Chapter 9 Viewing Files

9.1 Operations with Files

Files you read from the meters are stored in one or in a number of
tables in the meter database. Sections of multi-section files like energy
load profiles are stored in multiple tables – each file section in a
separate database table.

Opening a Database Table

To open a database table:

Click on the Open button

on the PAS toolbar, or select Open...

from the File menu.
Select Access Database (*.mdb) in the Files of type box; select a
directory where your files are located, and point to the file you wish to

open.
Select a desired table on the right pane, and then click Open, or

double click on the table name.

Names of the last 16 files you opened are stored in the File menu, so
you can select them directly from the menu.

Saving Data to a File

To save data from the open database table to a file:

Click on the Save button

, and select a directory where you want

your file to be stored.
Select a database or type the name for a new database.
Click Save.

To avoid confusion, do not store data files into the Sites directory
where site databases are located.
