Probewell | NT Series | NTDataOne Remote

How do I retrieve the test data if I am using a handheld remote with an NT Series tester?



With the NT Series, the test data is stored in the handheld remote. It can be downloaded using NTDataOne Software

A Probewell’s USB device is included with NTDataOne software which allows you to connect the handheld remote to a PC.

NTDataOne software allows to import the stored test results from the handheld remote to a PC as a .CSV text file (comma separated value). You can then easily transfer to different data management software such as Microsoft® Excel, Microsoft® Access or you can view through a simple text editor such as Microsoft® Wordpad.

NTDataOne software comes with a Remote Manager so that you can configure all the fields, test parameters and data logging questions in the handheld remote.

The "NTDataOne Remote Download" window allows the transfer of the information stored in the remote to a PC as a .CSV (Comma Separated Value) file.
Fig. 1 Data Logging

To start downloading test results from the remote to the PC, simply click on the Download button. The operator must confirm or change the pathname and file name of the destination file.
A progression window will appear to confirm the download process. Once the download is complete, a window will appear asking the operator if he would like to delete the test results stored in the remote:

YES: All records in the remote will be deleted.

NO: Test results in remote will remain intact and all subsequent tests will be added to the end of the existing file.

The Remote Download window is separated into 2 distinct sections:

Last Download

Shows details of the last successful test results downloaded:
  1. Remote serial # from which test results was downloaded.
  2. Number of records downloaded.
  3. Time and date of download (as stored in remote).
  4. Location and name of destination file.

Current Download

Shows the status of the memory in the remote (number of files used and free memory space).

This section also indicates the status of the communication link. Two status messages can be displayed:
  1. Auto Detect: Indicates that the USB Device is connected to the PC, and recognized, but that the remote’s RJ-12 connector has not been inserted or recognized.
  2. USB Device Error: Indicates that the USB Device is either not connected to the PC or not recognized.
