extraCting and vieWing data
Logged data (“tests”) reside in the MP TROLL 9500 until you “extract”
them. The extract operation copies test data from the device memory
to the host computer. Once a test has been extracted to the host
computer, it can be viewed. A test can be extracted and viewed at any
time, even while it or another test is running.
TIP: For more on logging, extracting, viewing, and deleting
data, refer to Section 6.
To extract a test:
1. With the MP TROLL 9500 connected to a host PC and selected in
the Navigation tree, expand the Tests node to display all the tests
in the device.
2. Select a test and click or tap
Extract
.
3. To view the test immediately, select the
View
option at the end of
the download.
TIP: After the test has been extracted to the host computer,
it will appear in the Data Folder node in the Navigation tree.
A connection to the instrument is not required to view the
extracted data.
deleting data From instrument memory
The Extract operation copies a test data file to the host PC, but does
not remove it from the MP TROLL 9500. Test data files remain in the
Multi-Parameter TROLL 9500’s memory until you delete them. Delet-
ing tests frees up device memory.
CAUTION:
Be sure to extract data you want to save before
deleting from the device. Once a test is deleted, the data
cannot be retrieved!
1. With the MP TROLL 9500 connected to a host PC and selected in
the Navigation tree, expand the Tests node to display all the tests
in the device.
2. Select a test and click
Delete
.
3. Click
Yes
to confirm your selection.
The selected test is deleted and the display is updated.
TIP: If a test is running in the device, the Delete button is
not available. You must stop the running test before tests
can be deleted. See “Stopping a Test” in Section 6.
