5.4 Tagging and Storing Operation (Optional)
☛
Tags are entered by scanning. If you intend to use the optional Bar Code Reader (BCR), we
suggest that you read Section 9 before continuing with this tagging operation.
Tags are used as a method to label stored measurement samples for
identification. The sample data can then be printed or uploaded to X-Rite’s
QA-Master
®
software program with tags applied. Refer to the last two
pages of this Section for special features that exist when tags are used.
Individual measurements can have from 1 to 6 tags attached. There are
three tag options to select from once a tag is scanned.
Tag All - This option will only appear on the instruments display when
no measurement data is stored in the instrument. Any measurement that
is taken after "all" is selected will have the scanned tag attached.
Tag Group - This option will only appear on the instruments display
when a new group is selected that has no stored measurements. Any
measurement taken in that group after "group" is selected will have the
scanned tag attached. The first tag that is scanned under group will also
be used as the group name on the instrument.
Tag Next - This option will store the scanned tag with the next sample
that is measured.
When the stored measurement data from the instrument is uploaded to
X-Rite’s QA-Master software program, all tags that were attached will also
transfer.
To tag and store a measurement:
1) Make sure instrument is in "Storage Mode" and select "Group #" (see
Section 5.1).
2) Select "Setup #" and/or "Function"
that will be used (see Sec. 3.2 & Sec.
1.5).
3) Connect Bar Code Reader to I/O port
if not already connected, and scan
desired bar code. Refer to Section 9
to attach or if scan did not work
correctly.
