Starting Steering Tool Program
There are three ways to start the Eclipse Steering Tool program:
¾ Double-click on the Steering Tool icon
on the desktop.
¾ Use the Start button and select Start | Programs | Steering Tool |
Steering Tool.
¾ From Windows Explorer, click on the SteeringTool.exe file in the C:\Program Files\Digital Control
Incorporated\Steering Tool folder, or the folder you have designated for the storage location.
After you start up the program, you will see the main application window (see below). This window is also
generated from within the program by using the File | New command on the menu bar.
The Steering Tool software displays detailed information about the bore in a rod-by-rod tabular format. It
also shows a two-dimensional Profile plot of the bore and a bird’s-eye view of left/right deviation. The
main features and information areas are identified on the picture of the main application window shown
below, and then they are described in this subsection.
