specific records or activate "All" for downloading. If "Transfer all Standars" is checked, all

The standard measurement data is transferred to the sheet "Standard Transfer" and all
sample data is transferred to the sheet "Sample Transfer". The graphs are populated
automatically when only one dataset is transferred, or the “Selection” dialog opens.
