4.4.4 TEST DATA
ADCS Tools uses the engine of COMPASS for Pressure® calibration software to manage
automated testing using ADCS-601. The ADCS Tools Data File and Database structure,
protocol and features are COMPASS for Pressure feature. See the COMPASS for
Pressure User’s Manual for additional information on Data Files and the Database. The
COMPASS for Pressure manual is an on-line manual available by pressing the [?] button,
when available, in COMPASS features. It can also be accessed on the ADCS-601 system
controller in the COMPASS for Pressure program group reached using the Windows
START button , Programs.
When ADCS Tools runs a test, it logs exhaustive test related data in a Data File (*.dat). The
Data File is automatically generated and stored to a DUT dependent directory. Data Files can
be viewed as raw text in almost any text editor or spreadsheet application. Using the ADCS
Tools Report Editor (see Section 4.4.5), Data Files can be merged with report templates to
generate custom test reports.
Data Files are stored in directories based on the path options select in [Tools] , [Test Options] ,
[Data File] . The default path is C:\Program Files\COMPASS for Pressure\Data\DUT
Manufacturer\DUT SN (see Section 4.4.1.4).
Use [Data] , [Data File Viewer] to view the contents of a Data File using the ADCS Tools Data
file viewer. Select the Data File to view. Use the Data File Viewer Toolbar to select a new file to
view, print the data, hide the data grid or plot the data.
Use [Data] , [Plot Data File] to plot the contents of data files. Select the Data File to be plotted.
Use the Plot [Options] , and drop down plot type selector to modify the plot.
The data in a test Data File can also be stored in the Test Data Database. The database is in
the Microsoft Access format. This common format enables easy manipulation and integration
with other databases. Users are welcome to add fields and customize the database as
desired. However, if the fundamental structure of the database is altered, the Database Data
Viewer
will no longer work properly.
Test data is not automatically added to the Test Data Database. It can be added to the
Database by selection when a test is completed (see Section 4.4.2.2). Data from an existing
test Data File can also be added to the Database using
[Data] , [Write Data File to Database] .
To view the Test Data Database and use Database functions, select [Data] , [Database Data
Viewer] .
4.4.5 REPORT EDITOR
ADCS Tools uses the engine of COMPASS for Pressure® calibration software to manage
automated testing using ADCS-601. The ADCS Tools Report Editor is a COMPASS for
Pressure feature. See the COMPASS for Pressure User’s Manual for additional
information on the Report Editor. The COMPASS for Pressure manual is an on-line
manual available by pressing the [?] button, when available, in COMPASS features. It can
also be accessed on the ADCS-601 system controller in the COMPASS for Pressure
program group reached using the Windows START button , Programs.
The ADCS Tools Report Editor is used to generate reports from *.dat files and/or data stored
in the Test Data Database. The Report Editor provides the features to create, view and edit
reports and templates. The Report Editor is essentially a customized word processor and as
such, navigation and use is intuitive to users familiar with commonly used word processors.
During the report generation process, user defined templates are merged with Data Files to
