corner of the grid, there will be an (X,Y) coordinate. Where X is an alpha column
location across the top and Y is a numeric row location down the side. Use the same
logic when choosing the lower right corner. An individual grid can be up to 999 rows
and 52 columns. If the user attempts to create a grid that is larger than the stated
boundaries, an error message box “OUT OF MEMORY“ will be displayed.
Sequential: The sequential file format can be viewed as a file as a single column of
up to 512 possible rows (readings), and a column of corresponding identifiers
associated with each individual reading. The identifier can be a combination of up to
10 numeric, alpha, or special characters listed above, while the file name can consist
of a combination of up to 20 of the same character set. Note: The identifier cannot
start or end with a special character. Once a start and end ID are entered into the
UMX-2 and the log created, the UMX-2 will automatically generate all the identifiers
within that range. If the user attempts to create a grid that is larger than the stated
boundaries, an error message box “OUT OF MEMORY“ will be displayed.
Selecting the Auto Increment Direction
The Auto Increment feature gives the user the ability to specify which direction to
advance the cursor after storing a reading.
Saving Graphics
The UMX-2 provides the user with the ability to save a snapshot of the display screen
and all the current settings of the UMX-2 with every reading, or just save the reading
only. Saving the graphics might be advantageous to the user for reporting purposes,
and additional confidence in the measurements, as a snapshot of the actual A-Scan
waveform will be recorded for every individual reading. This offers the user the ability
to review and confirm the validity of the measurements, based on the waveforms.
Additionally, enabling this feature will store all the current UMX-2 setup parameters
for each measurement.
11.3 Creating a new Grid or Sequential Log (File)
This section will go through the step to create a Grid/Log file and save it on your PC,
as follows:
