6.3.3. If it is necessary to completely replace the
battery, turn off the power of, open the battery cover of the
electronic unit and remove the used PP3 battery.
Insert a freshly charged battery, observing the polarity
of the contacts, and close the battery cover of metal stress
indicator.
6.4. Working with metal stress indicator memory
6.4.1. The stress indicator is equipped with a memory
card to quickly save the results of a large number of
measurements. The measured values of the output signal of the
Sensor are sequentially recorded in the electronic memory of
the stress indicator.
6.4.2. To record the measured signal reading displayed
on the screen into the stress indicator memory is switched on
and off once (see Fig.3.3). In the process of recording the
stress indicator readings in electronic memory, the stress
indicator screen displays the inscription
Writing
.
The measured data is saved to the built-in memory card
of the IN-01m metal mechanical stress indicator in files of the
DDMMYYYY type CSV, where DD is the current day, MM is
the month, and YYYY is the year.
The CSV (Comma Separated Values) format is a
common standard supported by MS Excel and compatible with
any text editor.

6.4.3. Transfer of data recorded in the stress indicator's
electronic memory to a personal computer.
6.4.3.1. Turn on IN-01m the metal stress indicator
power with button 5.
6.4.3.2. Turn on the personal computer and launch the
pre-installed software application IN-01m.
6.4.3.3. Insert a connecting cable into the mini-USB
connector of the stress indicator's electronic unit and connect it
to the corresponding connector of the personal computer. A
message appears on the stress indicator screen about
establishing a communication channel with the personal
computer via the mini-USB connector of the electronic unit of
the stress indicator (Fig.6.3).

application, open the
File
menu and select
Receive data
. After
receiving information from the electronic memory of the stress
indicator, a graph of the distribution of the measured values of
the Sensor in the Cartesian coordinate system appears on the
screen of the personal computer.
6.4.3.5. To select the type of graphical display of the
measured values of the stress indicator and to save them on a
personal computer, use the corresponding menu items of the
IN-01m CONNECT software application, which are described
in the program's user guide.
6.4.3.6. To stop transmitting data from the metal
mechanical stress indicator to the personal computer,
