The menu allows to save/restore device data to/from file.
Figure 46: Menu ‘File’
Two different types of data can be downloaded from the device
to a PC and saved into ASCII text files: the device readings and
the device settings.
The readings file contains the measured data shown in the
“Measurements” menu. The settings file contains all static
parameters of the device including those in the different menus
described above.
The filenames can be edited.
ABB recommends using the file extension .rea or .dmp for the
device views and .set or .stt for the device settings.
If an existing file name is chosen the new data are appended to
this file.
After pressing <Download readings> the readings data are
downloaded and written to a file with the specified name. The
data can be viewed and analyzed. Alternatively, in the “Second
harmonic signal” menu you can download all instrument displays
(see
Second harmonic signal <Second harmonic signal>
page 55).
After pressing <Download settings> the device setting
parameters are downloaded and written to a file with the
specified name.
The setting file is useful as backup of the device settings. It is
useful to save the current device settings before making any
changes to the device parameters. The same also applies before
and after each calibration.
It is possible to upload instrument settings from a PC, thus
updating the instrument with new settings or restoring a
previously saved instrument configuration.
It is important to ensure that the settings file is correct and
actually belongs to this analyzer. The settings file can be edited
with any text editor. Parameters that are not to be uploaded can
be removed.
