Retrieving and Storing Files
PAS allows you to retrieve recorded events and data from your meters
and to save them to files on your PC in the Microsoft Access database
format.
Historical data can be uploaded on demand any time you need it, or
periodically through the Upload Scheduler that retrieves data
automatically on a predefined schedule, for example, daily, weekly or
monthly.
If you do not change the destination database location, new data is added
to the same database so you can store long-term data profiles in one
database regardless of the upload schedule you selected.
