3.13.4 Import and export between different workstations
In Trendline every measuring point in the database has a unique number, the so-
called GUID (Global Unique Identifier). This number is only stored in the database
and is not displayed in the software. With it, configurations and measuring points
are unambiguous over several workstations. Consequently when exporting data
from one workstation and re importing it, it will be automatically recognized and
sorted in correctly. This will be explained by means of an example.
On a central location (headquarters) all measured data is analyzed. However it is
measured on several locations. This exports a part of the configuration containing
the measuring points for location B and imports it to a computer at location B in
Trendline. The data are imported into the Detector, the measuring points are
measured, and the measured data are read back into the computer. The
configuration is now exported from workstation B and imported into the Trendline
on the workstation in headquarters. The following graph shows the example
graphically.
