Downloading a baton

1. Plug in the uploader. While the program is looking for it, the box in the bottom left corner of the window is red and the message at the bottom says Looking for Uploader.... The picture on the left shows the uploader being plugged in. The program finds the uploader by itself; you do not have to choose anything.
2. Place the baton on the uploader. The message says Place baton on uploader... and the box flashes purple and yellow while the program waits for the baton.
3. Wait. The message changes to Found baton ... (the box is green) and then shows what is being done: Setting date and time ..., Downloading data .... The bar at the bottom shows how far the download is. Keep the baton on the uploader.
4. Remove the baton when the message says Please remove the baton ....
5. The report is updated with the new data. If the baton had points the program has not seen before, they are given the names Point 01, Point 02, ... and, if needed, a new site is made.

The list called To Do on the left shows what the program does to each baton, and the Baton Info below it shows the number and clock of the baton that is on the uploader. See The left panel.

The message at the bottom can say more than Please remove the baton ... when the baton needs attention, for example that its clock has stopped or that it is an old version that should be replaced. See When a download has a problem.

If the uploader is not found or the download does not finish, see Problems.

After the download

The report then shows what was downloaded. In Detailed and Overview: if the dates chosen on the left do not cover its clockings, they change to the hours the clockings cover, and the site to the one most of them are at. On any other screen (another report, the help, Settings) the By Download report of the new download is shown.
