data cache and stored on the remote computer by the Data Filer:

All the Data – Retrieves all records from the selected tables.
Data Since Last Collection – Retrieves all uncollected records from the

selected tables.
Newest Number of Records – Retrieves a specific number of records

from the selected tables by backing up the number of records entered in

the

Number of Records field and retrieving all data forward.

Specific Records – Allows you to specify a beginning record number and

the number of records to collect after that record. The range of records to

retrieve is specified by completing the

Starting Record # and Number of

Records

fields.

Data from Selected Date and Time – Allows you to specify a span of

time for data collection. When this option is selected, the

Starting

Date/Time and Ending Date/Time

fields will be enabled.

File Mode

This option is used to determine how data will be stored in relation to existing

data files with the same name:

Append to End of File – Adds new data to the end of the existing data

file.
Overwrite Existing File – Replaces the existing file with a newly created

file.
Create New File – Renames the existing file with a *.bak extension, and

stores the new data with the specified file name. Subsequent *.bak files

will be named *.bak1, *.bak2, etc. The most recently *.bak file will have

the highest number.
