Loading and Unloading Chapter 3
Unloading Lists from the
Data Collector Once you collect data you can unload it for storage in your Emonitor database by
connecting the Enpac and computer and transferring the information. You can
unload unscheduled measurements to your Emonitor database at the same time
as list data. You can automatically print reports after unloading data from the data
collector.
Unloading Lists in Emonitor
1. Choose Tools > Load/Unload. The Load/Unload dialog appears.
2. Make sure the data collector and the computer are connected.
If not, see Connecting the Data Collector and Computer (RS-232) on
page 102 .
3. Select the desired list or lists.
See Selecting the List(s) on page 111 .
4. Click the Unload button in the Load/Unload dialog. The following series
of events occurs.
–
Emonitor unloads the file from the data collector and shows a progress
bar, telling you that it is unloading the file and updating the database.
– When the unload is complete, the progress bar closes in Emonitor.
5. Click Close.
IMPORTANT When loading large lists to the Enpac 2500, recommended practice is to
connect the power supply to the Enpac 2500. This disables the automatic
timeout feature (Instrument Setup) which could cause potential loss of
data during the loading process.
IMPORTANT For more information on unloading lists and unload options see the
Emonitor online help.
