How to Transfer Test Templates to the Microlog
Test template files have a descriptive filename and a

filename extension. These
test template files must be transferred from your host computer to the Microlog for
spindle testing use.
Files may be copied from the host computer to the Microlog’s
Internal Disk
drive using
the Spindle Test Installer (Start – Programs – SKF – Microlog – Machine Tools – Spindle
Test Installer). This will install both the Spindle Test Module and any Template files
onto the unit. It should be noted that the unit should come with these files pre-installed
and that re-installing them may take several minutes.
