Connect to a Database
It is necessary to create a database to store and access test configuration data.
When you first open EDM, the Database Access Wizard will be displayed. Select
Create a New Database to create a new empty database. Click on the Next
button, enter a new database name, and click the Create button. Then, click the
Access button after the database has been created.
Figure 4: Database Access
There are two password controls in the EDM software. One
password accesses the database server and the other
password logs into EDM as a user. The database password
is rarely used.
When creating a new database, check the box as shown below to copy libraries of
channel table, sensor parameters, shaker parameters, and configured system
from the current database.
