How to Transfer Test Templates to the Microlog
Test template files have a descriptive filename and a .ccs filename extension. These
test template files must be transferred from your host computer to the Microlog for
spindle testing use.
Files may be copied from the host computer to the Microlog’s Internal Disk drive using
the Spindle Test Installer (Start – Programs – SKF – Microlog – Machine Tools – Spindle
Test Installer). This will install both the Spindle Test Module and any Template files
onto the unit. It should be noted that the unit should come with these files pre-installed
and that re-installing them may take several minutes.
How to Perform a Survey
After transferring your test templates to the Microlog, you are ready to perform your
before-and-after conformance tests.
Charge the Microlog’s battery for three to five hours prior to use.
Performing a Survey
To perform a conformance test:
• As specified in the test template’s measurement settings, connect the appropriate
sensor to the Microlog’s CH1 connector.
• Press the red power button to turn the Microlog on. The SKF title screen initially
displays, showing your unit’s installed modules and firmware version number.
After a few seconds, the Microlog automatically displays its Home screen showing
the available operating modes.
