The Initial Customisation tab allows you to print your
company name on the printout as well as specify
identification headings for the components. Up to eight
different headings can be used. Once this has been set, it is
remembered by the system and need not be changed again.
The Further Print Options allows you to enter the
name of the customer and fill in the component
identifications against the headings that have already
been chosen.
You can select to print results for
between 1 and 4 components on each sheet. When you
select more than one component per sheet, you are able
to scale the reference circle for each component. This
scales the trace for each component on the printout and
makes it easier to see individual traces (each trace is in
a different colour but when they are superimposed it is
still difficult to distinguish individual features without
using the scaling option).
If you are using the Preview option, when you press OK the preview will appear on the
screen. If it is not as you wish, you can press Close and go back and change some
selections. If it is correct you should press Print. If you have chosen to show more than
one component on each sheet then the printout will go into a buffer and you will be told
how many more components must be sent to the printer before the sheet is physically
printed. Remember, it is not sufficient to only view the preview on the screen; you
must press the Print button or the results will not be sent to the printer or print buffer.
If you are not using Preview then when you press the OK button the results will be sent
directly to the printer or print buffer.
Saving Results
When you have obtained a trace and selected all
appropriate options and settings, you can save the results
to a disc. You can press the disc icon (third from the left)
or you can choose Save or Save As from the File menu.
Beware if you use the Save option, any previously saved
results with the same name may be overwritten. The disc
icon is set to mimic the Save As function and will
prompt you for a name before saving. When you recall
the results from disc, any reference axis, data omission
area(s) and/or identifications will also be recalled and you
will be able to switch the view to change the display as
you could when the trace was first taken. If you click on
Save Results in Excel format you will be able to select or deselect this option. When
it is selected, the roundness results, i.e. those that appear in the box at the left side of the
