Programming the IQ 250/260 IQ 250/260 Meter
The Time Range Retrieval mode is useful if you want to retrieve specic events. If you select Use Time Range
from the pull-down menu, date range elds will display, allowing you to select the time range for data retrieval.
Only records (within the specied time range) that are newer than the latest records in the log database can be
retrieved for any selected logs. For this reason, Time Range Retrieval should not be used for Billing or
continuous logging purposes. The only way to retrieve earlier records using Time Range Retrieval is to delete the
existing log database(s) before retrieving the log(s).
5. Click Retrieve.
a. You will see a screen that shows the percent retrieved for each log, the time elapsed since retrieval
began, and any messages.
b. After the logs have been retrieved, you will see a screen which shows you the Mode, Start time, and Status of
Log Conversion.
c. The Log Viewer opens.
NOTES:
Only one person at a time can download a log. If someone else is downloading a log, it will be unavailable •
until the download is complete.
Retrieve logs as often as you want. Each time you retrieve a log le, Eaton Meter Conguration Software •
appends only the newest records and captures to the existing database.
