Pressing the Open File button recalls all the records previously saved to a .cil or .wlg file. The function works very much like the Instrument Download function, except that the data comes from a previously saved file

.

Two types of files can be opened and displayed:

• .cil This type of file is created by the Instrument_Manager application. It contains all the data that has been downloaded from the instrument.

• .wlg This type of file is created by the Instrument_Listener application. It contains data that is sent by an instrument over the network. When a .wlg file is opened the Instrument_Manager application asks to convert it to a .cil file. A .cil file is easier and quicker to open. Also, it can be opened by other applications in the Noise_Sentry_RT_W suite.

 

The Source field shows the User-ID of the instrument the data comes from.

 

That function works even when no instrument is connected to the PC, so it can be used to examine data that was recorded elsewhere and sent to the user as a file.
