Database Maintenance
To make the information recorded during a Session more valuable, the Sessions database should be
populated with relevant information regarding the people who will be using the instrument and the
equipment that they will be working on. Taking the time to enter this information will provide additional
fields to sort by after the data has been collected in a session.
Maintain Equipment Types
Many of the common types of heat treating equipment have been added into the PGA 3510 as default
entries. This screen allows irrelevant items to be removed and additional items to be added.
Maintain Equipment
Each organization has different names for the various pieces of equipment in their shop. Those names
should be entered here. Each name needs to be associated with a specific Equipment Type, so that
database should be populated first.
Maintain Sessions
The PGA 3510 is designed to delete the oldest files first in the event that the storage capacity has been
exceeded. It is also possible to delete old files manually by entering a date on this screen. All files that
were made before that date would be permanently deleted. It is important to note that after the data has
been downloaded to a computer, a copy is stored on that computer. The data will always be available on
the computer even if it has been deleted from the screen.
Maintain Users
The names of all potential users can be entered here. Names can be added and deleted as required.
Compact Database
Periodic database compaction will help make data storage more efficient and allow more data to be
stored before it is automatically deleted. Nothing is deleted or lost when this button is pressed, and the
only result will be a performance improvement.
