Report Generation Pc Application - Triax 2015 User Manual

7.0 Report Generation Application
The Triax2015 system is supplied with a Windows compatible reporting application. This
application can be used to upload drop test results and impact wave forms to a personal
computer. The application allows the operator to generate reports of the drop test in both
table and graph formats, and to enter comments describing the drop tests. The drop tests
can also be saved to the computer's file system, allowing archival storage of test results.
7.1 Installation
The application is provided in the USERDOCS folder located on the Memory Card
supplied with the Triax 2015. It is suggested that this folder be copied to the user's PC,
and an archival copy also be created.
Install the Triax2015 host application on a Windows compatible platform by running the
SETUP.EXE program supplied in the \USERDOCS\HOST folder. The setup program
will ask questions to properly install the software. If the setup program indicates that a
file on the computer is newer than a file about to be installed by setup, click the setup
option to keep the existing file on the computer.
The application program is provided as part of the Triax 2015 system and may be
installed on as many computers as the operator desires.
7.1 Installation Error Messages
NOTE: When installing the software on some computers several warning and error
messages may appear. The first error message will warn the user that a file about to be
copied is older than the file existing on the computer. Select the option to keep the
existing file. Next, an error message may appear indicating an error has occurred and will
prompt for Cancel, Retry or Ignore. Select the Ignore option and when prompted if you
are sure you want to ignore this error select YES. For each of the next errors select the
Ignore option. Despite these error messages the software will install correctly.
7.2 Uploading Test Results
All drop test results are stored on the Triax 2015 memory card, in one of ten available
folders (root plus 9 folders.) To start remove the Memory Card from the Triax 2015 and
insert it into a memory card reader connected to the PC. Note that as some computer's
feature internal card readers one is not included with the Triax 2015 system. To use a
computer not equipped with a card reader many low cost (less than US$20) models are
available from local computer stores.
Before starting the Triax 2015 application insert the memory card in the computer's
memory card reader. Start the Triax2015 application and select the Memory Card top
