Transfer Data Files from the Module

Each module retains detailed, time-stamped data related to compliance test results and module configuration events. The data are continuously updated, and stored in on-board memory. When the on-board memory has reached capacity, the newest data replaces the oldest data.

Each module also stores event logs and datalogs that are transferred from inserted detectors. When the on-board memory has reached capacity, the newest logs replace the oldest logs.

You can use Fleet Manager II software to transfer and manage data files, or you can transfer the data files to a PC via USB flash drive. Data file transfers may take several minutes to complete when multiple and/or large data files are transferred. For best results, BW Technologies recommends that you transfer data files periodically.

For more information, refer to the Fleet Manager II operator manual and the appropriate detector operator manual.
