Using Snapshots (VM Files)
You can save operational and data logging information in “snapshots” (VM, virtual
memory files). These snapshots let you view data, generate a report, and save or change
setpoint configurations even when you are not connected to a control device. To access the
stored information, you “connect” to the snapshot instead of the physical control device.
Each control device Setup disk includes a sample snapshot.
Save Control Device Settings and Data to a Snapshot
1. Connect your computer to the control device from which you want save information,
then start the IntelliLINK software.
For details, see

step.
2. From the File menu, choose Save Snapshot.
3. In the dialog box, specify a file name and location for this snapshot, then click Save.
If you do not specify a location, the file is saved to the same directory as the program
files for this for this type of control device. The extension “.VM” is added
automatically.
View (connect to) a Snapshot
1. Start the IntelliLINK software on your computer. During startup, click Cancel to close
the Connect dialog box.

The Open Controller Data File dialog box opens.
3. Select the snapshot that you want to use, then click Open.
4. If you plan to change the configuration settings in the snapshot, click Yes at the

click No.
The IntelliLINK software opens and displays the contents of the selected snapshot.
