5 . Click the

SD Import

button.

6 . Navigate to the SD card location on your computer.

7 . Select the types of data you want to import.

Test Data

is data from bump tests,

calibrations, and alarm checks done with the SDM-6000 (in either Standalone
or PC Controlled Mode) and is saved as a .txt file. It will not include data from
tests done away from the SDM-6000.

Logs Data

is saved instrument data that

was downloaded to the SD card during a data download (in Standalone Mode
only) and is saved as a .dat file. It will include Interval Trend data, Alarm Trend
data, etc. If you select

Test Data

, only .txt files will be displayed for selection. If

you select

Logs Data

, only .dat files will be displayed.

8 . Select the files that you want to import or use the Check All box to select all of

the files.

9 . Click
