VA Database 2.0

Note: Each time a determination is sent to the database, a de-

termination file (*.dtm) and an ASCII determination report file (*.rpt)

will be stored automatically to the backup directory if the option

Save original files is enabled in the SERIAL INTERFACE SETTINGS

window (see Default directories, page 51).

Send methods to the backup directory (binary and

ASCII files)

1. If you want to observe the process of data transfer, click on

or MAIN WINDOW / Window / Communication to open the VA

COMMUNICATION window (the data transfer works also in the

background).

2. Load the method to be sent into the working storage of the

746 VA Trace Analyzer.

3. On dialog page "DOCUMENTATION" in the 746 VA Trace

Analyzer enter on a new line Report ActMeth in the COPY Re-

ports, Curves column and RSIfc.1 or RSIfc.2 in the TO destina-

tion column.

4. Activate the data transfer by moving the cursor to the de-

scribed line and pressing the softkey <Exec. line>.

Using this procedure both the binary method file (*.mth) and the

ASCII method report file (*.rpt) are transferred and stored in the

backup directory.

Note: If a method contains the line COPY Report ActMeth TO

RSIfc.# on the dialog page "DOCUMENTATION", the method files

are sent automatically to the backup directory after termination of

the analysis.

Send methods to the backup directory (only binary

files)

1. If you want to observe the process of data transfer, click on

or MAIN WINDOW / Window / Communication to open the VA

COMMUNICATION window (the data transfer works also in the

background).

2. Select the method(s) to be sent on the dialog page

"METHODS" or "DATA CARD" in the 746 VA Trace Analyzer.

3. Press the softkeys <Copy to> and <RS232 Ifc.1>/<RS232 Ifc.2>.

The binary method files (*.mth) will be transferred to the prede-

fined backup directory (see Default directories, page 51).
