Data Evaluation and Report Generation with ETC Software
All data, including the distributor structure, can be transferred to
the PC and evaluated with the help of ETC software. Additional
information can be entered here subsequently for the individual
measurements. After pressing the appropriate key, a report
including all measurements within a given distributor structure is
generated, or the data are exported to an Excel spreadsheet.
Note
The database is exited when the rotary selector switch is
turned. Previously selected parameters in the database
are not used for the measurement.
14.4.1 Use of Barcode Scanners and RFID Readers
Search for an Already Scanned Barcode
The search can be started from any switch setting and menu.
➭ Scan the object’s barcode.
The found barcode is displayed inversely.
➭ This value is accepted after pressing the ENTER key.
Note
A previously selected object is not taken into consider-
ation by the search.
Continued Searching in General
Regardless of whether or not an object has been found,
searching can be continued by pressing the key shown at
the left:
– Object found: Searching is continued underneath the previ-
ously selected object.
– No further object found: The entire database is searched at
all levels.
Reading In a Barcode for Editing
If the menu for alphanumeric entry is active, any value scanned by
means of a barcode or RFID reader is accepted directly.
Using a Barcode Printer (accessory)
A barcode printer allows for the following applications:
• Read-out of ID numbers as barcodes, encrypted; for quick
and convenient acquisition for periodic testing
• Print-out of repeatedly occurring designations such as test
object types encrypted as barcodes in a list, allowing them to
be read in as required for comments
