Data-Tracker PLUS and Data-Viewer PLUS Software User s Guide Version 1.1

Data-Tracker PLUS and Data-Viewer PLUS User s Guide Overview Data-Tracker PLUS is a software program designed and developed to interface with various scale devices to collect the weight data and status of the scale attached to the device. Data-Tracker PLUS stores the information in a database format and allows the user to easily record, archive, and retrieve the data collected. Data-Viewer PLUS software allows the user to search the database from a remote location and produce reports based on the search results. Using a standard Windows-like user interface, both Data-Tracker PLUS and Data- Viewer PLUS are easy to use and make the most out of your Windows operating system. This includes the ability to produce grid-style database query tables and customizable reports based on the queries. Users may also choose to export the query results to software such as Excel. The Auto-Hide feature walks the user through the creation of a record, from assigning a time and date stamp and automatically generating a ticket number, to recording the inbound weight of the truck. To finish the record, the user simply chooses from the convenient drop down lists displaying the Customers and Trucking Companies which have an inbound weight, but not an outbound weight. Once these are chosen, Data-Tracker PLUS retrieves the record for the truck from the database. An outbound weight can then be recorded and the completed record is written to the database. At this point, the Bill of Lading is automatically generated to be reviewed by the user; one click to print and the transaction is complete. Data-Viewer PLUS has the functionality to browse local databases or to download the database if the user is at a remote location. Using Data-Viewer PLUS, the user can perform queries, create standard reports or customize the reports to show the company s information and logo. To use existing Point of Sale Printers, such as the Epson TM-U590, Data-Tracker PLUS has a setup page that allows the user to customize the fields to print on the tickets they already have with the printer they are currently using. Data-Tracker PLUS and Data-Viewer PLUS are customizable to the user s needs, including interfacing with third party input/output devices such as wireless barcode scanners and multiple printer types. A backup service is available to assure the user that their database is safe and can be retrieved if necessary.

Data-Tracker PLUS General Settings Page Image 6 Explanation of Functionality for General Settings Company Information: These four lines can be set by the user to the company s information. Click the Save Settings button to write this information to the database. Data-Tracker PLUS needs to be restarted for the changes to take effect. Company Logo: Using the General Settings page, the user can set a path for the company s logo. For example: The path C:\MyLogo\CompanyLogo.bmp would be valid. 137W x 102H pixels is recommended. Click the Save Settings button to write this information to the database. Data-Tracker PLUS needs to be restarted for the changes to take effect. Com Settings: This is required at setup. These settings will determine the Com Port and Baud Rate to receive data from the scale device. For example, if the data is being sent out the serial port on the scale device it will come into the computer running Data-Tracker PLUS using an existing serial port (DB-9) or it will be attached to a serial to USB converter. If the data goes to an existing serial port this port will have a Com designation assigned to it by the computer, ex. COM1, COM2, etc. If the data coming from the scale device goes through a serial to USB converter, a virtual port will be assigned to the Virtual Com Port and will be designated COM1, COM2, etc. Whichever is the case, Page 5

Explanation of Functionality for General Settings (continued) the com port must be set to the same in Data-Tracker PLUS for information from the scale device to be received. The Baud rate is determined by the baud rate setting on the scale device. The baud rate must be set in Data-Tracker PLUS to the same value as the value of the scale device. These values will be written to the database once the Save Settings button is clicked. Data-Tracker PLUS needs to be restarted for the changes to take effect. Ticket Number: This gives the user the ability to set/reset the ticket number to the desired value. This value will be available for use once the Save Settings button is clicked. Select Vendor: This is required at setup. The vendor is the company whose scale device is being used. The Save Settings button must be clicked to write the choice of vendor to the database. Data-Tracker PLUS needs to be restarted for the setting to take effect. Video Setup: This is required at setup if Data-Tracker PLUS is using a video feed from one or more cameras. Username, Password and Path (IP address) are the same as chosen during the setup of the camera(s). The Save Cam button must be clicked to write the choice of Path, Username and Password to the database. Data-Tracker PLUS needs to be restarted for the setting to take effect. Enter Truck Records: This allows the user to manually enter a truck record into the database in an after the fact manner.

The user may insert some text that would be similar to what they would expect to see when actual tickets are being created to get an idea of the look and spacing requirements for the ticket. 13. The Vertical Line Spaces represent the number of lines or carriage returns between the line being set and the line that will follow. 14. By checking the Set Print Order check box the user can set the order in which the lines (items) are to be printed. After this is checked each line that the user wishes to print will require a number 1 through 12 to tell Data-Tracker PLUS which item(s) to print on which line. More than one item can be printed on a single line. To accomplish this, simply set the print order of an individual item to the line number on which the item is to be printed. The items to be printed on a single line should have their Vertical Line Spacing set to zero, excepting the last item to be printed on a particular line. That item should be set to 1 or more Vertical Line Spaces to allow for the next item set in print order to be printed on the following line. The items to be printed on the same line should have successively larger Horizontal Line Spaces values starting with the leftmost item to be printed and moving to the right. 15.

The Use Image checkbox is checked to print the company s image, to the upper right hand corner of the ticket. 20. The Set Profile to Default checkbox sets the profile shown in the Choose Profile text box to the default profile. This means that when the user creates a new customer account, the profile associated with that account will be the default profile. The user can set the account associated with a particular customer account to any profile that has been created. 21. The Turn On Tool Tips checkbox will show a Tip when the mouse hovers over a control or input. This is to assist the user with the setup of a print profile. 22. There are four Default Profiles that are installed with Data-Tracker PLUS: Default With Labels, Default Without Labels, Default With Labels and Custom Print Order and Default Without Labels and Custom Print Order. These are intended to be used as examples of the four major types of profiles that can be created. These profiles cannot be altered.
