The model 600 data collector and TranSend II software are intended to provide a cost effective solution
to data collection and torque applications requiring portability.
TranSend II
Maintains setups and data in a Microsoft SQL 2008 R2 Express database
Data and setups are transferred between the PC and the 600 via a USB cable
Operator is notified of changes to setups when connecting the 600
Harvested data can be viewed in DAR or exported to Excel or other programs
Gage Suite Editor has three default gage suites: Torque, LMI and Digital
Gage suites can be edited and new gages configured
Torque uses include:
Residual algorithms for auditing assembled products
Set torque measurement for hand assembly applications
Optional characteristic descriptors can be used to:
Inform operators about aspects of data collection
Marry characteristics in the database to track critical measurements
The model 600 data collector
Available 600 models:
Torque/serial
LMI/Digital/Serial
Digital
One gigabyte of memory
Powered by rechargeable lithium battery (not by the PC)
Supports color graphic images to help operators during data collection
Reaudit capability
Operators can view:
Control charts, histograms, statistics and review data
Torque curves
These may be captured individually or set to save automatically for out
of spec, exceptions or all torque events
Reporting options
CSV format which can be opened in Excel.
DAR v. 3.5.0.1 and later for SPC analysis
Future release: Web-based Business Intelligence exception and audit completion
reports

DM600 –TranSend II Configurations
The 600 Handheld Data Collector along with TranSend II can be installed either in a network or a non-
network configuration. The figures below show both options:
Network Configuration

Rev 3 Page 7
Non Network Configuration
Note: With the non-networked configuration the 600s are tied to their
database. If a 600 is moved to a different PC (with a different database) an error
message will be displayed saying that the unit does not belong to this database.
You will have to reinitialize the collector if you want to use it on the new
computer.

Rev 3 Page 8
The goal is to understand how all the components work together to create setups, collect data
and upload it to the TranSend II database.
TranSend II Objectives:
Demonstrate an understanding of:
1) Gage Suites
a. Create a gage suite with aliases and their uses
2) Setup Editor
a. Configure Setup Editor preferences
b. Create labels and assign them to a setup
c. Create characteristics with alarms and assign them to a setup
d. Assign aliases to characteristics
e. Select images and assign them to characteristics
f. Add characteristic descriptors and assign them to characteristics
g. Create a setup group and assign setups to the group
3) Demonstrate understanding of information transfer between TranSend II and the 600 so that:
a. Setup Groups are sent to the collector
b. Gage suites are sent to the collector
c. Data is harvested from the collector
600 Objectives:
Demonstrate understanding of:
1) Menus and keystrokes
2) Preference settings for efficient battery use
3) How to select a gage suite to master and test the gages
4) About screen information and options
5) Select a setup, respond to prompts and collect data
6) View analysis charts and torque curves
7) Reaudit

Rev 3 Page 9
1. What wrench sizes and uses will you employ on your audit routes?
2. Are fasteners audited as they are installed, or afterwards?
3. Where do you get your spec limits?
4. How often do the limits change (update, edited, reviewed)?
5. What are the critical torque measurements that you need to audit or collect data on?
6. What labels do you think you’ll need (non-data information)?
7. Do you need to evaluate your joint variation (stiction)?
8. How do you organize your audit plans?
9. How do you store all the readings that are being taken?
10. How do you determine that all critical torque readings have been taken and that they have been
taken on time?
11. What reports do you need to provide and how often?

TranSend II has several tutorials, which are located in the TranSend II directory in the Tutorial directory.

TranSend II Menu Tour
We will take a preliminary look at the menus in TranSend II.
1. Click the Windows Start button and select:
All Programs /ASI DataMyte / TranSend II / TranSend II
The TranSend II main screen appears.
2. Note the Open Collector image. It is grayed out because there is no collector attached.
When a 600 is attached, this interface is used to share information between the collector
and the TranSend II database.

Rev 3 Page 12
3. Select Setup Editor
The Setup Editor is used to create setups and their components (characteristics, labels,
choice lists, etc.). Note the following:
Editors:
oLabels
oChoice Lists
oOptions
oDescriptors
oChar Descriptors
4 Panes:
oSetup Groups
oSetups (in the selected Setup Group)
oActive Setup Group
oActive Setup
Close Setup Editor using the red X.

Rev 3 Page 13
4. Select Gage Suite Editor. Gage Suites are sets of gage instructions for the 600.
Note the following:
Editors: Gages, Gage Uses, Gage Models
Gage Suites: Open, New Gage Suite
List of gage suites
oThe default suites will most likely be all you need
Close the Gage Suite Editor using the red X.
5. Select View Torque Data.
Note the saved torque curve. Close Torque Curves using the red X.
6. Note Device Management. It is grayed out if the 600 is not attached to the PC.
If the 600 is attached selecting Device Management will show this Update Firmware
message. This will usually need to be done when updating TranSend II software.
Note: Once firmware is updated, reinitialize the collector.

Rev 3 Page 14
7. Select Options.
and note the following options:
Output Data To
Formatting Options
Append Julian Style Date option
Output Folders
Reserved subgroups
Click Cancel when done.
8. Select About. This shows what version of TranSend II you have and other information.

Rev 3 Page 15
1. Open the Gage Suite Editor. Open the Torque Default Suite. View the Aliases and note the
alias details Model, Type, Gage, Use etc.) An alias is assigned in the source field in a setup.
.
2. To view aliases grouped by GageName, drag the GageName column header to the gray
bar.
Click the arrow next to GageName to sort in different directions.
Note the toolbar buttons for Gage Suite and Aliases.
Close the Torque Default Suite when finished. Note: This resets the columns.
*Note: you can drag the column heads back to the data to reset the columns as well.
