This process is only available for SuperM.O.L.E.™ Gold Profilers. |
The Download Data workflow:
1) | Start the software by double clicking on the program icon. |
2) | Connect the M.O.L.E. Profiler to the computer. Refer to the Communications Setup topic for your specific M.O.L.E. Profiler for more information. |
3) | Set an Environment related for the type of experiment that is being performed. Either open an existing Environment Folder or create a new one. |
If the desired Environment is not displayed on the Environment Sidebar, the user can enable it from the Preferences dialog. File Menu>Preferences>Misc Tab. |
4) | Select the New (Start) button ![]() |
5) | On the Start dialog box, click the Download Data command button and the workflow wizard appears. |
When navigating through the wizard, the step list on the left uses a color key to inform the user of the current step, steps that have been completed and remaining steps.

6) | Select the desired instrument from the dialog box to make active. If a M.O.L.E. Profiler has already been selected during a different process, the software automatically selects the M.O.L.E. Profiler connected to the COM Port previously used. |
If the software does not detect a M.O.L.E. thermal profiler, using the communication cable connect it to the computer and click the Scan for Instruments command button to search again. M.O.L.E.® MAP software allows multiple instruments to be connected to a computer at one time. Selecting the Scan for Instruments command button will detect all instruments and display them in the dialog box. If no instrument is detected the software displays all of the Demonstration thermal profilers to select from. |
7) | Click the Next command button. |
8) | Select the desired data run and then click the Finish command button to complete the wizard and read the data run from the M.O.L.E. Profiler. |
9) | When the data run has been downloaded, the software prompts the user to specify a file name (*.XMG). |
If a data run (*.XMG) is saved in a different Environment Folder other than the currently selected, the software automatically activates the new Environment Folder. This process does not delete any data run files in the previously set Environment Folder and can be quickly accessed using the Recent Environment Folders on the File menu. |
