10.4. Databases
To store the test records of the LanTEK
®
II Cable Certifier, the IDEAL DataCENTER program
requires a database. For initial storage of test records, a new database must be created.
10.4.1. Create a new database
1. Open the IDEAL DataCENTER program with the start symbol
DataCENTER.
2. Click on New Project, or on File in the menu bar and then on New Project.
A dialog box opens, indicating the path and the new database. The database can be identified
by the ending .sdf.
e.g. c:\Programme\IDEAL Industries\IDEAL DataCENTER\Projects\IDCProject.sdf
Illustration 10.4.1. Create a new database
3. You can either select the existing path or a new path by choosing Change Folder.
4. We suggest assigning a name to each new database (e.g. customer name, internal
job name, etc.).
NOTE:
We recommend creating the database locally on the computer.
The .sdf ending of the database must be maintained.
The database cannot be renamed at a later time.
5. Click OK to confirm entry.
