Export or Import Data using USB Flash
Drive
You can use the USB host port to transfer data to and from your
instrument using a USB memory device (e.g. flash drive or externally
powered USB hard drive). You can transfer routes, recordings, balance
jobs, sensor configurations, and other data. You can generate portable
XML data using compatible software like Ascent.
EG: You can import an XML file containing a route, and all
associated machines and schedule entries generated in Ascent at
another physical location. This file could be emailed or sent on CD-
ROM and imported using your instrument's USB host port (you do
NOT need to use Ascent). The route would then be collected as
normal and the measurements exported once, using the USB host
port as XML. When returned to the original sender, the instrument
XML file could be imported into Ascent for normal
measurement/route analysis.
If you export or import data using a USB flash drive, note that:
• A route (or routes) can be created at one location.
• The route(s) can be sent to an instrument and operator at a
geographically remote second location.
• The completed route can be returned without re-installing
Ascent / Without direct communication between Ascent and
your instrument.
