3 UPLOADING EXCEL FILES

3.1 API ETALCOMPT, ALMASCOPE and BLENDER

At the end of a verification exercise with an API ETALCOMPT, an ALMASCOPE or an ETALCOMPT BLENDER, the data backup is made as follows: • Retrieve the measurement results of the ETALCOMPT by using the CTD+ • Connect the key to the PC with an USB cable • Open the file on the CTD+

� ALM00xxxxx.xls for the ALMASCOPE, � MEL00xxxxx.xls for the MELANGEUR � API00xxxxx.xls for the API ETALCOMPT

(xxxxx is the reference standard) If the dialog box ‘Missing or not compatible file’ opens, csv files are missing on the CTD+ (P, E or J for the API ETALCOMPT). Those files are useful for retrieving data in the Excel file

• Name the Excel file and save it on the computer as: � A 97-2003 Excel file (*.xls) to save macros. When you open the file again if the

csv files are missing, the dialog box ‘Missing or not compatible file’ should open, then click on OK OR

� A Open XML Strict spreadsheet (*.xlsx) to save the Excel format without macros OR

� PDF file (*.pdf) to save the file into a non-editable format. • Close the CTD+ and disconnect it.

3.2 LPG ETALCOMPT+

At the end of a verification exercise with an LPG ETALCOMPT+, the data backup is made as follows: • Retrieve the measurement results of the ETALCOMPT by using the CTD+ • Connect the key to the PC with an USB cable • Copy the CTD+ files to a folder you have created on your computer Note: The file named Master.xls must never be modified. It must remain in the same folder as the file named GPL00xxxxx.xls. • Close the CTD+ and disconnect it

FORM DOC 120 A



• In the computer folder, open the file named GPL00xxxxx.xls which is automatically updated. The table is titled: ‘liste des fichiers créés d’après les vérifications effectuées avec l’ETALCOMPT GPL+’. This list comprises the names of the reports for each meter verified at a given date. For example 123ab94_20160318.xls is the name of the verification report of the meter #123ab94 for tests performed on the 18th of March, 2016.

• Verification reports are saved in the folder named Vehicles. Open the relevant file 123ab94_20160318.xls for example Note: the folder Vehicles is automatically created on opening the file named GPL00xxxxx.xls. If it has already been created on the computer, its content is not erased.

• These reports can be renamed and saved in another folder on the computer. They can be saved as: � A 97-2003 Excel file (*.xls) to save macros. When you open the file again if the

csv files are missing, the dialogue box ‘Missing or not compatible file’ should open, then click on OK OR

� A Open XML Strict spreadsheet (*.xlsx) to save the Excel format without macros OR

� PDF file (*.pdf) to save the file into a non-editable format.
