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

1. Click on the Open button

2. Select “Access Database (*.mdb)” in the “Files of type”

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.

1. Click on the Save button

2. Select a database or type the name for a new
