Download Data Button

This menu option will allow the user to download the logged data from the selected instrument in the instrument drop-down list - .  Clicking on this button will display the Downloading Data screen.  Note:  Once the screen is displayed, it will begin to download logged data immediately.

 

When the Downloading Data screen is first displayed, it will attempt to connect to the instrument.  Once connected, it will determine how many new files are present, and then it will begin to download each file to the instrument’s folder on the local computer.  Note:  Each instrument’s folder on the local computer is named by the instrument’s serial number.  The Downloading Data screen will display the progress of the download through a progress bar at the top of the screen.  Each file being downloaded will be displayed on the screen as well.  A white circle with an arrow - - means that the file is being downloaded.  A green circle with a check mark - - means that the file has been downloaded.  The status of the download will be displayed above the progress bar during the download process.  If there is an error during the download or the SSi XGA Viewer software cannot connect to the instrument, there will be a red circle with a white x - - detailing the error.  If the user wishes to have the Downloading Data screen automatically close when the downloading process is finished, click on the “Close this dialog when downloading is complete” checkbox.  If this checkbox is not checked, the user will have to manually close the Downloading Data screen by clicking on the Cancel button, or by clicking on the red X in the top right of the screen - .
