
The software provides a project management in order to allow the user to manage different projects. A
projectmaybealocaldistributionnetworkorpartofit(e.g.atown,asuburb,etc.)oranyotherorganization
unit.Allloggersthat aretobe insertedintothe software'sdatabasemust beassignedtoaproject.Loggers
maybeinsertedintoseveralunitswiththesameloggernu
mber.However,ithastobetakeninconsideration
that measurement data stored in the logger can only be transferred into one project. This is because
successfultransferringofthedataa
utomaticallyemptiesthelogger'smemory.

After first time starting of the software an example project with example data will be opened. Before
insertingnewloggersanewprojectshouldbecreated(mainmenucommandNewproject...):

udespaces)andafterpressingthe
okbuttonthetabularloggerlistwillbecleared.

The main menu commands allow switching between different projects, as well as copying, renaming and
deletingofprojects.

Additionally,projectsmaybesharedbetweendifferentusersbypackingthemintoZIPfilesandsendingthem
via e‐mail or transferring them by disk or network. Direct sendin
g via email requires a MAPI‐capable mail
software (MAPI = Mail Application Programming Interface), e.g. Microsoft Exchange, Outlook, Outlook
