General Product Description
1 General Product Description
The Vertiv CRT Previewer software program allows the user to view the data
file, .CDF, created by the CRT and stored on the USB device and/or the Smart
Media memory card. Unlike the Battery Analysis System BAS program, where
the user can continually build battery files by appending new sets of readings,
Previewer only allows the user to view one set of readings at a time and print
them.
Previewer can do the following:
♦Display data in bar graph and tabular formats.
♦Modify data and save the file.
♦Manually create a battery file by entering data from another source and
saving the file.
♦Create site setup information for the CRT.
♦Update Cellcorder CRT firmware.
Previewer interfaces with the CRT Cellcorders only.
The key differences are:
♦The CRT–300 has Smart Media memory card capability and
♦The CRT–400 has a USB port.
1.1 Safety Information
It is extremely important to read and to understand the safety precautions
outlined in the Legal Safety section of the CRT User's Guides and those printed
elsewhere in this manual and/or corresponding manuals before using the
Cellcorder and the software. Proper installation, use and testing are essential to
the correct functioning of the software and the Cellcorder.
1.1.1 If Questions Come Up
If the user has questions, contact Vertiv at 954–377-7101 or fax [phone];
request Vertiv CRT Previewer software program or Cellcorder assistance.
1.2 System Requirements
The following are the minimum system requirements for the CRT Previewer
software operation.
♦Version 2.01A01or later firmware for the CRT–400 Cellcorder,
♦Version 1.00A25 or later firmware for the CRT–300 Cellcorder
♦Microsoft Windows®– 2000 or XP.
♦Pentium4™ 1GHz or higher microprocessor.
♦128M of memory for Windows 2000, 256M for Windows XP.
♦150M of hard disk space for program installation. 1G of space for data
storage.
