1 EXPORTING & IMPORTING FROM GAPGUN MX+ HANDLE

GapGun MX+ has multiple methods to import and export data.

1. LAN Cable – Hard wire connection 2. Wi-Fi – Wireless connection 3. USB – Portable connection

You cannot import a checkplan that already exists on the GapGun MX+ handle, i.e. checkplans with identical names. If you have

edited the checkplan in SPC3d6 you will need to give it a different name or delete the checkplan from the handle in order to

import one of the same name.

EXPORT & IMPORT VIA LAN & WI-FI

When the GapGun MX+ is connected to a PC running SPC3d6 these options are made available. Any Checkplan created in SPC3d6 and saved on the PC will be available to import from SPC3d6 to the GapGun MX+ handle. Once the checkplan has been imported along with any specific tools associated with that checkplan, the GapGun MX+ can use the checkplan to measure.

Only *.gg checkplan file names can be transferred to the GapGun MX+.

See ‘Exporting and Importing via LAN & Wi-Fi’ page 10.

The connectivity icon does not have a cross. Connected.

EXPORT & IMPORT VIA USB

These are the options you will have in Roaming Mode whilst connected to SPC3d6. For further information on USB functions please see ‘USB Port Functions’ page 4. You do not need to be connected to SPC3d6 to use the USB functions.



2 EXPORTING FROM SPC3D TO USB

Open the checkplan you wish to export to the USB device, see ‘Opening a Checkplan in SPC3d’ – D11-608.

EXPORT CHECKPLAN

With the checkplan open in SPC3d6 you will have the option to ‘Export Checkplan’. Click on this option.

USB DEVICE

Insert the Third Dimension USB device into your PC port.

SELECT USB DRIVE

From the list select the correct drive you wish to export to.



EXPORT OK

Once the checkplan has been exported successfully you will see this message. Click OK to continue.

CHECKPLAN ALREADY EXISTS

If a checkplan of the same name exists on the USB device you will see this message.

If you click ‘Yes’ you will delete the checkplan on the USB device and replace it with the checkplan from SPC3d6.

The exported checkplan has all the tool and checkplan data contained within the *.gg file.

With the checkplan now on the USB device you can import it into the GapGun MX+ handle. See ‘Import from USB’ page7.



3 USB PORT FUNCTIONS

GAPGUN MX+ USB PORT

This is a standard USB port that will accept a USB device up to 2GB. Third Dimension recommends using the USB device supplied with the GapGun MX+.

USB DEVICE

Place the USB device in the port as shown. The GapGun MX+ will recognise the USB device and the USB icon will be displayed along with menu options for USB data transfer.

These settings are for when the GapGun MX+ is not connected to a PC or SPC3d. Insert a USB device into the port on the left

side of the GapGun MX+ handle. The first thing to notice once you have plugged a USB device in is the new system icon in the

top right which gives access to the USB device by tapping on it.

USB ICON

The USB icon will appear in the system icon area.

PLUG IN THE USB DEVICE

When you plug in the USB device the screen will have USB

options available. You have the option to transfer data to and

for that option.

Here you are using the USB device storage.



3.1 USB DISK FILES

When a USB device is connected to the GapGun MX+ you can access all the files on that USB device. This would be used to

update the GapGun MX+ handle software or update certain tool information. This process would be completed by an

administrator or Third Dimension.

USB ICON

If you tap on the small USB icon in the top right you will gain access to the USB device.

USB DISK MENU

can be seen on the screen. Tap on the checkplan to import it

into the GapGun MX+ handle memory. The checkplans will

have been created on a PC and loaded onto the USB device.

The time taken to import will depend on the size of the

checkplan.

Note: You cannot import a file of the same name that already

exists on the GapGun MX+.

SPC3d6. Open SPC3d6 and then open the checkplan of the same name that you were using on the GapGun MX+ handle.

IMPORT RESULTS

With the same checkplan open you can import the results from your measurements into the checkplan on the PC. Click on ‘Import Results’

USB DEVICE

Insert the Third Dimension USB device into your PC port.

(Your checkplan should be open at this stage)

IMPORT FAILED

If there is a problem with the data you will see this screen.

Possible reasons for failed import;

No data file on USB device

Corrupt or damaged files


Once the data has been imported into SPC3d you will be able to view and analyse the data.

The checkplan being used in Roaming Mode stores the data collected, it is part of the checkplan. When you export the checkplan it has all the measured data within it. To delete the data you need to delete the checkplan.

If you want to measure with an empty checkplan you should reload an empty checkplan.




5 EXPORTING AND IMPORTING VIA LAN & WI-FI

The GapGun MX+ will be used in Direct Link Mode, to update checkplans, save measurement data change or erase information

stored on the GapGun MX+ handle you will need to connect to SPC3d.

When the GapGun MX+ is connected to a PC running SPC3d these options to import and export are made available. Any

Checkplan created in SPC3d and saved on the PC will be available to import from SPC3d to the GapGun MX+ handle. Once the

checkplan has been imported along with any specific tools associated with that checkplan, the GapGun MX+ can be used in

Roaming Mode disconnected from the PC. Once the operator has finished measuring the measurement data can be uploaded to

SPC3d6 or saved on a USB device.

When the operator is using the GapGun MX+ in Direct Link Mode, it is connected to SPC3d and using checkplans via SPC3d. The

measurement data will be recorded into the open checkplan and saved onto the PC.

5.1 CONNECTING THE GAPGUN MX+ TO SPC3D

To connect the GapGun MX+ to SPC3d you need the battery pack connected with the power switched on. There is a small

connection switch that switches between Wi-Fi and LAN. Make sure the switch is in the appropriate position for your system.

With the battery pack connected and the connection switch in the correct position open SPC3d on the PC. Please see D11-678

‘Connectivity Guide’ for further help with connecting GapGun MX+ to SPC3d.

GAPGUN MX+ HANDLE CONNECTION

The connector will only fit one way, you can see the small red dots that will align for correct connection.

BATTERY PACK CONNECTION & SWITCHES

The power switch should be in the ‘On’ position and the connection switch should suit your system requirements.

With SPC3d open, see ‘GapGun MX+ Direct Link Mode’ D11-608, you will see the following icons in the lower left of the screen

to indicate that the GapGun MX+ is not or is connected.



5.2 EXPORTING TO SPC3D VIA LAN & WI-FI
