Introduction
Paper Schmidt
The Paper Schmidt PS8000 is a precision instrument designed for testing roll
profiles of paper rolls with a high degree of repeatability.
Paperlink Software
Starting Paperlink 2
Download the Paperlink 2 from
https://www.screeningeagle.com/en/products/Paper Schmidt and locate the file
“Paperlink2_Setup” on your computer
Follow the instructions you see on the screen. This will install Paperlink 2on
your PC including the necessary USB driver. It will also create a desktop icon
for launching the program.
Either click on the desktop icon or click on the Paperlink 2 entry in the
“Start” menu. “Start – Programs –Proceq –Paperlink 2”.
Click on the “Help” icon to bring up the complete operating instructions.
Application settings
The menu item “File – Application settings” allows the user to select the
language and the date and time format to be used.
Connecting to the Paper Schmidt
Connect your Paper Schmidt to a free USB port, then click on the icon to bring
up the following window:
Leave the settings as default or if you know the COM port you can enter it
manually.
Click on “Next >”
The USB driver installs a virtual com port which is used to communicate with
the Paper Schmidt. When a Paper Schmidt has been found you will see a window
like this: Click on the “Finish” button to establish the connection.
Viewing the data
The data stored on your Paper Schmidt will be displayed on the screen:
- The test series is identified by the “Impact counter” value and by a “Roll ID” if assigned.
- The user may alter the Roll ID directly in the “Roll ID” column.
- The “Date & Time” when the measurement series was made.
- The “Mean value”.
- The “Total” number of impacts in this series.
- The “Lower limit” and “Upper limit” are set for that series.
- The “Range” of the values in this series.
- The “Std dev.” The standard deviation of the measurement series.
Click on the double arrow icon in the impact counter column to see the profile.
PaperLink – Manual
The user may also add a comment to the measurement series. To do so, click on
“Add”.
The user may alter the order in which the measurements are shown. Click on
“measurement order” to switch to “ordered by value”.
If limits have been set, they are displayed as follows with a blue band. It is also possible to adjust the limits directly in this window by clicking on the blue limit values.
In this example, the third reading can be clearly seen to be outside the limits.
Summary window
In addition to the “Series” view described above, Paperlink 2 also provides
the user with a “Summary” window. This may be useful when comparing a batch of
rolls of the same type.
Click on the respective tab to switch between views.
To include or exclude a series from the summary, click on the summary symbol in the impact counter column. This symbol is either “black” or “greyed out”, which shows whether or not the particular series is included in the summary. The summary view can be adjusted in a similar way to the detailed view of a series.
Adjusting the max/min settings
Maximum and Minimum settings that were used in the Paper Schmidt at the time
of the measurement series can be adjusted subsequently in Paperlink 2.
This can be done either by right-clicking directly on the item in the
appropriate column or by clicking on the blue setting item in the detailed
view of a measurement series.
In each case, a selection box will appear with the choice of setting.
Adjusting the date and time
The time will be adjusted for the selected series only.
Exporting data
Paperlink 2 allows you to export selected series or the entire project for use
in third-party programs.
To export the selected series, click on the table of the measurement series
you wish to export. It will be highlighted as shown.
Click on the “Copy as text” icon.
The data for this measurement series is copied to the clipboard and can be
pasted into another program such as Excel. If you wish to export the
individual impact values of the series, you have to display them by clicking
on the double arrow icon as described above before you “Copy as text”.
Click on the “Copy as picture” icon
For exporting the selected items only into another document or report. This
performs the same action as above, but the data is exported in the form of a
picture and not as text data.
Click on the “Export as text” icon
Allows you to export the entire project data as a text file that can then be
imported into another program such as Excel. Click on the “Export as text”
icon.
This will open the “Save As” window where you can define the location in which
you wish to store the *.txt file.
Give the file a name and click on “Save” to save it.
Paperlink 2 has two “tabs” with two display formats. “Series” and “Summary”.
When performing this operation, the project data will be exported in the
format defined by the active “Tab”, i.e. either in “series” or “summary”
format.
To open the file in Excel, locate the file and right-click on it, and “Open
with” – “Microsoft Excel”. The data will be opened in an Excel document for
further processing. Or drag and drop the file into an open Excel window.
Deleting and restoring data
The menu item “Edit – Delete” allows you to delete one or more selected series
from the downloaded data.
This does not delete data from the Paper Schmidt, only data in the current
project.
The menu item “Edit – Select all”, allows the user to select all series in the
project for exporting etc.
Restoring the original downloaded data
Select the menu item: “File – Restore all original data” to restore the data
to the original format as it was downloaded. This is a useful feature if you
have been manipulating the data, but wish to go back to the raw data once
again.
A warning will be given to say that the original data is about to be restored.
Confirm to restore.
Any names or comments that have been added to the series will be lost.
Deleting data stored on the Paper Schmidt
Select the menu item “Device – Delete all Data on Device” to delete all data
stored on the Paper Schmidt.
A warning will be given to say that the data is about to be deleted on the
device. Confirm to delete.
Please note, that this will delete every measurement series and cannot be
undone. It is not possible to delete individual series.
