7 LOOP DATA BASES
7.5 Saving loop data
It is also possible to create a loop database (suitable for
loading into Site Installer) directly from Loop Tester. Once a
list of devices has been retrieved and verified to be correct,
you can select “Save to Site Installer” from the “Use loop
database” menu.
Shown to the right are the options that must be filled in
prior to saving the data. The Site Installer Database path
must be an already existing database created using Site
Installer. Loop Tester cannot create one from scratch. You
can however create a new panel within that database given
its name, type and network address. You can also replace
the data for any loop on any existing panel. Repeated use
of this feature on each physical loop will allow the creation
of a fully populated Site Installer database without the need
of a panel or the tedious job of inserting each device
manually. Note that all devices will be initially placed in
Zone 1 and will all have default cause and effect settings.
Loop tester does not allow for the uploading of data to a
panel.
