Tools  Data Backup
The Data Backup
menu option will
allow the user to
backup all of the data
from the local
computer to another
location on the local
computer, or to a
location on a server.
The Backup Data Now
button will allow the
user to backup all of
the data. Clicking on
this button will bring
up a folder browsing
dialog box that will let the user browse to the specific location for the backup. Checking the
“Automatically Backup My Data After Every Download” box will let the user backup all of the data every
time data is downloaded from the screen. The search button, , will display a folder browsing dialog
box that will let the user browse to the specific location for the backup. The “After downloading data,
delete redundant uncompressed log data” box will delete any log data that has been compressed on the
local computer. Each day, the hourly log files on the VR screen and the data logger are compressed into
a compressed log file, which is stored in a separate location from the log files. However, the
uncompressed hourly log files on the computer are not deleted, since the new compressed log file will be
downloaded. Each hourly log file is around 600 KB, which will take up unnecessary space if they are not
deleted. Clicking on the OK button will close out the form and save any settings that were made on the
screen. Clicking on the Cancel button will just close out the form. When the backup is running, the user
will see a DOS-style dialog box displayed on the screen until the backup is finished.
Tools  Alarms Report
This menu option will display a log of all of the alarms on the data logger.
The alarms log will show
when all alarms were
activated and when they
were deactivated. Clicking
on the OK button will close
out the log form.
