| There are several ways to get this done:
a) ASCII export: the most common way to retrieve data is by exporting it into ASCII files. This can be done manually or automatically.
Manual export: in addVANTAGE Pro 5.1 open a trend panel. Switch from trend view to table view and right-click into the table. A popup menu will let you store the date into an ASCII file.
Automatic export: the A2A utility program (A2A = addUPI-to-ASCII) will automatically create ASCII files with customizable headers and footers. You can select the sensors you want to export, the frequency of export, the number of files to be created (daily, weekly, monthly, etc.) and where they are to be stored.
2) addUPI export: using the Adcon XML protocol addUPI any data set can individually be retrieved from the database. This protocol is fairly easy to implement and avoids all the disadvantages of file-related exports.
