how often, at what time, and where the historical database is downloaded
from the DEFINITY system to your PC.

Note
Downloading historical data regularly and correctly is
absolutely necessary for accurately reporting DEFINITY

half-hour intervals at least twice a day, and for hour intervals
at least once a day. Be sure to carefully read “Downloading
Historical Data” on page 4-22 and “How the DEFINITY
