USE OF IMPORT/EXPORT COMMANDS
The Import/Export commands are helpful for routine “maintenance” of the Blue Force Software; quite simply, they allow data to be
n
exported, filed or entered in a database and then deleted. This way, clients or tests that are no longer used can be removed to “lighten up”
the software.
Export client:
this allows all the client-related data to be saved (including the closure types and relative associated tests) in a series of
.txt
n
files
and directories, depending on the number of doors and the measuring points associated with them (with the relative impact test files).
Exported client files are organized as follows: one directory [client name] contains one file named
clientname.txt
and as many directories
[door name] as there are closure types associated with the client. For a description of the contents of the directories [door name], see the
section on the “Export door to file” command.
n
Import client:
this allows a client previously exported using the “Export client" command to be associated with a laboratory/tester (and
entered in the database). To import the client, simply open the
clientname.txt
file found in the directory [client name]created with the
“Export client” command.
Export door to file:
this allows all the door-related data to be saved (including the relative associated tests) in a series of
.txt files
and
n
directories, depending on the number measuring points associated with the door type (with the relative impact test files).
Exported closure type files are organized as follows: one directory [door name] contains one file named
doorname.txt
and as many
n
directories [measuring points] as there are measuring points associated with that closure type.
n
The directories [measuring points] contain the
testname.dat
files relating to the
associated impact tests.
