Data Download Documentation:
==============================

The program dataDownload.exe can be used to download sensor data from the 
ServSensor. The output of the data downloaded is stored in a text file. 

The data output text file name includes the IP address of the host, port 
number, and sensor type being downloaded. For example, 
192.168.0.100_p1_temperature.txt is the file name for the data output when 
downloading the sensor data from IP address 192.168.0.100. 

Once the program is executed it will download sensor data from all sensors 
connected to the ServSensor.

The data output that have been downloaded can be read into a spreadsheet 
program such as MS Excel.


How to download data:
====================

1. Start the program dataDownload. This program contains many command line 
options. To learn what these options are you can enter "dataDownload -?" 
from the DOS prompt.

Syntax:
=======
datadownload <-i ServSensorIP> <-p password>

  -i ServSensorIP   The IP of ServSensor to download data from.
  -p password        The password of the ServSensor (set or get 
community).
  -t                 Use local timezone for timestamp.
  -o                 Overwrite data if files exist.
  -?                 Display this usage information and exit.

You will be prompted for any required options you did not specify.

A typical command line could be:
dataDownload -i 192.168.0.100 -p public -o

2. The data output file called for example 192.168.0.100_p1_temperature.txt 
should be copied to a new directory for analysis.  The filename contains IP 
address, port number, and a sensor type.  This is suggested because the 
next time dataDownload is run it will append data to the output file.

3. Read the data output file into Excel. Excel will load the text input 
wizard.  You should choose Delimited and press Next. You should then choose 
comma and press Finish.
