You cannot archive data in Version 1.
What is the difference between Console

Console reports are in text only form that come from the TLS
Console. TLS-PC 32 must be connected to the site to access these
reports. They may be printed only while displayed. Database
Reports can be run at any time. The data must have been collected
and stored in the database previously. The data may be collected
manually or automatically. When the Database Report is being
displayed, it may be printed or Exported to an number of Windows
programs. To access the Export function, click on the Envelope
icon.
Is there a poll history report? No, there is no polling history in Version 1.
How can I use the Text Data Files? The data file system is well integrated with other Windows
programs. Some computer programs are better suited to recieve
text only data files. For use with these applications, it may be
desirable to collect data to text files. The format is described in
detail in the Veeder-Root TLS-PC Data Storage Interface Manual,
