00:00:10,033 --> 00:00:11,666
Hi, I’m Ted Shields.

2
00:00:11,666 --> 00:00:13,566
Today I’m going to show
you the PC software

3
00:00:13,566 --> 00:00:16,133
for the Vanta hand held XRF analyzer.

4
00:00:16,133 --> 00:00:18,566
The PC software comes
on the USB drive

5
00:00:18,566 --> 00:00:20,533
that comes with the analyzer.

6
00:00:20,533 --> 00:00:21,766
So just copy the installer

7
00:00:21,766 --> 00:00:24,066
from that USB drive onto your PC.

8
00:00:24,066 --> 00:00:25,633
Double click the installer

9
00:00:25,633 --> 00:00:28,433
and follow the instructions
on the screen.

10
00:00:28,433 --> 00:00:29,966
You also are then going to want to

11
00:00:29,966 --> 00:00:32,066
power up the Vanta.

12
00:00:32,066 --> 00:00:34,833
But don’t go and login to the Vanta,

13
00:00:34,833 --> 00:00:37,033
just connect it with the USB cord

14
00:00:37,033 --> 00:00:41,500
that comes with
the analyzer in the case.

15
00:00:41,500 --> 00:00:43,366
If you had connected the Vanta

16
00:00:43,366 --> 00:00:45,033
then where it says available here

17
00:00:45,033 --> 00:00:46,200
it would say busy.

18
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:48,933
Because the Vanta software

19
00:00:48,933 --> 00:00:50,566
would be controlling the analyzer

20
00:00:50,566 --> 00:00:52,466
rather than the PC software.

21
00:00:52,466 --> 00:00:54,500
We also have offline devices.

22
00:00:54,500 --> 00:00:58,466
Those are from profiles that
we’ve previously copied

23
00:00:58,466 --> 00:01:00,200
so that we could go ahead and browse

24
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:01,500
their data at other times.

25
00:01:01,500 --> 00:01:03,500
But let’s login to this one.

26
00:01:03,500 --> 00:01:09,966
We’ll login as administrator.

27
00:01:09,966 --> 00:01:12,200
So we’ve come to the Navigator portion

28
00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:13,500
of the PC software.

29
00:01:13,500 --> 00:01:16,400
This is where you control
the analyzer from.

30
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:18,733
So you can see we’ve got the results

31
00:01:18,733 --> 00:01:19,866
on the screen here.

32
00:01:19,866 --> 00:01:21,666
They look very similar to the results

33
00:01:21,666 --> 00:01:24,000
that you’d see on the analyzer screen,

34
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:26,133
just laid out in a horizontal format

35
00:01:26,133 --> 00:01:27,500
rather than a vertical format

36
00:01:27,500 --> 00:01:29,500
because we have the
real estate to do it.

37
00:01:29,500 --> 00:01:30,966
We also can show you then

38
00:01:30,966 --> 00:01:32,133
some of the previous tests

39
00:01:32,133 --> 00:01:34,633
and you can go ahead
and navigate through those

40
00:01:34,633 --> 00:01:36,866
to look at earlier tests.

41
00:01:36,866 --> 00:01:38,933
At the bottom of the screen
you’ll see the Play button

42
00:01:38,933 --> 00:01:41,500
as well as the 3 favorites
buttons that are

43
00:01:41,500 --> 00:01:43,933
the same as what you’d
see on the screen.

44
00:01:43,933 --> 00:01:47,033
In the upper right is the gear icon.

45
00:01:47,033 --> 00:01:48,433
click on that and you will see

46
00:01:48,433 --> 00:01:50,266
all the settings
that you have access to.

47
00:01:50,266 --> 00:01:52,633
Of particular interest
for the PC software

48
00:01:52,633 --> 00:01:54,100
is the Sync button.

49
00:01:54,100 --> 00:01:56,700
That’s what copies the
database from the Vanta

50
00:01:56,700 --> 00:01:58,333
onto the PC

51
00:01:58,333 --> 00:02:01,033
so that you can look
at the results later.

52
00:02:01,033 --> 00:02:04,133
So let me grab that gear icon

53
00:02:04,133 --> 00:02:07,200
and slide up, that puts the tray away.

54
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:10,133
So the PC software will work

55
00:02:10,133 --> 00:02:13,166
with both a touch screen tablet

56
00:02:13,166 --> 00:02:16,166
as well as a traditional
mouse and keyboard

57
00:02:16,166 --> 00:02:18,266
that I’m showing you today.

58
00:02:18,266 --> 00:02:21,066
So this is the basic idea
of the Navigator

59
00:02:21,066 --> 00:02:25,933
how you’d control the Vanta
from the PC software.

60
00:02:25,933 --> 00:02:27,700
We also have, from this Home button

61
00:02:27,700 --> 00:02:28,933
if you click there,

62
00:02:28,933 --> 00:02:32,333
the Fleet Manager section
of the PC software.

63
00:02:32,333 --> 00:02:35,633
The Fleet Manager controls the profile

64
00:02:35,633 --> 00:02:38,066
so this is what really
controls the settings

65
00:02:38,066 --> 00:02:40,333
that you get to put onto the analyzer.

66
00:02:40,333 --> 00:02:42,000
So it’s useful to think of this

67
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:43,433
as there’s a profile level,

68
00:02:43,433 --> 00:02:45,433
beneath that then are users,

69
00:02:45,433 --> 00:02:47,266
the users then have methods,

70
00:02:47,266 --> 00:02:49,033
those methods then have settings.

71
00:02:49,033 --> 00:02:51,066
So it’s useful to think
of those levels

72
00:02:51,066 --> 00:02:52,433
as we go through.

73
00:02:52,433 --> 00:02:54,433
So let’s look at this profile

74
00:02:54,433 --> 00:02:56,333
eight zero zero zero three seven

75
00:02:56,333 --> 00:02:59,900
by clicking on the edit pencil.

76
00:02:59,900 --> 00:03:02,266
That brings us to the Administrator

77
00:03:02,266 --> 00:03:05,633
so we can go ahead and
edit the Administrator.

78
00:03:05,633 --> 00:03:09,133
And then we can look
at the alloy plus method

79
00:03:09,133 --> 00:03:12,566
that we’ve got here and click on

80
00:03:12,566 --> 00:03:15,533
the gear icon
to bring up the settings.

81
00:03:15,533 --> 00:03:18,066
If we pick a particular setting,

82
00:03:18,066 --> 00:03:19,566
we can go to test times

83
00:03:19,566 --> 00:03:22,966
and we can change those
test times however we want,

84
00:03:22,966 --> 00:03:25,333
so we’ll change two to three.

85
00:03:25,333 --> 00:03:27,933
So we can then
put our menu tray away.

86
00:03:27,933 --> 00:03:29,633
To save these settings,

87
00:03:29,633 --> 00:03:35,333
then we press the Back button.

88
00:03:35,333 --> 00:03:39,266
At this level also
we can add users,

89
00:03:39,266 --> 00:03:41,700
we can also then
edit our templates,

90
00:03:41,700 --> 00:03:44,100
which control how the notes function,

91
00:03:44,100 --> 00:03:45,500
the export function,

92
00:03:45,500 --> 00:03:47,266
the PDF function
and the batch function,

93
00:03:47,266 --> 00:03:48,800
how they all work.

94
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:50,166
The library controls how

95
00:03:50,166 --> 00:03:51,500
our compound display works

96
00:03:51,500 --> 00:03:53,233
as well as our grade libraries.

97
00:03:53,233 --> 00:03:55,000
All of those things we can edit,

98
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:56,600
we have separate
videos that tell you

99
00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:58,200
how to use each of those.

100
00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:00,500
To exit the Fleet Profile area

101
00:04:00,500 --> 00:04:02,166
we are going to press the Back button

102
00:04:02,166 --> 00:04:04,466
in the upper right.

103
00:04:04,466 --> 00:04:06,466
So we’re back at
the profile page here

104
00:04:06,466 --> 00:04:09,233
so this is where
we can push the profile

105
00:04:09,233 --> 00:04:13,100
onto the analyzer using
the deploy profile button.

106
00:04:13,100 --> 00:04:17,000
So, you can push a profile
from any serial number

107
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:18,866
onto a number of different analyzers

108
00:04:18,866 --> 00:04:21,200
as long as they have
the same configuration,

109
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:22,966
as long as they have the same methods.

110
00:04:22,966 --> 00:04:25,100
So that way you only need
to do the edits once

111
00:04:25,100 --> 00:04:27,966
and then you can push it onto
your whole fleet of analyzers,

112
00:04:27,966 --> 00:04:30,866
that’s why we call this
the Fleet Manager.

113
00:04:30,866 --> 00:04:32,333
So those are really the functions

114
00:04:32,333 --> 00:04:34,366
that you can do with the PC software.

115
00:04:34,366 --> 00:04:36,766
You can control a profile
with the Fleet Manager,

116
00:04:36,766 --> 00:04:39,800
and you can directly control
an individual analyzer

117
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:41,933
using the Navigator section.

118
00:04:41,933 --> 00:04:44,566
So I hope this has
helped you understand

119
00:04:44,566 --> 00:04:46,400
what the PC software can do for you.

120
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:48,266
Thank you for watching.
