Initializing the Data Collector before Loading
If data already exists in the data collector but you do not need it anymore, you can
erase the data by initializing the data collectors memory using Emonitor. Make
sure that you no longer need the data before deleting it.
Before you initialize the Enpac memory, make sure Emonitor and the data
collector are properly connected. If not, see
Connecting the Data Collector and
Computer (RS-232) on page 102 .
There are two ways you can initialize the Enpac using Emonitor, either
automatically before loading a list, or manually at any time. You can also use the
Enpac to initialize memory.
Refer to Instrument Configuration Parameters on page 44 for details on how to
initialize memory using the Enpac.
To Automatically Initialize the Data Collector before Loading a List
1. Choose Tools > Load/Unload.
2. Click the Load Options button in the Load/Unload dialog. The Load

3. Check the Initialize data collector before loading checkbox.

TIP You initialize the Enpac internal memory and memory card separately. This
is determined by the Route Memory setting in the Setup screen.
IMPORTANT Initializing the data collector memory erases the existing data. Be sure that
you no longer need the data before deleting it.
