Sending Measurement Data from the Lasercheck Controller
Scroll to “FILES: >Send” on the control box with the scroll (>) push button and push the Select push button. The
LCD displays the following screen:
All data files are being transferred to the computer while this is displayed.
The receive operation in the windows software should finish automatically when all of the data is received from
the controller. The status message in the windows software will show this by displaying “Finished Receiving”. If
it does not, click the “Done” button in the windows software to finish and close the data text file.
When all files have been transferred, the control box will return to the File System Window. The files received in
the PC are by default in the C:\Program Files\Lasercheck directory created on your computer, and these data
files end in “.txt”.
Receive Command
This selection transfers setup files from a PC via the serial null modem cable.
File Naming
The Lasercheck installation software creates a directory with factory setup and calibration files. The default
directory location is C:\Program Files\Lasercheck\ Control Box\Setup Files.
Each setup file must include a line similar the following:
RECEIVE_NAME=
filename.set
This line determines what the name of the file will be displayed on the controller LCD screen. Examples are in
the C:\Program Files\Lasercheck\ Control Box\Setup Files directory. For a detailed discussion of creation of
setup files please see the “Appendix - Calibration Procedures” later in this manual.
