In the navigation tree for the ibaQDR data store, under “Measuring locations” you can make settings for saving the temporary measuring location data stores.

There is a default path preconfigured as base directory for these temporary files: c:\iba\QDR\EntryCoils. For each configured measurement location a corresponding sub-folder will be created automatically. If needed, you may modify the base directory path and make settings for the cleanup strategy.

When one of the set time or memory limits is reached, the oldest files are discarded or overwritten.

Maximum number of tracked parts to keep in memory per measuring location

For very special requirements, it may be necessary to make additional settings to ensure that on lines with a changing strip travel distance all relevant temporary measuring location files are still provided after a changeover.

Use this option to control the handling of “old” tracked part files.

In the lower section of the dialog is a signal table, which shows all available signals with those already assigned to a measuring location highlighted in green. The assigned measuring location and the profile used are also displayed.

The export and import functions in this table are very useful and can be performed simply by right-clicking in the table.

The exported signal and measuring location list is a text file, which you can easily edit in a text editor or spreadsheet program (e.g. MS Excel). Particularly in large systems with a high number of signals and measuring locations, this enables you to make editing of the signal assignments more efficient. You can then re-import the list.

The document is also very well suited for documentation of the ibaQDR system and could be provided to the quality department if required.
