Loading Lists to the Data
Collector
After you connect the data collector to the computer, you can load one or more
lists to the data collector. This section discusses preparing and initializing the data
collector, loading inspection codes, selecting the list, and other load options.
Prepare the Data Collector before Loading
The Emonitor software can load data to either the data collector internal
memory, or to an SD storage card. You control the destination for the data with
the Route Mem parameter in the Setup screen in the data collector.
Follow these steps to prepare the data collector.
1.
Make sure you have correctly connected the data collector to the computer.
2.
Install a storage card, if needed.
3.
Apply power to the data collector.
4.
From the Main Menu screen, select Setup Utility and press Enter.

TIP
The communication message remains on the screen until you
close the Load/Unload dialog box in the Emonitor software.
IMPORTANT
When loading large lists to the Dynamix 2500 data collector,
recommended practice is to connect the power supply to the data
collector. This disables the automatic timeout feature (Instrument
Setup), which could cause potential loss of data during the loading
process.
