Chapter 8 Retrieving and Storing Files
PAS allows you to retrieve recorded events and data from your meters and to save them to files on your
PC in the Microsoft Access database format.
Historical data can be uploaded on demand any time you need it, or periodically through the Upload
Scheduler that retrieves data automatically on a predefined schedule, for example, daily, weekly or
monthly.
If you do not change the destination database location, new data is added to the same database so you
can store long-term data profiles in one database regardless of the upload schedule you selected.
