Operation of TG Files

Chapter 6 Operation of TG Files 6.1 Open and Close Files 6.1.1 Open A File Start SuporUp. There are 3 ways to open a file. (1) Select File -> Open from the menu. (2) Press the hotkey Open, (3) Select + File from the FileParameter window on the right. Find the directory storing SUPOR or SyncScan instrument files from the pop-up window, and then double click the TG (thickness gauge) data set (*.tgdat) or parameter file (*.tgpar) to open it. See Fig. 6-1. ★Tip: The TG data set files may show the measured thickness values (as shown below), and the parameter files include waveform image areas only.

6.1.2 Close A File There are 3 ways to close a file. (1) Select File -> Close, and select the desired file name to close the file. (2) Click the hotkey Close to close the file directly. (3) Select - All or Checked from the file parameter window to close it. 【Note】: Select "- All" to close all files; Select “-Checked” to close the selected file only, after using the mouse to click the file to be closed.

6.2 ColorAndLine Setup For TG data set files, the colors of thickness and alarms can be set up in the menu ColorAndLine. Up to 8 group settings can be set up. See Fig. 6-2.

Fig. 6-2 Color Setup for Layers

Add: To add a new color for the setup thickness.

Modify: To select the thickness to be modified from the list, and modify 6-2


parameters of the thickness in the adjust fields.

Delete: Select the thickness color to be deleted. Click Delete to delete the selected thickness color.

Apply: To confirm the modification after color setup and preview.

Default: To restore to the factory default settings.

Quit: To quit the modification and restore to the state before entering.

After setting, the background color of the thickness reading area changes, and the reading at the upper right corner of the image area changes accordingly.

6.3 Thickness Reading Area Click any reading with the mouse. The title bar above will display the information of the current position, and the left waveform will display the image of information of the current position.
