Programming a Test and
Automatic Test Selection after Scanning
In order to make the process of data entry more convenient and error-free, a barcode
scanner can be connected to Sartocheck
allowed to use official Sartocheck accessories (barcode scanner type 26288---BS) to
operate the unit.
The barcode scanner can be connected to the port "Serial Port MU" on the backside
of the unit. The scanner will be immediately recognized and is ready to use ("plug &
play").
Before using the barcode scanner, this function must be activated in the
Service Menu:
®
Principally, the Sartocheck 4 plus Bag tester barcode scanner is able to read all
1D-barcodes and 2D-data matrix codes. During the process of programming a test,
the scanner can be used to enter the data into the respective comment fields. For this
purpose, it is recommended to create a sheet with all the required coded information
(e.g. company name, name of the building etc.). This will increase the speed of creat-
ing test programs.
Use of the barcode scanner allows automatic program selection after scanning.
This feature can be activated | deactivated separately (compare Fig. 7-91). This means
®
that Sartocheck 4 plus searches within the program database for information which
matches the information coded in the barcode. After scanning, the unit displays only
those test program(s) suitable for the scanned filter cartridge. When numerous test
programs are defined in the program database, the process of finding the suitable
test is improved and mistakes are avoided.
®
Sartocheck 4 plus Bag tester allows you to either search within a single comment
field or to use all fields to finding the correct information. (compare Fig. 7-91).
The following procedure is recommended:
1. Defining a test program in the program database: it is recommended to use the
barcodes of the filter cartridges during test programming and to enter the coded
information into the dedicated comment field by scanning the barcode. Please
note that the cursor has to be in the correct comment field before the cartridge is
scanned. Following this procedure, more than one test program for each cartridge
type can also be programmed (e.g. separate programs for BP and Diff Test).
2. Starting a test:To start a suitable test for a specific filter cartridge, please choose
"Test Start" (F1) from the main menu. Then scan the barcode of the filter car-
tridge (exactly the barcode which was us to for program the test). After the pro-
cess of scanning, Sartocheck
program(s). If only a single test program can be found, Sartocheck
tester will automatically select that one.
3. Continue according to the standard way of starting a test.
