Installing the program on a PC
To create test objects and analyse measurements,
you must install the supplied software on your
computer.
To install the software on a computer, the following
system requirements must be satisfied, as a
minimum:
Microsoft Windows
®
7 or Windows
®
Vista
operating system
SQL server
®
2008 Express
Microsoft Windows
®
Mobile Device Center
1 GB free hard drive
Min. 1 GB RAM
Attention!
Data from older program versions may be
lost when a new version is installed.
Back up all existing data before
installation.
16
Back up all data from older program versions
that you do not want to delete.
Close all other applications on your computer.
To install the software on your computer you must
have full administrator rights.
Insert the supplied DVD into your computer's
DVD drive.
The installation program should start automatically.
If the autostart function has been deactivated, start
the installation program manually. To do so proceed
as follows:
Find the "SETUPW.exe" installation file on the
DVD.
Double-click on the installation file.
The installation program starts.
Follow the on-screen prompts to complete the
installation.
A "GESTRA" folder is created during installation in
which the program files are stored.
A program icon is shown on the desktop.
Establishing test objects on the computer
To save the readings in a data base you have to
create a data base on your computer. Then you
have to specify the individual test objects. The
software required for this is part of the supply and
stored on the DVD.
To start the software double-click on the
program icon.
For more information on how to specify test objects
see the operating manual for the software program.
Specify the test objects as described in the
operating manual for the software program.
Download the test jobs to the data collector as
described on page 17.
Establishing test objects on the data collector
You can also enter test objects directly in the data
collector. After the test you can upload these test
objects to the computer.
In order to do so run and save the test as "Test
Measurement". To make it easier to relate the test
to the test object later on the computer, you should
note the storage number of the respective test
measurement.
This procedure is more time consuming than using
pre-defined test objects. You should therefore run
test measurements only in exceptional cases.
We recommend test measurements only in the
following cases:
To add steam traps that are not yet defined in
the data base
To repeat tests several times for a more
accurate identification of a faulty trap
Perform a test measurement as described on
page 26.
Note all necessary data of the test object.
For a template go to
Program/Gestra/TRAPtest_VKP40/Doc and click on
the file DATA AQUISITON on your computer.
After the test tap the button "Save".
Write down the indicated storage number.
