8.6  Database (Datab.) 
Available in Quality Control and Advanced Analysis. 
The Quality Control and Advanced Analysis versions feature a tool database where you can create 
setups to match different tools you measure frequently. It allows you to organise as well as measure data 
for each tool. 
Open the Datab. menu block and a pop-up menu appears with the following 
options:

8.6.1  New Tool 
1.  Select 1. New Tool (highlight it and press ‘Enter’ or quick-select it on the 
numeric keypad) and a pop-up dialog box appears with the text “Specify 
new tool, max. 20 characters”. 
2.  Use the numeric keypad to enter the ID of the new tool. The ‘Shift’ button 
gives access to letters.  
3.  When finished, press ‘Enter’. Another pop-up dialog box flashes with the 
text “Copying setup to (the new tool’s ID)”. 
 
The ACTA 3000 copies all the settings of the current tool to the new tool you have created 
and will then automatically select and display the new tool. Note how the tool ID at the top 
of the screen has changed to the new tool ID. All measurements now made will be linked 
to the new tool.
