Exporting All Controller Information

  1. On the home view, go to the Controller tab and then select Export/Import on the left pane.

  2. Go to the Export window, select the ellipsis icon and then All controller information on the pop-up window.

  3. On the Export window, select Export.
    At the end of the exporting process, an exporting pop-up window confirms that the export is completed.
    A PF/IXBExport_<IAM name>_<datetime>.tar.gz file is automatically downloaded.

When exporting All controller information, the controller configuration, the tightening programs, the settings, the results, and the events are exported for further processing. Part of the export is done both from the cable tool and from the connected wireless tools.

All data included in the export is stored in a file "PFExport_<IAM name>_<datetime (lowest value displayed for time is seconds)>.tar.gz", which includes the following files and directories:

  • "PFExport_<datetime>_Results.csv": All available results.

    The results are exported in a CSV formatted text file. The latest performed result is the first in the CSV file.

    It is possible to export the following result information for tightenings and loosenings:
