Chapter 2 - The dataPAC
Program Manager
The Program Manager appears when you power up the data collector for the first time. Each
selection in the Program Manager allows you to complete different tasks, such as collecting
data, defining setup, and reviewing data. Other programs vary depending on your model of
dataPAC and which features you chose to activate.
A black box around the name of the icon means the icon is selected. In the diagram, Data
Collection is selected. You can press <F1> (Select) or <SELECT> to start the selected
program. An asterisk by the program name means the program is still running in the
background. In the diagram, Review Data is still running. You can stop a program from the
Program Manager by selecting it and pressing <F2> (Stop).
Once you have entered a program, there are two methods for moving back to the Program
Manger window without closing that program.
z
Press <SHIFT><RETURN/MANAGER> to switch without closing the current
program.
z
Press <RETURN> to switch to the last program that was open without closing the
current program. If no programs are running the dataPAC returns to the Program
Manager.
Program Manager functions include:
Data Collection
The Data Collection program allows you to collect both route and unscheduled (off-route)
data.
Setup Utility
The Setup Utility allows you to change your display and options for collecting data to best
suit your needs.
Review Data
The Review Data program allows you to view various types of summary information for a
point after you collect your data.
