Steps to starting a new Profile analysis project
• Establish the Database Organize and store your database
contents (i.e., groups, locations, and data entities) within a
database. The first step to starting the new project includes
using the Profile main screen to select an existing database to
use or to create a new database. An group is
automatically created for each database. Refer to Creating a
New Database, page 2-8, or Changing the Selected Database,
page 2-13, for step-by-step information.
• Create the Monitor Locations After creating the
database, manually create a monitor location for each of your
monitors in the group. The location level is
where the monitor specific information is stored—for
example, name, telephone number, and monitor serial number.
Refer to Creating and Configuring a New Location, page 2-
19, for more information. This step also includes selecting
and setting the parameters for devices to log and designating
the number of monitoring points. Refer to Selecting and
Editing Devices on page 2-25 or Creating a Second
Monitoring Point on page 2-24 for more information.
