Information about the processing company, the media owner and the media can be entered in the data boxes
on the main
screen. This information is stored in the database together with the media destruction information when the media destruction
is completed.
It is possible to interrogate the database to retrieve the destruction information record. This record or a number of records can
be printed out using a printer attached to the computer including network printers.
7.1 Logger Operation
Starting the Logger
To start the logger double click on the program icon or select the program from the programs list and click on the
program title.
The first time the program is started the Media Processed
box will be empty. This is because the
database contains no
records.
7.2 Connecting to a Machine
1.
Plug one end of the USB lead into the VSSP Degausser / Crusher machine.
2.
Plug the other end of the USB lead into a USB port on the computer that the VSSP Logger program is running
on.
3.
Turn the Degausser / Crusher machine on.
NOTE:
If this is the first time this machine has been connected to this computer, there may be a delay as the USB
drivers are installed. There may also be various dialog boxes displayed to the user whilst the USB driver install is being
carried out and the user may have to confirm that the driver installation should proceed. The USB
interface is an FTDI
device and there
may be references to the FTDI driver.
4.
If you are not clear on the driver install process, get a member of your IT support team to help you.
5.
When the FTDI USB driver has installed, click the 'Find Machine' button on the VSSP Logger main screen. This
will cause the logger to look for a VSSP machine.
Also the Degausser/Crusher machine details will be blank. This is because the logger is not connected to a machine yet
