CPP Monitor 2000 User’s Manual
Your PC will instruct the modem to dial the CPP Monitor 2000 unit
using the phone number from the Unit Data form. The CPP Monitor
2000 will answer the call and establish a connection with your
modem. If a remote connection is not established, see the Trouble-
shooting section of this manual.
Off-line Communication
Off-line communication provides a method of viewing the program-
ming in a unit without being connected. You can also query, view or
print information from the Data Logger or Event Logger while off-
line. For Off-line communication you must have a data file saved
for the unit selected. This can only be created after you have
finished programming a unit while on-line and saved the program-
ming. The Manager 2000 software will prompt you to save when
you exit, or you can save by clicking File>Save Data from the menu
bar. A “File Save” box will appear so that you can enter a file name
for that unit. Do not change the .s2k extension because the software
uses this to identify CPP Monitor 2000 data files.
MANAGING UNIT PROGRAMMING FILES
The programming parameters of a CPP Monitor 2000 unit should be
saved to a Data File in your computer. There are several reasons for
this:
1. In order to view a unit’s programming off-line, you need to save the
unit’s programming in a Data File.
2. Once you save the programming for a particular unit, you may copy
the same information into another unit.
3. It’s a good idea to have a backup copy of a unit’s programming in
case the unit gets damaged.
The Manager 2000 Windows software allows you to view saved
CPP Monitor 2000 unit information without being connected to a
unit. You may view a unit’s programming, or view a unit’s down-
loaded Data Logger or Event Logger. In order to view a unit’s
programming, you need to save the unit’s programming in a Data
File while still on-line.
To create a Data File:
While you are on-line, choose “File” from the main menu, then
select “Save Data.” Enter a file name, then click “OK.”
This will create an Offline Data File.
