Import Tester Data
The Import Tester Data tool is located on the Main Page. NetDoc™ works with all testers and
accepts test results in CSV file format. When a CSV file is imported, NetDoc™ stores all of the
information in its appropriate location, as designated by the importing user.
Although importing tester results is performed completely through the Import Tester Data Main
Page link, reviewing a cable's test data is accomplished through the cable end by selecting
View Tester Data. When importing test results, you may save both a Profile Map (optional)
and a Set Name (required).
• Profile Map : A saved profile saves all of your formatted column headers when importing
the test results. The next time you import data from the same formatted tester, the
previously-saved profile can be selected. This eliminates the need to rebuild column
headers and keep them intact during the import process.
•
Set Name : The saved set name names and saves specific data imported. When a cable is
selected for referencing of test results, the user will be prompted for the set name to bring
up the corresponding results.
The unique feature about the Import Tester Data tool is that what is imported is completely
definable by the user.
Example: The tester may have hundreds of columns of information, but keeping the
test results in NetDoc™ may only require five columns of pertinent
information. This flexibility lets you quickly gain access not only to test
results, but to the relevant information within those results that are specific
to your documentation purposes.
Note: You should save and maintain all test results in their original format for future need.
Using the application’s capability, you can modify the amount of information needed for
quick reference, however, you should always save the original formatted results in case
they are ever needed.
