Once the Tool Test or Tool Tests are loaded into the analyzer, the Tool Test can be selected by scanning the bar code rather than selecting the test using the menu on the Analyzer. Press the Tool Test "Soft" key (the middle key below the display) once and then press Enter. You will hear 3 short beeps and the bar code reader will be activated. This activation sequence is required as powering the reader at all times would significantly shorten the battery life. Once the bar code reader is activated pull the trigger while aiming the laser beam at the Tool bar code. After the bar code is read the appropriate Tool Test is automatically started. If the bar code scanned does not match any of the Serial Numbers in the Tool Tests, the Analyzer will display "No Tool Test Defined for xxx". After collecting the required number of readings,
press the Tool Test "Soft" key to stop the test Using the Bar Code Reader with Multiplexer
The Bar Code Reader can be used combined with the optional 4-Port Multiplexer. Amore complete description of the Multiplexer and its features are provided on page 40. This combination provides a flexible, time saving solution that reduces the potential for operator error. For users that have many Tool Tests and using multiple torque transducers, these two accessories is the ideal solution for torque testing.
Example of using the Bar Code Reader and Multiplexer.
The user enters a Tool Test that includes one of the Transducers connected to the Multiplexer. In addition they enter the Serial Number of the Tool to be tested. This Serial Number is bar coded on the Tool to be tested. This Tool Test is down- loaded to the Analyzer. Now when the Bar Code of the Tool is scanned the Analyzer automatically selects the correct transducer by using the Multiplexer and starts the appropriate Tool Test.
