Using The Download Folder - AEMC PEL 102 User Manual

4.6 Using the Download Folder

Downloaded sessions are saved to the download folder, which is located in the "...\My document\DataView\Download\
PEL\" folder. Sessions are saved so they do not need to be downloaded more than once. They are also saved so that if
you exit the PEL Control Panel while downloading, the download can resume (where it left off) the next time the program
starts.
■
To open the Download Folder dialog box select Tools > Download Folder from the main menu.
■ The Download Folder dialog box contains a list of instruments on the left side. This list contains instruments from
which sessions were previous downloaded. On the right is a list of sessions that are in the download folder for the
selected instrument.
■
Initially the list on the right is empty because no instrument is initially selected. Selecting an instrument on the left will
update the list on the right to display all of the sessions associated with the selected instrument that are currently in
the download folder.
■
You can use the download folder to open recordings previously downloaded even when the instrument is not
connected to the computer. To do this, select the instrument on the left that the session was downloaded from.
Next, select the desired session from the list on the right. Finally, select the Open button to open the session and
display it in the My Open Sessions navigation tree branch.
■
You can remove individually saved sessions from the download folder by selecting the desired session and clicking
on the Delete button located under the list on the right.
NOTE: A session cannot be deleted from the Download Folder dialog box if it is still currently listed in the Down-
load dialog box. You must first open the Download dialog box (go to Instrument > Download Recorded Data) and
hit the Clear All button.
■
Note that there are two Delete buttons. The one on the left (under the list of instruments) will delete all of the saved
items for the selected instrument. The Delete button on the right (under the list of saved sessions) will delete only the
selected session from the download folder.
Each time the PEL Control Panel starts it will calculate how much space is being used on the computer's hard drive and
compare it to the "Maximum allowable download folder size" specified at the bottom of the Download Folder dialog box.
