Creating, Downloading, Uploading and Archiving Tools/Files
Jobs Manager or Tool Manager
Jobs Manager/Audit Manager is designed to facilitate residual auditing with either digital wrenches or transducerized
wrenches.
Tool Manager is designed to test, verify and archive tools.
Both applications create databases on the PC for data to be archived, recalled and analyzed. The applications
communicate with other applications via .csv exports
Procedure to Launch
1.
User will launch the application on their computer.
2.
User connects instrument with supplied communication cable
3.
The communications are serial communication so user must assign a Port. The application will suggest open ports, user
selects a port.
4.
User must select Link to PC from main menu
5.
Instrument will generate a message - Waiting…
User will send Tools or Route/files to tester or wrench. Tool Manager or Jobs Manager will inform user if transfer was
successful and instrument will have a dialog bar illustrating status of download.
6.
User presses the CLR key to return to Menu.
7.
User presses the AUDIT key to start data collection
After initial setup if user continues to use the same cable and same physical port it is unlikely that the computer will
reassign the port, therefore this setup is a onetime procedure. However some computers particularly MS operating
systems often reassign ports without direction from a user, therefore occasionally the user may have to reassign a
port manually – this is a MS operating system feature with USB ports.
Tool Manager & Jobs Manager are SQL Lite databases that have been built to support the data collection. The
applications have been designed to be simple, powerful and flexible. It is “open” so MIS or engineers familiar with
database queries can retrieve tools, jobs, routes and data quickly and efficiently.
