After the inspection

Note that after an inspection you must also back up the inspection data to an external storage medium. Please read the comments on data

protection and backup on Seite 15.

Data import into WinCan

When you have created a general project with a catalog by CDLab, you can import it into WinCan V8. Note that you need at least

version 8.24. You also might need an update for your WinCan USB dongle.

For the import, there is one special ﬁle called “project.xml” in the project’s root directory which is required by the WinCan data importer. When

you import the project into WinCan, a new WinCan project will be created. All of the photos and videos of the original VISIONREPORT

project will be copied. Afterwards, you can delete the VISIONREPORT project if you do not need it anymore. Please note, that you cannot

reconvert a WinCan project back into a VISIONREPORT project.

For further questions please contact WinCan support. www.cdlab.ch

Interfaces for inspection software of other companies

If you want to use another software instead of VISIONREPORT for inspections, you can connect VISIONCONTROL to a serial interface of

your computer.

For this you require a special USB-to-serial adaptor which you have to connect to one of VISIONCONTROL’s USB connectors. Please contact

your dealer for obtaining such an adaptor.

To use your inspection software e.g. WinCan with VISIONCONTROL, you have to chose the DE03 or a compatible device as a text generator.

Please contact the manufacturer of your software for further information about that. By using the serial interface it is possible to read and set the

meter counter, to control the video overlay and to create inclination protocols.

NOTE!

When a USB-to-serial adaptor is connected, video recording is currently not supported.

NOTE!

When a USB-to-serial adaptor is connected, video recording is currently not supported. Depending on the conﬁguration of your PC

you will probably need a null modem cable to connect the adaptor to the PC.
