When USB Drive is checked , the PosiTector gage uses a
USB mass storage device class
which provides users with a simple interface to retrieve stored data in a manner similar to USB
flash drives, digital cameras and digital audio players.
USB Drive is also required to import stored measurements into PosiSoft Desktop software
(pg. 12). Once connected, any computer can view measurements stored in memory by
navigating a virtual drive labeled "PosiTector” using the included USB cable.
A formatted HTML report is viewed by selecting the "index.html" or “START_HERE.html” file
found in the root directory. Optionally, text ".txt" files located in each batch folder provide
access to measurement values. Stored datasets and graphs can be viewed or copied using
universal PC/Mac web browsers or file explorers.
When your PosiTector is first connected to your Windows PC via a USB cable, an enumeration
process is started that installs device drivers without re-booting your computer. You may see
several pop-up windows in the taskbar at the bottom right of your screen. Wait for the entire
process to be completed before proceeding.
Retrieving stored screen captures:
The last 10 screen captures stored in memory can be accessed by navigating to the “screen
capture” directory within the “PosiTector” virtual drive.
NOTE: When connected, power is supplied through the USB cable. The batteries are not used
and the body will not automatically power down. If rechargeable (NiMH) batteries are installed,
the instrument will trickle charge the batteries.
