Introduction
The following paragraphs outline some of the differences between this version of PAS incomparison to previous versions you may have used.
Installation

If you install the new PAS into the same directory where your current version of PAS is installed, it is recommended that you do not uninstall your old PAS before installing this version; otherwise, your present PAS configuration database will be destroyed. Your current configuration database and all data files you have are stillfunctional in the new PAS.
File Formats

Although PAS allows you to open ASCII log files created by previous PAS versions, and even to store data from the screen to ASCII files, most new features will only use the Microsoft Access .mdb database format. This format allows you to store different types of logs to a single database as separate tables, and makes it easy to transport your databases ontoother PCs.
Automatic Data Retrieving

PAS allows you to retrieve all data logs from your meters at once and store them to a database, either on demand or on a time basis (e.g., daily or weekly) using a predefined schedule.
Embedded Communication Test

PAS incorporates the test features that were previously included in the DOS-based PComTest program, allowing you to test communication withyour meters.
Preprogrammed Data Sets

Any data sets you have prepared for the RT Data Monitor and RT Min/Max Log are still functional in the new PAS, although they need to undergo a simple procedure before you can use them: open the Data Set dialog and scroll through all active data sets, and then save them. Perform this procedure for both the RT Data Monitor and RT Min/Max Log.

Creating a New Site

Chapter

In order to communicate with your meters, you should create a separate site database for each one where all meter settings are stored. PAS keeps all site settings in a file with a name you give it and the extension .mdb. When you install PAS on your computer, a directory named "Sites" is created in the PAS installation directory.
