RETRIEVING LOGGED DATA
Retrieving, downloading, uploading, transferring—these terms are
sometimes used interchangeably to mean the act of copying data from
the place where it was logged to a host PC. The Extract operation in
Win-Situ or Pocket-Situ retrieves test data from the MP TROLL 9500
memory and saves it to a file on the host com puter. You may view the
file immediately after the download, or later.
1. With the MP TROLL 9500 connected to a host PC and selected in
the Navigation tree, click or tap Tests.
2. In the Information pane, select one or more tests to extract. To
select multiple tests, hold the CTRL key while selecting. (To display
the CTRL key on a PDA, tap the keyboard symbol.)
3. Click or tap
Extract
to extract the test(s).
When the extraction is complete, the name(s) and locations of the
test data file(s) on the host computer are displayed (see box on the
next page). If a selected test has been extracted previously, only
data logged since the last download is extracted and is automati-
cally appended to the original file.
The software presents two options after the extraction:
s
View
launches the data viewer to view the selected file.
s
Done
returns to the Tests view in the software.
TIP:
The “Extract” operation puts a copy of a test data file
on your PC, but does not delete the test from the device. To
free up device mem ory, see Deleting Tests, next.
TIP:
When extracting a large test to a PDA on battery power,
avoid letting the PDA time out during the transfer. To locate
this setting in most PDAs, display the Start menu, select
Settings, System tab, Power.
SECTION 6: LOGGING DATA
TIP:
On a PDA, the Pocket-Situ \ Data folder is located
in the device’s non-volatile storage.
