6.4 Cable Tests using a SystemCard
6.4.1 SystemCard and „WinkisVLF“
If the test and diagnosis system has been equipped with the logging option, the measured
data can be saved to a so-called SystemCard which has the dimensions of a conventional
credit card.
The
SystemCard can be used to store and transfer logged data (see section 6.4.3) and to
hand over predefined test parameters to the system (see section 6.4.2).
In order to format and, if required, parametrize a SystemCard and to analyze / archive the
logged measuring data, the software WinkisVLF has to be used. For detailed information
about the WinkisVLF software, please refer to its online help.
In general, a SystemCard can be used for the following purposes:
• A SystemCard can be prepared for storing measured data only (Protocol card). No
test parameters are handed over to the system. The card may also contain header
lines and footer lines for printouts (see section 6.3) which, however, are only valid for
the cable test under way.
• A SystemCard can be prepared for
parametrizing the system (Parameter card)
. In
this case, the SystemCard changes the settings of the system as specified under
WinkisVLF before. The card may also contain header lines and footer lines for printouts
(see section 6.3). Both, the parameters handed over by the SystemCard are and the
print templates are not permanently stored on the system and only valid for the cable
test under way.
• A SystemCard can be prepared for both parametrizing the system and storing the
measured data
. The parameters handed over by such a SystemCard are not
permanently stored on the system and only valid for the cable test under way. The card
may also contain header lines and footer lines for printouts as well as “print time points”
(see section 6.3).
• A SystemCard can be prepared for parametrizing the system in a way that the
parameters handed over by the SystemCard
change the device settings
permanently . The card may also contain header lines and footer lines for printouts
(see section 6.3) which are also permanently stored on the system.
Attention: This type of card cannot be used for storing measured data.
