Unloading Lists from the
Data Collector Once you collect data you can unload it for storage in your Emonitor database
by connecting the Enpac Ex 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. Select Tools > Load/Unload. The Load/Unload dialog box appears.
2. Make sure the data collector and the computer are connected. If not, see
Connecting the Data Collector and Computer on page 66.
3. Select the desired list or lists. See Selecting the List(s) on page 71.
4. Click the Unload button in the Load/Unload dialog box. 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 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.
IMPORTANT
For more information on unloading lists and unload
options see the Emonitor online help.
WARNING
Do not connect the Enpac Ex to a PC via the RS-232
interface unless the area is known to be nonhazardous.
