DOWNLOADING, EDITING & PRINTING DATA
Downloading Readings from the Saf-T-Log
After the checklist readings are stored to the Saf-T-Log for the current session, readings can be downloaded to the PC and a
report/s generated and/or printed. Connect the Saf-T-Log to the PC using the supplied USB cable, 'USB>PC' will be displayed
on the Saf-T-Log. The 'Saf-T-Log connect status' window will appear automatically (as seen on page 5 – Synchronisation) and
readings will start to download. The 'Add Notes and Corrective Actions' window will appear and allow you to record any
relevant additional information, print and save the data. If no additional information is required, you may simply close the
window and the file/s will be saved to the directory set up in the 'settings' window.
Editing & printing saved data
Click 'Open/Edit/Print Saved Data' to open an existing data
report in the editing window. Select the data report from
the file menu to open in the 'Add Notes and Corrective
Actions' window. Notes and/or corrective actions can be
stored as well as a footnote before saving or printing.
Click 'Print' to create a PDF document which can be printed
with suitable PDF reader software.
In the PDF viewer it is possible to open an embedded
Microsoft Excel file containing the data from the PDF file.
Click on the paper clip symbol to the left of the document
to expand the 'Attachments' section and then double click
on the Excel file name.
If your PDF reader does not allow the opening of non
PDF file attachments check the trust manager settings in
preferences and select 'Allow opening of non-PDF file
attachments with external applications'.
The data in the embedded Excel file can be analysed
and graphed but any changes will not affect the original,
secured, PDF file.

Exporting Data to Excel
The
Export Data
button creates an Excel spread sheet
containing the data from Saf-T-Log reports. The software
takes the user through selection options using the 'Next>'
button to progress through a series of steps. The data
from more than one Saf-T-Log report can be combined
into one Excel file. The first step is to select a directory
in which to look for the reports. Various options can be
used to select the reports to combine such as 'Checklist',
'User', 'Item', 'Location' or reports with dates in a specified
range. The data can be sorted by also selecting one of
the options 'Date', 'Checklist', User', 'Item', 'Location' or
'Failed readings'. The final step is to select a directory for
the saved export file.
