The optional Exporter software (catalog Item 709) assists you
in managing the cables database.We export the cable data as comma-delimited
ASCII text, suitable for any commercial database manager, spreadsheet,
or word processor for custom report generation. Each export file
contains the cable's part number, connector types, descriptive
notes, label text, and wire list. This information can be edited,
if desired, and re-imported into CableEye's database.
After the database has be used extensively with many cable edits,
additions, and deletions, voids may develop causing the database
disk file to be larger than necessary. The Repack function
elimintates voids and checks the database for consistency and
format, producing a new, smaller file.
Two individual database files created by separate CableEye systems
may be merged into a single database file with the Join
utility. Cable data collected in the field using a laptop PC may
be integrated with the base unit in your production area, engineering
lab, or maintenance department.
