7. DAtA ExPoRt softwARE

The data export software is in two parts:

ICT (Installation Controller Transfer), used to configure the parameters of the measurements, prepare the tree in memory, and
export the recorded measurements in an Excel file.

Dataview, used to recover the measurements from the Excel file and present them in the form of a report conforming to the
standard in your country.

C.A 6116

INSTALLATION TESTER

When the device is in communication with a PC, it
does nothing else and its keys are inactive. It then
displays the following message:

Start by installing the driver and the software pro-
grams using the CD provided with the C.A. 6116.

Then connect the device to the PC using the USB cord
provided with the C.A. 6116 and removing the cover
that protects the USB port of the device.

The data rate is 115,200 Bauds.

To use the data export software, refer to the help functions of the software.

Once the USB cord has been disconnected, the device restarts after a few seconds.

SET UP

OFF

Then, turn the device on by turning the switch to
any setting.
