SAVING
Saving data can be accomplished from two places: clicking the Save button either directly from
the main window or from the View dialog box. In either case, the application will first ask for the
name of the file to save, and then which run data to save.
A file can be saved as either an Excel workbook or comma separated text file (”.txt” or “.csv”) for-
mat. To save a file in Excel format, select either an Excel template file (ending in “.xlt”), or an Excel
workbook file (ending in “.xls”) in the “Save as type:” dropdown box. If you use the Excel template
(“.xlt”) a new Excel document will be created using that template. If you choose the Excel work-
sheet (“.xls”), you must have already selected the default Excel template in the Options dialog box .
The Excel file will be created and saved using this default template. For more information on Excel
templates see page 15.
If the file name does not include a “.xlt” or “.xls” extension, the data will be saved as a comma sepa-
rate text file (ending either “.txt” or “.csv”) of that name.
CLEARING
Pressing the Clear button erases all runs from the gauge, making all memory available for the next
sequence of runs.
Authorizing.a.Gauge
Existing XP2i Digital Test Gauges that do not have the data logger option can be upgraded for
data logger operation. The gauge can be authorized using a key provided by the local distributor
or Crystal Engineering. The key is a small file that can be emailed or provided on CD and copied
to a computer. The key is specific to a gauge’s serial number, so the key can only be used with the
gauge it was meant to authorize.
To authorize a gauge, connect the gauge to your computer, then select File > Authorize Gauge
from the main menu. This starts the Authorization Wizard—follow the on screen instructions.
