SDS Template Manager
The purpose of a template is to save the user’s time by filling in some of the more generic
survey data. For example, the user could create a template for one customer, including
company name, TC type, etc; then when the survey is run using this template, this information is
already present and it won’t need to be entered for each survey run for that customer. The new
SDS Template Manager (Figure 109) allows the user to see all of the templates currently stored
on the SDS instrument, as well as any templates saved to a local computer. The Template
Manager also allows the user to create new templates and save them to a local file on a
computer or network, or to the SDS instrument.
