Page 3: Safety Information
There will be a new Logitrace icon on the desktop after the installation process is complete Connect the supplied USB lead between the PC and the Logitrace interface and switch- on power to the interface. The PC should now recognise that new hardware is connected and search for the correct drivers (these have been installed from the CD). -
Page 4: Initial Setup
Initial Setup The Options Menu allows the user to select the most suitable settings for application. previous settings will be recalled when the system is started-up. The measurement units can be either Metric [millimetre (mm) or micro- metre (um)] or Imperial [inches (ins.) micro-inches (μins.)] roundness chart will be shown in red... -
Page 5: Preparing To Trace
Preparing to Trace Selecting the menu item Setup or clicking on the Setup Icon (fifth from left) brings up a dialog box showing the deflection of the stylus and allowing control of magnification and an aid to centring. Ensure that the stylus setting is correct before attempting to centre the component. -
Page 6: Taking The Trace
achieved, the work piece is centred as well as roundness will allow and a measurement can be undertaken. 10. If the pointer moves outside the green area (and into the red) then the magnification must be reduced or you must make further attempts to improve the centring. -
Page 7: Examining The Trace
Examining the Trace You can test the roundness of the traced components against any (or all) of the reference standards. The software will calculate the centre of the trace according to the standard chosen and redraw the trace on the new centre. This causes any undulations or irregularities to appear slightly differently but angles and amplitudes are maintained. -
Page 8: Omission Of Data
Omission of Data When you have a component with a feature which is unavoidable to trace but which should not be included in the roundness calculation then the data for the feature can be omitted from the overall trace. To do this, press the Data Omission icon or select Set Omission Points from the Options menu. -
Page 9: Selecting The Datum
Selecting the Datum The spindle or centre of the turntable is the Datum for the majority of measurements. However, some applications require that one section or part of the component is to be used as the datum or reference point for another nominally concentric section or part. To carry out this measurement, you must first trace the reference section in the normal manner. -
Page 10: Changing Magnification Or Filter
Changing Magnification or Filter You may change the magnification and/or the filter AFTER the trace has been taken. You can use the Options menu and select Change Magnification/Filter Settings or you can click on the icon. Be careful not to increase the magnification to such an extent that the trace goes outside of the chart area or the reference circle will not be valid. -
Page 11: Saving Results
The Initial Customisation tab allows you to print your company name on the printout as well as specify identification headings for the components. Up to eight different headings can be used. Once this has been set, it is remembered by the system and need not be changed again. The Further Print Options allows you to enter the name of the customer and fill in the component identifications against the headings that have already... -
Page 12: Electromagnetic Precautions
It is essential that the mains supply to the system is fused externally to no more than 13A, and that the cabling supplying power to the Logitrace Interface Unit is rated for at least 3A. Low voltage signal cables should not be run in the same conduit or twisted or tied to cables carrying voltages in excess of 50V (a.c. - Page 13 Copyright Logitech Electronics Limited 2020 Document No: Logitrace_hb-uk.doc v2.0 15 June 2020 Warranty Interface units carry a two year warranty that is only valid where there is no Logitrace damage caused by accident, negligence, mis-application, or repairs / modifications attempted by unauthorised personnel.
