Collecting and Reviewing Data
The Dynamix 2500 data collector lets you to collect a list of measurement
definitions, data for points in a list (route) and for unscheduled data (points not
defined in a route). Once you collect your data, you can review the data on the
screen or save it to a storage card. You can then unload the data from the route
into the Emonitor database for storage and analysis.
Preparing for Data
