Logging Your Readings
TeachView can keep a record of your activities as you use the teaching wafer to check various
pieces of equipment. TeachView keeps the record in a log file. You can specify the log file path
(see
“Changing the Log File,” on page 3.15
). The log file contains the following information for
each entry:
•
Date and Time.
The date and time of the log file entry.
•
Target configuration file.
Path name for the currently selected target configuration
“Finding a Target,” on page 3.3

•
X, Y, and Z readings.
Measurements for the X, Y, and Z coordinates of the target.
•
X, Y, and Z Tolerances.
The user-specified tolerance for each coordinate
“Setting the Target Criteria,” on page 3.10
•
Z target value.
The user-specified target value for the Z measurement, the height of
the teaching wafer above the target (see
“Setting the Target Criteria,” on page 3.10
•
Tolerance met.
Whether the coordinate measurements were within tolerances.
•
Z target ignored.
Whether the Z value is ignored in deciding if the current readings
are within tolerance (see
“Setting the Target Criteria,” on page 3.10
).
•
Temperature.
The current operating temperature of the teaching wafer in °C (see
“Monitoring the Operating Temperature,” on page 3.16
•
Battery.
The percentage of time remaining before the battery must be recharged (see
“Using the Rechargeable Battery,” on page 3.17
•
Serial number.
The serial number of the teaching wafer.
