When
USB Drive
is checked , the
PosiTector
gage uses a USB mass
storage device class which provides users with a simple interface to
retrieve stored data in a manner similar to USB flash drives, digital cam-
eras and digital audio players.
USB Drive
is also required to import stored measurements into PosiSoft
Desktop software (pg.28). Once connected, any computer can view meas-
urements stored in memory by navigating a virtual drive labeled
"PosiTector” using the included USB cable.
A formatted HTML report is viewed by selecting the "index.html" or
“START_HERE.html” file found in the root directory. Optionally, text ".txt"
files located in each batch folder provide access to measurement values.
Stored datasets and graphs can be viewed or copied using universal
PC/Mac web browsers or file explorers.
When your
PosiTector
is first connected to your Windows PC via a USB
cable, an enumeration process is started that installs device drivers with-
out re-booting your computer. You may see several pop-up windows in the
taskbar at the bottom right of your screen. Wait for the entire process to be
completed before proceeding.
Serial Streaming via USB
(Advanced models only, serial numbers 784000 and greater)
Advanced gage bodies have the ability to serial stream live readings from
the USB port
The following document links will help operators use this feature:

Retrieving stored screen captures:
The last 10 screen captures stored in memory can be accessed by navi-
gating to the “screen capture” directory within the “PosiTector” virtual drive.
NOTE
: When connected, power is supplied through the USB cable. The
batteries are not used and the body will not automatically power down. If
rechargeable (NiMH) batteries are installed, the instrument will trickle
charge the batteries.
