For each new measurement task create a new folder with the standard Windows
functions. This folder may be located only on the local computer system and not in
the network.
When a new measurement task is created, a new folder will be set up
automatically for the measurement data and a measurement file (.afg) created.
This file contains information on the measurement task, the measurement systems
involved and a list of the measurements carried out.
For every new measurement, the software generates a new folder (in the
measurement task folder). This folder has the name of the current measurement
and is numbered serially by the software. It contains the data record of the
measurement systems involved. Once a file exceeds a certain size, it is divided.
Reading in data after a measurement
The measurement data in the PM GrindControl software can only be viewed if the
originally created data structure has not been changed.
The file for the measurement task (.afg) and its folder must be stored in the same
folder.
5.3.1 File Endings
The PM GrindControl software uses the following file endings:
File ending Meaning
.mms measurement system file
.tvl temperature and voltage logfile

These files are in the measurement task folder and may not be deleted or
processed.
