OPERATION
Power up
To power up the T-Box™ 2, connect the DC Power connector to the back of the T-Box™ 2, and plug the other
end into the mains supply. Wait a few seconds for the system to initialise; you may see the power button blink
on and off during this time.
Finally press the power button on the front panel. The T-Box™ 2 will take about 20 seconds to completely
power up. Once completely powered the display will show two Select Task screens. This gives you the ability
to work with two transducers at a time or to have 2 different views of the same transducer. In terms of screens
and operation they are both identical.
If you need to turn off your T-Box™ 2 tap the power icon in the bottom left corner and then select ‘Shut Down’
IMPORTANT: TO TURN ON AND OFF THE T-BOX™ 2 USE EITHER THE POWER BUTTON ON THE
FRONT PANEL OR THE POWER ICON IN THE T-BOX™ SOFTWARE
TIP: The touch screen allows you to easily navigate through the T-Box™ 2 screens. A quick tap on
an icon will take you to that screen and for some screen’s sliding your finger up and down will
scroll the items on the screen.
TIP: The Settings Icon is always in the top left corner and this will return you to the Select

Select Task Screen
This is the “main menu” of the T-Box™ 2 user interface. The T-Box™ 2 UI is a multitasking interface,
comprising two separate windows which can each be assigned a task (such as managing targets, capturing a
graph, or measuring a transducer).
You are free to pick any task for any window, at any time. You may, for example, elect to keep a measurement
task open alongside a target manager task, such that you can quickly change targets while taking
measurements. Alternatively, you may wish to measure something to capture readings while graphing the
output simultaneously in the other window. Or, you may wish to measure from both transducer inputs at once
with a pair of measurement tasks open.
The Select Task Screen allows you to select one of the following tasks for each of the two task windows:
Measure Opens the AnB Selection Screen and then the Measure Screen
Readings Opens the Readings Screen
File Browser Opens the File Browser
Targets Opens the Target Screen
Graphing Opens the Graphing Screen
Settings Opens the Settings Screen

8
Select AnB Screen
The T-Box™ 2 contains two inbuilt AnB (analogue board) modules, allowing for simultaneous reading of two
transducers.
The Select AnB menu is used to select one of the two AnB (transducer) ports for measurement, and is opened
when the user wishes to use the Measure Screen. Once selected you will be taken to the Measure Screen.
The example below shows a torque transducer (500 N·m) connected to AnB port 1, and a force transducer (50
N) attached to AnB port 2.
If you wish to measure from both transducers simultaneously, use the second window to open a second
Measure screen and select the other AnB for that screen.
To select a transducer just tap on it. If you remove or connect transducers, press REFRESH to update the
changes on the screen.

9
Measure Screen
The Measure Screen allows you to view live results and historic results from the selected AnB port as well as
providing access to all the settings needed to set up and take a measurement. For most users this will be the
most useful screen.

Auto Reset
Mode
For peak-type modes; whether auto reset
can be triggered by any drop in signal, or
only when the signal drops below AFL.
Hold Time
How long it takes the Auto Reset to
complete (in some modes Auto Reset may
be cancelled if conditions are met, like in
peak-type modes, if the signal starts to
increase again above AFL)
Progressive
Reset
Allows reset at the top end of a reading
instead of the bottom in peak-type modes
(see “Progressive Reset” section). Useful
in conjunction with Linked Targets.
Broadcast
Capture
Trigger
When enabled, triggers the other AnB
module to also capture a reading when this
one does (capture a reading from two
transducers at once - See “Broadcast
Capture Trigger” section)
Peak/First
Peak
Sensitivity
This determines how sensitive the
T-Box™ 2 is when detecting signal peaks
in Click, Dial, Stall, Screwdriver &
Hydraulic modes. If sensitivity is low, a
larger drop after a peak is needed to
register.
Active From
(AFL)
Active From level (AFL). Valid readings
will only start from at least N% of the
capacity of the transducer. Peak-type
readings are considered completed once
the signal drops below the AFL value.

12
Noise
Suppression
Allows the user to disable noise suppression in order to capture and analyse extremely fast
signals.
The data supplied in the T-Box™ 2 calibration certificate is obtained with noise
suppression enabled. Disabling it may result in wider uncertainties due to noise.
The password to disable Noise Suppression is: transients
Filter
Frequency
Selects an AnB module’s ADC filter frequency. Signals with frequencies above the current
setting are reduced. Increase the filter frequency for signals with rapid transients.
Serial
Output
Enable or disable serial port output of readings or live data streams for this specific AnB
module (requires serial port output enabled in settings > serial ports)
Set
This will set the current measurement mode based on the settings above
Cancel
Cancel mode setting; any changes will not be saved
NOTE: Not all settings are available in all modes; some are mode-specific.
TIP: If you want to capture graphs, bear in mind the AnB mode settings will affect the capture, so it
is important to consider the mode before capture begins. If you need to check or change the
mode, access Mode Selection from the Measurement Screen.
The mode effects on graphing are summarised below:
Track: Best for slow-moving signals and when maximum noise rejection is required.
Click: Best for graphing the behaviour of click-type setting tools such as
ISO 6789:2017 Type II Class A tools.
Dial: Best for any other scenario than those outlined above. Probably, the most
common all-purpose mode to use for graphing would be Dial mode.
Stall/Screwdriver/Hydraulic: There is no difference in graphing performance between these modes and
Dial mode.

13
Progressive Reset
Normally in peak-type modes (Dial, Stall, Screwdriver, Hydraulic), the peak reading is not captured until the
reading drops, and a subsequent Auto Reset or Manual Reset takes place to write the reading into memory.
However, there may be circumstances where users wish to capture readings without the signal having to
drop. A good example might be when testing a gearbox or a hydraulic wrench over a large range of
setpoints, where users wish to sweep through an increasing range of torque & pressure points and capture
results without having to back down to zero after each reading.
If you only wanted to capture a sweep of the capacity range of a hydraulic wrench or gearbox, it is possible
to just use the Graphing Screen and capture hundreds or even thousands of torque-vs-pressure points as a
graph, but if you have specific targets to test against, and want to express pass/fail criteria for each, then you
would need to set those explicit targets and capture readings against them.
For such situations, you can use Progressive Reset. Enabling it will cause the AnB module to reset during
the peak reading: the moment the transducer reading meets a PASS condition. Coupled with Linked Targets,
you can capture a reading at a specific torque or pressure point and instantly progress to the next target in
the chain. This lets you sweep through a range of targets in a single, smooth motion and capture pass/fail
criteria as you go.
NOTE: Progressive Reset only works when Auto Reset is enabled.
NOTE: Progressive Reset only works when Auto Save is enabled and a target is set on the AnB
module. If no target is set, the reset mechanism reverts to default (non-progressive)
behaviour.
NOTE: Progressive Reset overrides the default reset behaviour; in peak-type modes, this means
the timeout/threshold reset setting has no effect while Progressive Reset is active.
NOTE: With unlinked targets, Progressive Reset will disable Auto Save after it has taken a
reading, to prevent potentially hundreds of readings being captured in an instant.
NOTE: Progressive Reset cannot be used in conjunction with rate targets that specify an
minimum or maximum rate (more accurately: it can be used, but will not capture useful
rate data, and rate guidance indicators will not work)
TIP: Linked targets used with Progressive Reset should be set with small tolerances to ensure the
reading is captured as close to the desired value as possible. For increasing readings, like
sweeping up through the capacity of a hydraulic torque wrench, try using a lower tolerance of
0% and a small upper tolerance of <1%.
TIP: Do not sweep too quickly through Linked Targets with Progressive Reset; if you go too fast
you may overshoot the pass band for the target; if this happens the sweep will fail, and you will
need to reset the AnB module and start again.

14
Broadcast Capture Trigger
Sometimes you may have a test to perform that involves more than one transducer, such as when using a
hydraulic wrench; in this case you may be interested in measuring both torque and pressure at the same
time. Specifically, you may be interested in measuring the torque achieved at a specific pressure, and have
two transducers (one pressure, and one torque) connected for this purpose.
You can measure torque vs pressure using the Graph Screen, but if you have specific targets to test against,
and want to express pass/fail criteria for each, then you would need to set these explicit targets and capture
readings against them.
To capture such results, enable Progressive Reset and Broadcast Capture Trigger on the AnB module
measuring pressure and set the desired pressure target. When the pressure target reaches a pass condition,
the pressure AnB module will reset and capture a reading, and simultaneously trigger a capture from the
torque AnB module. The result is a pressure reading and a corresponding torque reading.
When combined with Linked Targets, you can capture an entire range of pressure vs torque readings in one
sweep.
It is not necessary to set a corresponding target on the AnB module receiving the broadcast trigger (in this
example, the torque AnB); however, you can do so if you want to express a pass/fail condition for the
recipient AnB module’s reading when it is taken. Linked Targets will also work on the recipient AnB; so, you
can specify a linked range of targets on the broadcasting AnB (which will trigger captures when their pass
conditions are met) and a corresponding range of targets on the recipient AnB, if you wish.
TIP: In order to respond to a Broadcast Capture Trigger, the recipient AnB module must be in use.
A Measuring Screen or a Graphing Screen can be used to ensure the desired AnB is active and
able to capture readings in response to capture triggers. For example, two Measurement
Screens open side by side (one for each AnB module) will suffice.
NOTE: In peak-type modes (Dial, Stall, Screwdriver, Hydraulic) Broadcast Capture Trigger only
works when Progressive Reset and Auto Reset is enabled.
NOTE: AnB modules ignore Broadcast Capture Trigger events in Click mode; this is because the
measurement is reliant upon external factors (when the tool produces a click). However, an
AnB in Click mode can broadcast a BCT event to other AnB modules when the tool clicks.
TIP: Do not enable Broadcast Capture Trigger on more than on AnB module at the same time.

15
Units Selection Menu
The Units Selection menu is where you select the current measurement units for a Measure screen.
To access this screen, tap the units in the measurement dial (see Measure Screen section of the handbook,
“Current Units” for a look at where to tap). Then pick a unit to switch to. If you change your mind and do not
wish to switch, just pick the units you were using before.
If certain units have been disabled in the Settings >> Units Screen, then they will appear greyed out and
cannot be selected.
NOTE: If you set a target, the Measure screen will automatically switch to the correct units for that
target.
NOTE: The units available for selection will vary depending on the type of the currently attached TD
(force, torque or pressure). The screenshot below shows Torque units.

16
Readings Screen
The Readings Screen is used to manage all readings from all AnBs attached to the system. You can also
choose to focus on the readings from just one AnB port if you wish by filtering out other readings.
Each result has a time and date, the recorded values and units, and direction (which in the case of force or
pressure, may be “positive” and “negative” instead of “CW”/”CCW”).
The result is colour coded depending on the Target limits used:
Green: reading OK/pass
Yellow: Reading too low (below limit)
Red: Reading too high (above limit)
If no target was set when the result was saved, then there is no colouration.
So, for a Target of 50 N·m +3% / -3% where the result is 50.67 N·m the result will be green (pass). If the result
was too low (43.74 N·m) the colour will be yellow and too high (53.60 N·m) will be red.
The same colouration applies to angle and rate if the target contained limits for those measurements.
TIP: To select an item tap on it (Highlighted items have a white background)
To un-select an item tap on it again
Filter This will allow filtering of the results by which AnB port took the reading
Delete This will delete the selected reading (tap a reading to select; selection is highlighted in
white)
Delete all This will delete all currently shown readings. If you have filtered the list, it will delete all
readings shown based on current filtration settings (leaving the rest)
Sort Readings Readings can be sorted by time, direction or result by tapping the relevant table header

17
File Browser
The File Browser allows you to browse the filesystem and manage T-Box™ data files such as Target files,
Graphing captures & Readings data. Use the File Browser to copy, rename and delete these and any other
files and folders, as well as copy data to or from a USB memory device. You can also directly open certain
T-Box™ data files from within the File Browser; see next page for details.
TIP: The File Browser tries to remember what folder you were in the last time it was used. This can
be useful when working with lots of similar files (such as editing many Target files).
TIP: To select an item tap on it (Highlighted items have a light red background)
To un-select an item tap on it again

18
By default, the File Browser starts in the /home/user folder. This is the default directory (like the user folder on
a Windows PC). You should see the Drive Icon looks like a hard disk, to indicate “internal memory” as the
current data source. The breadcrumbs to the right of the Drive Button show the current location, like below:
The folder contents window will reflect the current contents of the /home/user folder, showing all files and
folders.
If you navigate to the /home/user/Graphs folder (by double-tapping Graphs in the Folder Contents window) the
folder will be opened, and the breadcrumbs will update to show the new location:
You can also use the breadcrumbs to navigate back up the path. Tap the “user” or “home” breadcrumbs to
jump back to that location.
In addition to navigating and managing files, you can also use the File Browser to directly open certain T-
Box™ data files:
File Type
File Browser behaviour
Graphing preset file (.tbgpf)
Opens Graphing Screen and attempts to load the preset if compatible with
the current transducer and AnB configuration.
Graphing data file (.tbgf)
Cannot open directly; for use by customers who wish to import data into
their own software.
Graphing data file (.csv)
Cannot open directly; install spreadsheet software or copy the file to a PC
with spreadsheet software.
Readings file (.tbrf)
Opens Readings Screen and offers to load the file or combine its data
with any current readings.
Readings file (.csv)
Cannot open directly; install spreadsheet software or copy the file to a PC
with spreadsheet software.
Targets file (.tbtf)
Opens Targets Screen and loads the list of targets.
T-Box Update file (.deb)
(Software v1.0.2.1 and later) If it’s a valid update file, asks if the user is
sure and starts the installation procedure.
CSV format files cannot be opened - to view CSV files on T-Box™ 2, install spreadsheet software like
LibreOffice Calc or FreeOffice PlanMaker, or alternatively, use File Browser to copy the files to a memory stick
and take them to a computer with spreadsheet software installed.
Readings, Targets and Graphs are stored in the following folders:
/home/user/Graphs
/home/user/Readings
/home/user/Targets
You can also use the File Browser to delete, or copy files to and from a USB memory stick. This is useful if
you want to share Targets with another T-Box™ 2, for instance, or send Graph data or readings to a PC.
See Example 2 (Page 38) - How to copy Results Folder to Memory Stick
TIP: Two file browsers can be opened side by side to facilitate easy copying of files from one
window to the other. This can be useful if you are working with lots of files at once, such as
copying lots of individual Results files to a USB memory stick.

19
Targets Screen
The Targets Screen allows you to manage your targets. Targets specify test conditions and pass/fail
parameters against which you can take measurements and store results. You can specify a target transducer
reading, angle, and ISO 6789 rate timings against which to take measurements, as well as specify direction
and number of readings.
For instance, a target might measure Torque Only in N·m in a Clockwise direction, specifying a pass value
of 50 N·m and an allowable upper and lower range of +3% / -3%.
In older T-Box™ generations, the targets list was a singular, flat list of all the targets stored on the instrument.
But in T-Box™ 2, you can have thousands of different target lists; each one comprising a separate .tbtf
Targets file on the T-Box™ internal storage. This allows for much better organisation of targets. For instance,
you might choose to categorise targets by which type or which capacity of tool they are for. You can use the
Targets file capability and the File Browser to store, categorise and organise targets however you wish.
