Using Project Manager to Modify Projects
Every Project contains a Project Settings file. Most Project settings are folder
path specifications. To configure Projects, you use the Project Manager
application to edit the Project Settings file. A Project Settings file acts like a
switchboard that directs the flow of information within a Project.
The Project Manager also allows you perform other tasks, such as editing system
wide settings and starting Series 793 applications, but its primary function is to
configure Projects.
When you set up and configure projects with Project Manager you are not
required to apply power to your station or handle station hardware—you are
simply creating files.
You can configure Projects in a variety of ways to suit your specific needs. For
instance:
• You could set up one Project to acquire all of the test data generated by a
specific operator (example: “Ken’s Project”).
• You could set up another Project to acquire all of the test data generated by
multiple operators from a specific specimen (example, “Shock Absorber
Project”).
Projects make this type of data organization easy. You can configure Projects to
organize data around specific tests, users, applications, or stations. A Project is a
custom portal to your test system.
