Operations with Files
Files you read from the meters are stored in one or in a

files are stored in multiple tables – each file section in a
separate database table.

1. Click on the Open button
on the Power Software
toolbar, or select “Open...” from the File menu.
2. Select “Access Database (*.mdb)” in the “Files of type”
box; select a directory where your files are located,
and point to the file you wish to open.
3. Select a desired table on the right pane, and then click
Open, or double click on the table name.
Names of the last 16 files you opened are stored in the File
menu, so you can select them directly from the menu.
Saving Data to a File
To save data from the open database table to a file:
1. Click on the Save button
, and select a directory

2. Select a database or type the name for a new
database.
3. Click Save.
To avoid confusion, do not store data files into the “Sites”
