InspectMaster
The evaluation software InspectMaster works with the Displaybox and was developed for data logging and
analysis. InspectMaster makes it possible to view the measured data as curves or numeric values.
Note:
You can read a detailed description of the functions in the help files.
4.5.1
System requirements
PC/laptop
min. 500MHz
Operating system
Windows ME, 2000, NT or XP
4.5.2
Installing the software
Important!
The unit must not be connected when the software is installed.
When the CD ROM is inserted, the Autorun file is normally launched.
Follow the instructions of the installation routine. After installation has
been completed, the DDBF must be connected to an unused USB
interface. The PC then requests device drivers, which are also
contained on the CD ROM. Two drivers are installed. The software is
then ready for operation.
It can also be repaired or uninstalled with this installation routine.
Note!
If the installation routine does not launch automatically, installation
can be started by double clicking on 'SetupInspectMaster.exe'.

Note:
For good performance, no other programs with
high demands on computing power or graphics
should be running concurrently with
InspectMaster.

5 Measuring Chains
5.1
Setting up
You will require the following materials for fitting: Allen screwdriver for SW5, grease solvent and cleaning
cloths. The fitting location should be free of grease and should have a maximum surface roughness of
Ra 3.2 (N8).
5.1.1
Fitting the measuring clamp
1
Hint: connect the Y cable before assembling the strain clamp.
2
The clamp slider must be screwed in until the cut-in in the rack which is not coloured is just visible.
3
A location must now be found on the tie bar where the sensor cannot collide with moving machine
parts. To avoid the effects of transverse forces, the strain clamp should be attached at least 1.5 times
D (D = rated diameter) from the point at which the force is applied.
4
Press the unlocking button and push the positioning slider until the steel foils in the sensor heads
touch the tie bar. The tension spring and the centring plates permit optimum positioning of the
measuring clamp.
5
Release the unlocking button. The positioning slider is correctly engaged when the engaging pin does
not project.
6
Turn the integrated torque wrench until it clicks. If this is impossible by hand, the measuring clamp can
be tensioned using a 5 mm Allen key at the front of the integrated torque wrench.
End position of the clamp slider has to be between the two cut ins.
7
The measuring clamp is now ready for operation.
8
Apply full load to the tie bar (machine) 2 to 4 times to prevent settling errors.
9
The measuring clamp is suitable for dynamic applications only and must therefore be tared (reset)
after each cycle.
5.1.2
Dismantling the strain clamp
1
Release the integrated torque wrench. If this is impossible by hand, the measuring clamp can be
released using a 5 mm Allen key at the front of the integrated torque wrench.
2
Press the unlocking button to push the strain clamp apart.
