Brookfield PFT Powder Flow Tester Operating Instructions Manual page 51

IV.9 Setup Page
The setup page allows the user to change the measurement units and select from a list of Advanced
Options. Advanced Options allow the user to display a Custom Tests option under the Test tab.
For a Custom Test method, set Pass/Fail limits on the Flow Function graph, display a Flow Index
for a defined Major Principle Consolidation Stress under a Flow test, adjust the Arching Flow
Factor for the Hopper Design, and choose a Separate Density File (rather than a Wall Friction
file) for a Hopper Half Angle calculation.
The Data File Management icon allows the user to import and export data stress files, export to
Excel and backup and archive data.
Data can be exported or imported by clicking the appropriate icons at the top of the Analysis tab
('arrow leaving page' icon for export and 'arrow entering page' for import).
Data files can be exported to either an Excel format or in an External Stress Data file format,
called ".ADTG", which utilizes the Access Database.
The ".ADTG" file format can be used to transfer data files from one computer to another, both
computers must run Powder Flow Pro software:
1) Export the data file as an External file (*.ADTG).
2) Move the resulting External file to the other computer.
3) Import the file using that computer's Powder Flow Pro software.
