RadioLog 8 and Hanlog32 files can be imported into an existing EMS System using the EMS Remote Management Tools.

Restrictions

•An EMS upgrade can ONLY be made directly from a RadioLog8 System.
If you still are using Radiolog7 then you MUST first transfer the data to Radiolog8 format.

•Files can only be imported to the Hanwell Pro Radio or Hanwell Pro Logger families of Sensors on the EMS System.

•The Sensor that data is being imported from must be added to EMS BEFORE the data import.

•Both the Physical Sensor that the data originated from and the EMS Sensor that the Data is to be imported into, must be the same type, with the same number of channels; for example, you cannot import data from a PT100 Sensor to a Thermistor Sensor.

Once imported, the Progress window dialog will close.

•As an example, a RadioLog file with half a million records, will take about 3 minutes to import*.
