Working with ecoExplorer go – First steps with ecoExplorer go 3 Working with ecoExplorer go 3.1 First steps with ecoExplorer go 3.1.1 Welcome window The Welcome window can be opened under the menu item “Window/Welcome” and provides support to initial steps when working with ecoExplorer go. Fig.: Welcome window Creating a project To be able to work with ecoExplorer go, at least one project must be open.
Supported operating systems – First steps with ecoExplorer go 3.1.2 Creating new project • New projects are created under the menu item File/New project or via the “Welcome window”. • Set the selection to “Database project” in the “Projects” pane and confirm the selection with “Next”. Fig.
Supported operating systems – First steps with ecoExplorer go • Give the project a name and identify the location it is to be saved to. The “Browse” button can also be used to find and specify the location the project is to be saved to. • For smaller projects with only a few devices and little data, you can use the File DB database included in the scope of delivery. When using the standard database (File DB), clicking on “Finish” saves the project.
Supported operating systems – First steps with ecoExplorer go 3.1.3 Opening existing project • Use the menu item “File/Open project” to select and open an existing ecoExplorer go project (projects from Version 2.x). • Select the desired project in the selection window and open it by clicking on the “Open project” button.
