Typically test sequences are directly generated in the GLP2-ce or GLP2 Basic tester. To do so, the touchdisplay or a keyboard, connected to the tester, is used.
With the editor&printer software, it is also possible to edit test sequences directly on a PC.
Generating test sequences on a PC brings the advantage, that it does not influence the operator during tests. The PC-software has the same user interface as the GLP2-ce or GLP2-ce Basic. Thus, the operation is almost equal and therefore easy to understand and learn.
editor&printer is used under two different working conditions:
Offline-operation| Data transfer via USB-flash drive
By means of the editor&printer software test sequences are maintained, edited and stored on your PC. As soon as the settings are finished, the software transfers the test sequences to an USB-flash drive. As next step, the USB-drive has to be connected to the tester. The tester downloads all test sequences and automatically stores them in the internal database. Afterwards the test sequences are available like usual.
In case several identic testers are in use, one ofter another should be updated with the new test sequences to avoid having different test sequences on different testers for the same test task!
We recommend to consistently edit the test sequences on the PC and to directly transfer the updated ones to the tester.
Alternatively test sequences may still be edited in the tester. But to avoid differences to the ones in the software, the adjusted test sequences should be immediately transferred to the PC via USB-flash drive. By this, different data inventory is avoided.
Online-operation | Data exchange via network
Under perfect conditions the tester/s are part of a computer network. But a network makes only sense, if the data is stored centrally. A central storage location for all test sequences is to be defined, which can be any PC in the network. Installing a special software on the PC is not necessary.
Also the PC with the editor&printer installation is in this network. With editor&printer you manage, edit and store test sequences. The data is stored in the central storage location in the network.
In case a tester requests a test sequence, it is loaded from the central storage location in the network. This is perfect, as all testers of the same type always use the same test sequences.
Thus, the network operation gives you the perfect condition for an ISO 9001-compliant production.
Of course, the test sequence may also be edited directly in the tester, which automatically stores the changes in the central storage location afterwards. After this, the other testers and the editor&printer software have automatic access to the revised test sequence.
Printout
editor&printer is also equipped with a useful printing function.
As the testers are not only able to store test sequences but also test results on a central PC, with editor&printer you may easily search within the test results and print them in a clearly arranged report.
You can search for single tests or even entire orders. The up to 10 freely-configurable order inputs (e.g. serial nimber, typem charge, commission and more) are entered in the tester. The tester transfers the inputs with the test results to the PC and stores them there.
With editor&printer you search the corresponding test results to your search criteria. Editor&printer presents them clearly-arranged in a table.
You can see the results in total or in detail, test step per test step.
Furthermore you can either print single or all test results.
