AMS Standalone Data Transfer is available on your install disk that is included with your
analyzer. Follow the prompts in the install wizard.
AMS Standalone Data Transfer allows different levels of interactive functionality with your
analyzer depending on the analyzer's capabilities.
Analyzers using Ethernet may connect to the CSI Data Transfer Service running on the AMS
Machinery Manager server. Enter your AMS Machinery Manager user name and password
to access the database list.
Transferring files
AMS Standalone Data Transfer allows you to transfer a route to a file that can be sent to
remote locations by email, for example, and then transferred into an analyzer or into the
database. This type of file lets you send routes to and from analyzers at remote locations
using AMS Standalone Data Transfer instead of an AMS Machinery Manager Client.
To send a file to a remote user, create a route file using AMS Machinery Manager Data
Transfer and email the file to the remote location. The remote user can use Standalone
Data Transfer to load the file onto a connected analyzer.
To transfer a route or job into the AMS Machinery Manager database, use AMS Standalone
Data Transfer to load the file from the analyzer to a files on the computer. Then email the
file to the AMS Machinery Manager user, or put the file on a network drive. If you email the
file, put the file in the Working Directory to import the file.
Limitations
• You cannot install AMS Standalone Data Transfer on the same computer as AMS
Machinery Manager.
• You cannot create route or job files. You can only transfer files.
• You cannot save files directly to the AMS Machinery Manager database.
