Cooper-Atkins GL300 - Manual (Page 10)

The GL100 Download Log contains an entry for each time you downloaded a GL100 Tag to your
computer. To view more detail for a specific download, double click on the table entry, and the
“Comments and Actions” window will appear.
From this window you can view or
select corrective actions and
comments, or view the temperature
data graph.
To choose a corrective action from the
list, click on the Select Corrective
Action button. The “Corrective Actions
List” will open, and you may select one
entry from the list.
Then, if desired, enter a comment
about this data set by clicking inside
the “Enter comment” window and
typing any notes or comments about
the data in this download.
If you need to look at the graph of the data to complete the comments...
• Click on the View Data button. The graph window will open and allow you to examine the data
before making notes.
• Click on the Close button to return to the “Comments and Actions” window, then enter notes, etc.
When done, click on the OK button to save your notes.
To delete an entry in the “GL100 Download Log”, highlight the entry to delete.
From the main menu bar...
• Click on Edit,.
• Select Delete highlighted rows. A message box appears asking you to confirm the deletion.
• Click on the OK button to delete the selected entry,
or...cllick on the Cancel button to keep the entry.
Backing up Your File
Backing up your file is vital to ensuring your data is safe. The GL100 Manager provides a simple-to-
use backup utility that will copy your data to your hard drive or to a floppy disc or other storage media.
TIP: When deleting an entry in either table, if you want to delete more than one at a time,
hold down the “Ctrl” key on the keyboard while clicking on the entry. This will highlight
multiple rows, then use the Delete command from the Edit menu as described earlier.
IMPORTANT!
Neither comments nor corrective actions can be edited or added to once an entry has been
saved, so be certain you have written all you need to before clicking the OK button. If you add
a comment, but not a corrective action, the comment is permanent, but you can come back
later and enter a corrective action. The same is true if you enter a corrective action but not a
comment. When the “Comments and Actions” window closes, you will notice entries in the
“GL100 Download Log” table on the Main Program. If you have added a comment, the
“Comment” column for this entry will contain the word “Notes”, indicating a comment is present.
If you have added a corrective action, the “Corr Action” column will contain the word “Action”.

To create a backup, from the main menu bar, click on File, then click on Create Backup. The
“Create Backup Directory” window will open.
The default path is shown near the OK button. If you want to save the backup to a different path...
• Click on the Select Alternate Location button.
An “Open Backup” dialog window will appear, allowing you to select the path and disk drive to which
your backup will be saved. The path you create is shown near the bottom of the window.
When you have selected the backup path...
• Click on the OK button to create your data backup.
When complete, the message “Backup completed” will appear.
• Click on the OK button to continue. Your data now has been saved to the data path you selected.
Restore a Backup Data Set
To view the data saved in your backup file...
• Click on File from the main menu bar.
• Click on Open backup.
The “Open Backup” window will display the directory path.
• Navigate to the location of your backup data set
• Click on the OK button. A message will display “Backup Open”.
• Click on the OK button. The data now showing in the GL100 Manager program is your backup.
The main title bar will indicate the backup data path. The backup data set is normally read-only,
which means you are not permitted to make any changes to it. However, there is a check box on the
“Open Backup” window that, if checked when you open the backup data set, will permit you to make
changes or even add new downloads to the backup data set. The checkbox is marked Allow
Modification of Backup.
To close the backup data set from the main menu...
• Click on File, then click on Close Backup. The backup will be closed, and the regular data set
will be reopened.
IMPORTANT!
If you close the GL100 Manager program with a backup data set open, the next time you run
the GL100 Manager the regular data set will be opened, not the backup.
