Database Download
You can download the database from the system onto the programming PC. You
can then upload the database file onto another system for study or keep it as a long
term archive copy. It is
strongly recommended
that you make a back-up disc of the
downloaded database (use any of the freely available compression utilities to reduce
the file size before copying to disc. A copy disc should be stored on-site.
– Note:
Downloading the database does not take the IVM Lite prompts and
messages. To download the voice prompts and messages, use the following
instructions for FTP Database Download, but use the file name
vs
instead of
db
.
Downloading with Kermit is not recommended, but if used, then select
