Frequently Asked Questions and Answers
This appendix contains the most frequently asked questions about using the
Enpac 2500 with Emonitor.
Setting Up Measurement
Definitions in Emonitor How do I set up measurement definitions?
Emonitor and the Enpac 2500 can collect and store a wide range of types of
measurements. To take advantage of these capabilities, you must understand how
to set up the different types of measurement definitions.
For examples of setting up specific types of measurement definitions, see Setting
Up Measurement Definitions on page 78 .
Why do unsupported selections appear in Emonitor?
Each data collector supports only certain selections in the drop down lists in the
Measurement Definition pane. Emonitor automatically displays the correct
selections when you select one or more active collectors. You select the active
collector or collectors by choosing Tools > Set Active Collectors in Emonitor. If
you do not select the Enpac 2500 as the active collector, it can affect the
selections in one of two ways:
• If you do not select any collectors, Emonitor displays all possible
selections, not just those for the Enpac 2500.
• If you select two or more different collectors, Emonitor displays only the
selections that are available for both collectors.
