V3
17.6. On Screen Help
Help has been provided in this software in the form of 'Tool Tips'. If you want to
know what a control button does or what a data box displays, simply move
your mouse pointer over the item in question. A multi-lingual Tool Tip will
appear after a few seconds to give you more information.
17.7. Saving Logged Data
Once a set of logged data has been uploaded from the Macro 900 Meter, it can
be saved on your PC as a Raw Data file. These files use a proprietary Palintest
format and are saved with an .amf (Macro 900 Meter file) extension.
To save the uploaded data, click the 'Save as Raw Data' button. You will be
®
asked for a file name in the normal Windows
format. The file name you choose
will automatically be given the .amf extension.
Useful Tip: Once you have saved the logged data, it is a good idea to clear the
Macro 900 Meter's memory so next time you log data, you don't get both your
old data and new data uploaded to your PC. See
Clearing the Memory
in section
8.
17.8. Retrieving Logged Data
Once a Raw Data file has been saved using the above technique, it can be
easily retrieved by clicking on the 'Open Raw Data' button. When a raw data
file is opened, it will appear exactly as uploaded data and the file name will be
displayed in the box below the Report Header box.
17.9. Exporting Data

box above the Uploaded Data column.

Exporting Text Reports
To export a text report, first fill in the boxes in the group marked Report
Header on the left of the screen. This information will be used at the beginning
of your report. Next, click on the 'Export as Text Report' button. You will be
asked to specify a file name. A .txt extension will automatically be added.
A report will be generated that consists of a cover page giving the start and end
date, time and position, the total number of readings, an analysis of the highest
and lowest readings, the variance between the highest and lowest readings, the
average readings and the GLP data. Each block of individual readings, laid out
in chronological order, follows this page.
