Managing Tasks
& Data
The data management process consists of three steps:
1. Captures Using your VRC2500’s Timed Events program you
can schedule routine data captures on your VRC2500. Data
captures are also an available action choice when setting up
Metering and Status channel alarm conditions. Macros can also
be used to generate captures. Once a capture is taken, it is
stored in VRC2500’s memory until the next time you connect to
the site at which point the data is downloaded to a file on your
PC. When data is being downloaded, a small Data icon appears
over the unit icon. When the download is finished, the icon
disappears.
2. Collection Once the captures have been stored, they will
need to be collected and imported into the database. When the
data is collected, you can browse and select data, create reports
and schedule print jobs.
3. Print Jobs The third step is creating a hard copy of the data.
This chapter discusses two powerful tools that facilitate data and
task management. The Data Browser enables you to manage
your data and perform collection and print jobs. The Scheduler is
used to manage tasks and to create automated tasks for running
any VRC2500 program or Windows executable file.
