Instructions on downloading snapshots and recordings to a USB 2.0 flash drive to clear Premium Monitoring System drive space.

Downloading Data

It is necessary to download snapshots and baseline recordings for offline analysis and to clear drive space to ensure proper operation of the Premium Monitoring System Application.

To download automated-threshold and operator-created waveforms:

  1. At the bottom of the screen, click DOWNLOAD WVFM’S.

    The FILE MANAGER screen appears.

  2. Using the slider bar under File Type, select the type of file you wish to download.

  3. Take note of the MB value displayed under the Recordings Folder. That value is the amount of space that you need on the flash drive to which the data will be transferred.

  4. Insert a USB 2.0 flash drive. The free space on the drive is reported in the MB field under Free Space On Thumb Drive. If the drive has sufficient space available, the indicator will turn green.

  5. Click COPY. Files are copied to the flash drive root directory.

  6. When the copy has finished, remove the flash drive and copy the files to your plant’s designated permanent storage location. Confirm that the files copied successfully prior to returning to the Premium Monitoring System File Manager to delete the files.

  7. Return to the File Manager and click DELETE. Deleted files cannot be recovered.

Snapshot File Naming Conventions

Snapshot file names are designed to provide the user with as much identifying information about the snapshot as possible. Each snapshot file name includes:

  • An acronym indicating the reason for the snapshot

  • The plant name

  • The unit name

  • A time stamp indicating the exact time the snapshot was recorded

This table lists the Snapshot Reason Acronym Legend:
