4.3.1 Parameter and Data Retrieval
It is a good idea to capture the stored parameters and data on a regular basis to analyze and understand the
application.
4.3.1.1.1 Parameters
Parameters for areas of the controller or the whole controller can be retrieved in separate files. The Export button
is explained above for retrieving parameters from the areas of the controller. This section explains a complete
backup of the controller’s parameters.
Click on the Setup>Full Backup / Restore menu from the Home screen in Alpha Toolbox.
Click on the Backup menu. The params.json file is immediately transferred to the computer. Be sure to understand
the browser setting to know where the file is saved.
4.3.1.1.2 Fastening Cycle Data
The Expert Alpha controller stores resultant audit data for 30,000 fastening cycles on a first in/ first out basis.
Click on the Full Backup / Restore menu from the Home screen in Alpha.
Click on the Rundowns menu. The rundowns.csv file is immediately transferred to the computer. Be sure to
understand the browser setting to know where the file is saved.
The CSV file has headings for all of the columns that are obvious with the exception of column A “ID” and column
G “SOC”.
The ID column header will have numbers in front of the words ID. The syntax is n:Next_Rundown_Number[space]
ID. The column contains unique numbers for each fastening cycle. When the controller is defaulted this value
starts at 0 and runs to 4 billion before starting at 0 again.
