Chapter 5: Single Module Data Viewer Program

Overview

The Single Module Data Viewer Program is used to view, organize, and print bump

test and calibration records that were created by the SDM-E2 while used in the

standalone configuration. It can also be used to export these records from its

database for use in other programs. This chapter describes how to use the Single

Module Data Viewer Program.

Launching the Single Module Data Viewer

Program

1. Click

Start

on the Windows

Icon Tray, then select

Programs/Single Module

Data Viewer

NOTE:

If you are starting the software for the first time, a message window
appears informing you that a database has been created. If this occurs,
click

2. The Single Module Data Viewer program is launched and the data viewing

window appears.
