7 - Saving Cable Data in the Database

Next Topic | Previous Topic | TOC

After measuring a good cable, you may wish to annotate it with descriptive notes and save it in the database using a name or part number of your choice. Later, you may reload the cable, or search the database for a match to the cable's wiring. Start

1 + | - Measure a cable using Test Cable and click on the "Test Notes" tab. Then, type in descriptive notes, part numbers, names, dates, color codes, or any other information you deem important. You may also copy notes from another cable to the clipboard and paste them here using standard Windows methods, and then edit the notes as necessary.

Click the "Test Label" tab and enter any notes that you wish to appear on a printed label. Note that the first line of these notes appears in the title block of printed reports.

 

2 + | - Click the "Save" button when you are ready to save the cable and notes in the database.



3 + | - When the "Save Test Data" appears, use up to 19 characters to name the cable. You may use spaces, dashes, and other special symbols in the name. To have CableEye automatically create a name for you based on the connectors and wiring, click "Autoname". As you type the name, the file list below shows all other cable files that begin with the characters you have typed so far. Continue typing until no other files appear, indicating that you have selected a unique name. Click "OK" to save the cable.
