If you want to enter the maximum pull force of the product so that it displays as a horizontal red line on
the Force graph, then enter the value in the Design Load input box. A value of 4000 was entered as the
design load in the example shown below.
Pull Force Graph
DATA Field
The DATA field lists information about each data
point (DP) in the specified job (Job#). Each of the
data fields is described below.
¾ DP# – A sequential listing of each data
point.
¾ Force – The amount of pull force mea-
sured at the time of that data point.
¾ Max. Force – The maximum pull force measured at the time of that data point.
¾ Pressure – The mud pressure measured at the time of that data point.
Port Status Field and Open/Close Buttons
The input box in the top right corner of the software screen displays the port
status. Before transferring data, you must connect the receiver and computer
using the ACTiSYS IR cable, and the USB-to-serial cable if necessary, through
an available port. To choose a port, select the desired port number (1, 2, 3, 4)
from the Port menu (port 1 is generally used), then click on the Open button.
To disconnect from a port, click on the Close button.
If you cannot open a port after you have identified one using your computer’s system properties hardware
settings in the Control Panel (see “Port Menu Commands” earlier in this section), close the Eclipse
TensiTrak program and reopen it. Select the desired port, and click on the Open button. You may also
refer to “Transferring Hints” in the Transferring Data to Computer section of this manual. If this does not
solve the problem, then call DCI Customer Service, 800-288-3610 or 425-251-0559, for assistance.
