Files you read from the meters are stored in one or in a number of
tables in the meter database. Sections of multi-section files like energy
load profiles are stored in multiple tables – each file section in a
separate database table.
To open a database table:
Click on the Open button
from the File menu.
Select Access Database (*.mdb) in the Files of type box; select a
directory where your files are located, and point to the file you wish to
open.
Select a desired table on the right pane, and then click Open, or
double click on the table name.
Names of the last 16 files you opened are stored in the File menu, so
you can select them directly from the menu.
To save data from the open database table to a file:
Click on the Savebutton
your file to be stored.
Select a database or type the name for a new database.
Click Save.

where site databases are located.

tab.
Select the preferred date order.
