email setup in this screen first (if you haven't already) by going into Email Setup from the Edit menu.

This is a simple process where you enter your SMTP server (i.e. outgoing email server name), SMTP server port number and email address. This is important so PingPlotter knows how to send email messages. You can also specify whether you want PingPlotter to attach a savefile and/or also include the samples that triggered the alert in the email message that is sent. If your SMTP server requires it, starting with PingPlotter v2.51 there is also the added capability of specifying the username and password for the SMTP server.

For example, this is what your setup screen would look like if you were setting up your own email settings and wanted to include the alert samples and attach a Ping Plotter save file, use server foo.myserver.com for your SMTP server, authenticate with a username of "badstuff" and have a return email address of badstuff@pingplotter.com.
