Transaction Data Flow
DMS & LCR 600 FUELING SOFTWARE (DATA CAPTURE)
After each delivery, the LC fueling software compiles the metrological,
transaction, customer, driver, and product data into transaction
les (.trn). The transaction les are then sent to the ofce PC either
wirelessly (Wi , RF or cellular), or they are downloaded to a USB
memory device (DMS only).
DB MANAGER (DATA TRANSFER)
If the transaction les are sent wirelessly (Wi , RF, or cellular) using
the Send Transactions to Ofce command, DBManager receives
the transaction les (.trn) and noties the Ofce Read program that
the les have been received. Transmissions can be setup to be sent
automatically to the ofce.
OFFICE READ (FILE CONVERSION)
The ofce read software (Delivery Read, FlightConnect Read, or
EZConnect Read) converts the transaction les (.trn) received from
the fueling software into a .csv (text) or .xml le format (Delivery Read
typically converts .trn les into text les with a .dat extension). These
formats can be used for import into most third-party software programs
and spreadsheet applications.
BACK OFFICE SOFTWARE
Back ofce software refers to any third-party software used for daily
bookkeeping. After the ofce read software converts transaction les into
a .csv (text) or .xml le format, the third-party software can import les
into its database.

The DMS can transmit les via a USB memory device. If the transaction les
are sent via USB memory device, when a shift is nished, the fuelers download
the transaction les created during their shift using the Send Transactions to
Ofce command and return the USB device to the ofce. DBManager is not
required for USB data transfers. If the les are transferred via a USB memory
device, they must be copied from the USB device and pasted into the C:/DMS
folder. From there, Read.exe can convert them into text or XML les.
