Datamate Software
Datamate is a customer software tool for all controller communications. There are two 
versions: Datamate Base, and Datamate Advanced. Datamate Base works on an IBM-
compatible Personal Computer (PC), or a Handheld PC or Pocket PC™ running Windows 
CE. Datamate Advanced works only on an IBM-compatible Personal Computer. 
With Datamate, you can back up, restore and edit any APOGEE
®
database (but only
Datamate Advanced allows you to edit points offline). Backing up and restoring a database is 
accomplished while connected to any APOGEE
®
field panel, or to the Automation Level
Network (ALN) or Field Level Network (FLN) device in question. A modem and telephone 
lines can also be used. Databases can be saved for permanent storage or used as backup. 
For more information on Datamate software, refer to the appropriate user guide for the 
version of Datamate you are using (Base or Advanced), or contact your local Siemens 
Building Technologies, Inc. representative.
