The PTT interface program contains a Tab for Data Logging. The actual plot on the Screen is Torque vs. Time. If you
have an Angle enabled transducer the Torque and Angle data will be collected in a .csv file. The data collection begins
when you click the "Start" button and ends when you click the same button which changes to "Stop" after the data collec-
tion begins. The data is collected is available in:
C:\Program Files\Mountz\PTT Interface Program\Streaming Data Files\"operator name"
Where the "operator name" is the operator entered on the Data Logging Tab. If you use this function frequently you
probably will want to create a shortcut to this folder.
The .csv file can be opened using Excel. You can use Excel to plot this data in a variety of formats or by using other
Windows based tools of your choice. There is also an Excel Spreadsheet with a Macro as an example of Plotting Torque
and Angle. This is available on the PTT CD in the folder Excel Macro for Torque and Angle. Open this Excel file, high-
light the Torque and Angle data, click the Graphing Icon that is on the spreadsheet, the Torque and Angle will be plotted
for you. If you have your own Torque and Angle data you can just replace the example data with your own, highlight it
and click the Graphing Icon to plot it.

This Spreadsheet gives an example of Plotting Torque and Angle
Values. Simply highlight the cells containing the values of Angle and
Torque and click on the Graphing Icon above.
If you have collected Torque and Angle values, using the PTT Data
Logging Program, you can use this Template to Plot Torque and
Angle. Simply substitute your own values for those on the left.
The data is collected is available in:
C:\Program Files\Mountz\PTT Interface Program\Streaming Data
Files\”operator name”
Where the “operator name” is the operator entered on the Data
Logging Tab. If you use this function often you probably will want to
create a shortcut to this folder.
