Retrieving Historical Data from
Your Meters
If your meter has on-board logging capabilities, you can retrieve the historical logs from the meter and
save them to the database for later analysis. This can be done in two ways. The first is uploading
historical data on demand at any time you need them. The second is using the upload scheduler that
runs at predefined intervals on your schedule, for example, daily, weekly or monthly. Historical logs
are stored as separate tables to the .mdb databases.
Uploading Historical Data on Demand
o retrieve the historical logs from your meter, select a meter site from the
list box on the toolbar, check the 'On-line' button
on the toolbar, and
then select 'Upload Logs' from the 'Logs' menu.
Click the 'Select logs' button, check boxes for logs you want to upload from the
meter, and then click 'OK'.
If you leave the box named 'Do not scan entire file' checked with the
PM171 or PM295 meters, PAS will retrieve only new records that have
not yet been read. In the event the historical files have been read from another PC,
PAS might skip the last read records and you will miss data. Check this box with
caution only if you are sure that your meter may not be accessed from another PC.
Select an existing database, or type the name for a new database and select a
directory where you want to save it, and then click 'OK'.
Using the Upload Scheduler
o setup the Upload Scheduler, select 'Upload Scheduler' from the 'Logs'
menu.
