The KinAiry software has several unique modes:
•
Guided Walkthrough*
– Use this test mode to see a detailed explanation of the test process, with no data
capture or data file imports. Pictures and explanatory text guide you through the steps required by the NIST
Interim Field Test Procedure.
•
Manual Data Entry
– Use this mode to walk through the test and manually enter point coordinates. This
mode includes the same guidance as the Guided Walkthrough test mode. Data is analyzed and results are
presented on a plot.
•
Create Data Template*
– Use this test mode to create an empty KinAiry data file (in non-proprietary CSV
format) using specific test conditions. Output the empty, preconfigured file, and edit it as desired with a text
or spreadsheet editor. Reopen the file in KinAiry to view test results.
•
Import Data File
– Use this test mode to import a data file exported by your laser tracker software.
* These test modes do not handle data and do not create an error graph.

User-Selectable Test Modes
My Tracker List
Most tests performed by KinAiry require the user to select a tracker from
My Tracker List
. The list is accessible by
selecting
My Tracker List
under the
Tracker
menu or from the tracker icon on the toolbar. Use the list to store
identifying information for any tracker you wish to test. KinAiry software accesses tracker information to manage test
steps, MPE (Maximum Permissible Error) coefficients, and certification data.
