Click on File and select Export Field Names from the submenu if you want the field titles (Date, Time, Event Code, etc.) to be included with the data when you export.

Copying to the Clipboard

You can highlight and copy selected cells within the grid to the Windows clipboard. To highlight the data simply click-and-hold the left mouse button and drag the mouse over the cells you wish to highlight, then either right-click and select Copy, or click Edit from the main menu and select Copy. To select all of the data in the grid, right-click within the grid and choose Select All from the contextual menu, or click Edit from the main menu and choose Select All from the submenu. This will highlight all of the data in the grid. You can then perform the Copy function as previously described.

Deleting Data

The Delete button will remove the queried data displayed in the grid from the database. TheViewer Menu offers you other features as well to customize your report.

Archiving

As the history database grows it will begin to take longer to perform a query. It is recommended that the database be periodically archived to keep the size reasonable and to permit satisfactory performance of the HistoryView program. Archiving may be done as often as necessary for perfor- mance reasons but it must be done when the database reaches its physical limit. To find out how big the database is for a particular unit, select Database Statistics under the Archive menu. The size of the database and percent full will appear in the status bar along the bottom of the grid. A warning message will appear when the database reaches 80% of its capacity.

To archive the history database select Archive from the main menu and then choose Select database to archive. Locate the history.db file for the unit you wish to archive and click Open. Next, enter the date range to archive (typically one or more months or a quarter). Click the Archive button. The archived data will be stored in a file that includes the “from” and “to” date range in a yr/mn/dy for- mat.

After archiving it’s recommended that you Pack the history database (history.db) to delete the old data and reduce the file size. To do this select Pack Database from the Archive menu. Note that the Pack Database function can only be executed while offline with the RIM-600 unit. To run HistoryView while not connected, click File, then Run from the ConsoleView main menu.

To view archived data, you will need to restore an archived database. To do this, choose Select archive to restore from the Archive menu. Next, choose the archive file you wish to restore and click Open. Next, click the Restore button. The archived data will be copied into the history data- base and a query can be performed.

Manually Forcing History Downloads

You can manually force full history downloads at any time. As previously stated, if you’re on a dialup connection, you may choose to disable auto updates, and need to download the data periodi- cally. To do this, go to your main RIM-600 menu and right-click on History in the tree diagram.

Select Force Full Eventlog Download to manually download the Eventlog or Select Full Datalog Download to manually download the current datalog.
