Uploading Data to WebTMA

Once the tests are performed and the results of each test are saved to the medTester memory, you can transfer the test results to WebTMA. When the files are received, the automatically generated PM work orders are updated with current test information; labor lines are completed; and the PM work order is closed.

1. Launch the WebTMA medTester application.
2. Set the medTester unit to Menu 1, and, if necessary, ping the medTester. For instructions, see Pinging the medTester. The test must be successful before you can send the test results.
3. Click the Upload Results button. The following prompt always reminds you to check the connection with the prompt: "Is your medTester device connected to a COM port and ready?"
4. Click Yes if you have already checked the connections, i.e., pinged the medTester.

The WebTMA medTester Link module sends a command to the medTester unit to transfer a .mup file to the MT directory, and the Select import file window opens before the file transfer is completed. Wait until all files are transferred.

Watch the upper right corner of the monitor for a progress message.

The system returns a message when the transfer is concluded. The message includes the number of errors. Log in to WebTMA to see the error information at Admin > medTester Exception. See medTester Exceptions for details.

The .mup file name is numeric (e.g., 08101312.mup), and the format follows this convention:

Month (08), date (10), and time in hours and minutes (1312)

Note that the hours are expressed in military or 24-hour time.

The topic Processing .mup File shows how the uploaded information is handled.
