A new feature in GemPro enables you to automate your data collection and processing.  To set the time you would like to automatically collect your data, click the Options menu item and then click System from the drop down list.  To adjust the time settings, select Yes for Auto Connect and click the Change Time button.  (If you would like GemPro to automatically close after collecting and distributing your data, check the Terminate check box.)

 

                     

 

 

Adjust the time accordingly and remember to save the settings on the System Options window.

 

To activate the automatic collection feature it is necessary to add GemPro to the Windows’ Task Scheduler so that GemPro will launch on a daily basis within 5 minutes before and 30 minutes after the time you have set.  For simplicity, we suggest that you set the collection time in GemPro and the launch time in Scheduler to the same time each day.  For information regarding adding a new task to the Windows’ Task Scheduler, please refer to the Windows’ Help facility.

 

Unless you already have an established connection to the Internet it will be necessary to set the Windows’ Internet Options to automatically dial your default connection.  This feature can be accessed from the Connections tab in Internet Options, which can be launched from the Windows’ Control Panel.

 

 

Note:

Please note that this utility will not automatically terminate your Internet connection when the data collection process is completed. Therefore, we recommend that this feature be used in conjunction with a permanent Internet connection only.
