Example 8.2: Exporting Tag ID Records
In this example, we’ll export those sample Tag ID records that are located in
Area1.
1. Select the Import/Export button on the Main Menu to access the
Import/Export Selection screen.
2. Select the Export Instrument... button to access the Quick Search screen.
3. Enter “Area1” (excluding the quotes) in the Area field.
4. Select the Search button.
5. Select the Proceed button. Respond to any subsequent dialog box as
appropriate. An INST_OUT.ASC file has just been created (or appended)
within the directory containing your database files. This file includes the
sample Instrument records meeting our search criteria. (The directory
containing your database files is designated by the LccPath variable within
your DPCTRACK.INI file.) After the export is complete, you will be returned
to the Import/Export Selection screen.
6. Select the Main Menu button to return to the Main Menu.
The INST_OUT.ASC file is a tab-delimited ASCII text file that may be viewed
using Windows Notepad, or most any other word processing program. Note that
the first row within this file contains the headers that identify the exported fields.
Note
The TC Source Mode field is a YesNo field. An exported “Yes” value
corresponds to “Linear w/ Temp”. An exported “No” value
corresponds to “Linear with mV”.
