6.3 Transfer of Trend Data
With the program HMI Tools File Transfer (icon in the program group HMI Tools)
installed on the PC, it is possible for trend data, recipes and alarm lists to be trans-
ferred to/from the PC for statistical calculations and other types of presentation and
storage. Not available for E1022.
It is also possible via FTP to transfer trend data, recipes, alarm lists, html files,
operator panel applets and bitmap images between an operator panel and a PC. An
FTP client program must be installed in the PC. In the program group HMI Tools
there is a program, FTP Client, which functions as a standard FTP client.
Trend files can be opened directly in Excel for statistical calculations. See separate
manual for HMI Tools.
