Importing Data with SpecWare Pro Software
(requires v. 9.6 or greater)
Pup data can be imported into Specware Pro. From the
main Specware screen, click the Retriever & Pups icon
from the toolbar. This will bring up the
Retriever & Pups
screen (fig. 11).
There are 3 possible data sources
1. PC connected directly to Retriever
Connect the PC direct-connection cable to the “PC” port on the
Retriever. The COM port is selected in the File - Preferences -
Communication tab - Direct Connection field (fig. 12).
Click the
Retriever
button (fig. 11) to download the data
received from the Pups. The
Erase records from Retriever
option is recommended to speed up download times
2. Transferring data from USB flash drive
Click the
Log Files
button (fig. 11) to browse for the data files
saved to a flash drive (see p. 26). You must browse to the
directory to pull data from. The default is the Specware
directory, not the flash drive.
