Installing an Unload Station
Choose the computer to be used as an Unload Station, and start the Emonitor installation
program at that computer. Go through the installation process as directed in Installing
Emonitor on page 15. Make sure you install RSLinx Classic version 3.60 or later if you
want to import data from XM or XM DYN modules or the Logix family of controllers.
Installing a Viewing Station
Choose the computer to be used as a Viewing Station, and start the Emonitor installation
program at that computer. Go through the installation process as directed in Installing
Emonitor on page 15.
Setting up Scheduler to automate tasks
You can use the Scheduler program to automate many data-related tasks. A task
automated in Scheduler is called an event. A Scheduler profile defines not only the event,
but also when and how often the event should occur. The Scheduler has two parts:

The Scheduler program that allows you to create and edit profiles.

The Scheduler service that runs in the background and launches (executes) the
scheduled profiles. The Scheduler service must be running in order to execute
scheduled profiles.
The Emonitor Scheduler service is disabled by default. In order to launch (run) scheduled
tasks, including importing data, you must enable the Scheduler service.
To start the Scheduler service
You must have Administrator privileges to start the Scheduler service.
1. Click Start > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services.
2. Select Services (local) in the left side of the Services window.
3. Select SchedulrSvc in the right side of the Services window.
4. The SchedulrSvc Startup Type should be Automatic. If it is Manual or Disabled,
right-click on SchedulrSvc and select Properties. In the Properties dialog box, set
Startup Type to Automatic, and then click OK.
5. The SchedulrSvc Status should be Started. If it is Stopped, right-click on
SchedulrSvc and select Start.
We strongly recommend that you leave the Startup Type for the SchedulrSvc as “Automatic”
in the Services console. This starts the Scheduler service automatically when Windows
starts.
