This can be useful when a service laptop is used to download multiple machines and transfer the data to a central computer for analysis. This can also be used to copy haul data from a particular truck from a diskette into a database for analysis. NOTE: There is no recovery for records that have been deleted from the main database.
It is highly recommended that all records be exported and archived in a compressed file format for future reference before being deleted. To import data, press the "IMPORT" button at the bottom of the “Payload Summary” screen. The program will ask for a ".zip" file to import, locate the file and press "Open". The program will only import ".zip" files created by another computer running the PDM Software.
