Restore Route
Sometimes a route that you have already unloaded to the Route Management software
needs to be sent again. For example, you might find that a communication error occurred
and the readings in the Route Management software are unusable. Restore Route allows
you to transfer the readings from The Portable Interrogator 400 to the Route Management
software a second time.
In The Portable Interrogator 400, after you successfully send readings to the Route
Management software, the route is removed to make room for a new route. However,
The Portable Interrogator 400 stores a backup copy of the route last sent to the Route
Management software. If you need to send the readings to the Route Management
software again, the Restore Route function will restore the route information, including
any gathered meter readings, from The Portable Interrogator 400’s backup copy. The
backup copy remains in The Portable Interrogator 400 until you send the next group of
readings to the Route Management Software. Then that group of readings is held as the
new backup.
The Restore Route function begins when you press the Restore Route button. The
Portable Interrogator 400 will check to be sure that no new route information has been
loaded. If so, The Portable Interrogator 400 will remind you that restoring the old route
will overwrite the current route, including any meter readings that might have been
gathered.
If you still wish to restore the route, press the OK button. The current route will be
removed from The Portable Interrogator 400 and the previous route will be restored. If
you do not wish to restore the route, press the Do Not Restore button.
