Loading and Unloading 71
Selecting the List(s)
Emonitor and the Enpac Ex support loading more than one list at a time, so
you may select more than one list to load. The size of the lists limits the
number of lists you can load at one time.
1. Select Tools > Load/Unload.
2. Make sure the data collector and computer are connected. If not, see
Connecting the Data Collector and Computer on page 66.
3. Select the list types to show in the list display by clicking Filter in the
Load/Unload dialog box. Lists appear in the order of the next
collection date. A red check mark may appear next to the list, indicating
that the list has been loaded to a data collector.
4. Select one or more lists from the list display by clicking on the list name.
Loading Selected Lists to the Data Collector
After connecting the Enpac Ex and computer, selecting the correct
communication settings, and selecting one or more lists, you are ready to load
the data collector.
WARNING
Do not connect the Enpac Ex to a PC via the RS-232
interface unless the area is known to be nonhazardous.
IMPORTANT
When loading large lists to the Enpac Ex, recommended
practice is to connect the power supply to the Enpac Ex.
This disables the automatic timeout feature (Instrument
Setup) which could cause potential loss of data during the
loading process.
TIP
It may take some time for Emonitor to build load files for
large lists. You can save time by using Quickload lists and
selecting Tools > Update Quickload Files to build the
load files when you are not using the computer. For more
information on Quickload lists, see Emonitor online help.
