CHAPTER 7 • DATA COLLECTION 77
Download Interval Data
Under the Download Interval Data section, click the Browse button. This will open a di-
rectory box where you can either create a new data download file log or locate an existing
download file log. Once you’ve selected an existing file or entered the name of the new file,
select Open.
Next, select the type of download to perform. The following types of download sessions are
available:
˽ Normal – Retrieves all interval data from the beginning of the study to the most recent
record. The number of lanes per record is determined by the number of lanes currently
configured on the sensor.
˽ Incremental – Retrieves only the interval data that was recorded after the indicated
date and time. The number of lanes per record is determined by the number of lanes
currently configured on the sensor.
˽ Error Recovery – Retrieves the entire contents of the flash memory buffer. The flash
memory buffer contains 2976 records and each record has data for eight lanes. The
contents of SRAM are not retrieved in this mode. You can perform this type of down-
load to verify the contents of the flash memory buffer in the event that a normal or
incremental download does not retrieve all the data that you expect to receive.
Once you have selected the type of download, click Download.
Note
Each time a data download is performed, a header is inserted into the log file that
indicates the date of the download.
Data in the SRAM buffer contains the most recent information and will be downloaded
first. If there is any data in the flash buffer, it will be downloaded second. However, before
the data is written to the log file it will be reordered, so that the oldest data intervals will
be near the top of the file.
If you want to cancel the download or if you only want to download a certain number of
intervals, click the Stop button as soon as the desired number of interval data records are
downloaded. Once the download process has stopped, a window is displayed that indicates
number of interval data records that were downloaded.
