The profile is now added to Scheduler. The executable file and command line information
for the various database import and update programs is also included in the online help for
the Scheduler program. You can display the Scheduler help by pressing F1, or from the
Start menu (Start > Programs > Rockwell Software > Emonitor > Help > Scheduler).
You can find more information on using the Scheduler in an Emonitor Online system in
the help for the Online Data Management Console. Click Start > Programs > Rockwell
Software > Emonitor > Help > Online Data Management Console in the section on
“Setting up the Emonitor Online System”.
Installing the Emonitor Web software
Any level of Emonitor can now be enhanced with the Emonitor Web software. This
allows you to view data from your Emonitor database over an intranet or over the Internet,
using Microsoft Internet Explorer. The Emonitor Web software uses concurrent user
licensing. This limits the number of people who can view the Emonitor data at one time,
without restricting them to specific computers with FactoryTalk Activation.
The Emonitor Web software allows you to view data for any point in your Emonitor
database by “drilling down” to the location, and then double-clicking the data type to view
trend and spectrum plots from within Internet Explorer. Typical Emonitor cursor functions
are available in these plots. You can also view reports with Emonitor Web, as well as load
and unload a data collector from a remote location, and then transfer the data back to the
Emonitor database.
