What is Updating the Database?
Once E-Mon Energy™ identifies the recorder through the scanning process, the recorder will need to be added to the
Database. This is accomplished through the Access group window using the Update Database button. The Update
Database button opens a drop-down window that displays new, bad, and current devices in the database. Once
scanned, the user can view the new devices and add them to the database. If a device scans “bad,” the user can
remove the device from the database. See the illustrations below, and for complete steps, refer to Updating the
Database
within this section.

What is initializing a Recorder?
The process of initializing a recorder is seldom done, except for system startup or when adding a new recorder.
Initializing a recorder is like resetting any electronic device, such as a DVD, to the factory default settings. When
initializing, the parameters are set to factory default, the register is cleared from the recorder, as well as from the
meter display. This process is done from the Access Location window under Setup Hardware. During the initializing
process, the Access Location window displays the initialization in the status bar area. See illustrations below, and for
complete steps, see Initializing the Recorder within this section.
