The  g-­‐View  uses  a  simple  set  of  iBuVons  to  communicate  with  the  unit  and  to  the  PC  with  a  blue  dot  iBuVon  reader  .    To  program  the  g-­‐View  with  a  journey  setup  you  first  need  to  create  a  setup  file  and  program  it  into  a  set  up  iBuVon  (GREEN  Key).  This  iBuVon  can  then  be  used  to  load  the  setup  into  the  g-­‐View  unit.  

Interface  with  your  g-­‐View  device  through  a  simple  Windows-­‐based  sodware  program.  Clear  instruc7ons  allow  users  to  create  journey  setup  files,  program  iBuVons,  and  view  recorded  data  in  a  secure  tabulated  format.  

AVach  g-­‐View  to  the  product  ready  for  its  collec7on  and  delivery    When  the  product  is  knocked  above  the  predetermined  threshold,  the  alarm  will  flash  red  and  the  impact  will  be  recorded.    Each  axis  will  record  up  to  100  7me  and  date  specific  events  per  axis  ready  for  the  informa7on  to  be  downloaded  and  analysed  at  a  later  date.

Downloading  data  is  as  simple  as  applying  the  download  iBuVon  (RED  key)  to  the  iBuVon  contact  on  the  g-­‐View  unit.  

g-View Essentials Training Manual

Preparing the g-View Unit Before a g-View unit can be used to monitor a journey, it needs to be powered with an AA battery cell, the clock set and a Setup needs to be programmed into the g-View unit using the iButtons programmed earlier in this manual. AA Battery To fit the battery remove the four Phillips screws securing the battery cover to the base of the g-View unit; insert a new AA battery, (Alkaline), ensure the correct orientation; replace the battery cover and screws. The green On LED will now illuminate for approximately 40 Seconds, after which it will flash to indicate normal operation. Configuration Apply the Clock iButton, programmed above, to the iButton contacts on the g-View unit; after a few seconds, the On LED will illuminate, to indicate that the g-View has detected the iButton; and a few seconds later the OK LED will illuminate, to indicate that the date and time has been updated in the g-View unit. Next apply the Setup iButton to the g-View unit; again the On LED will illuminate; followed a few seconds later by the OK LED, to indicate that the Setup has been transferred from the iButton to the g-View. The g-View unit is now ready to monitor your journey. If at this stage you are testing the g-View operation prior to real use; try dropping the g-View unit onto a mouse mat a few times to simulate journey shocks, try to drop it on all sides to pick up all of the 3 axis. Note: You should only have to drop the unit from about 2 – 4 cm height to trigger the alarm. Now download and view the data following the instructions below. Downloading Journey Data To download the Journey data from the g-View, apply a cleared Download iButton (RED key) to the iButton contacts on the g-View unit; after a few seconds, the On LED will illuminate, to indicate that the g-View has detected the iButton, and the g-View will start downloading data to the iButton; if a lot of Events have been recorded by the g-View, this can take some time; once the data has been downloaded to the iButton, the OK LED will illuminate. Remove the Download iButton from the g-View unit, and insert it into the USB iButton adaptor; start the g-View application, and open the iButton Interface dialog, as described above.

Remove  the  download  iBuVon  from  the  g-­‐View  unit,  and  insert  it  into  the  USB  iBuVon  adaptor.  Start  the  g-­‐View  applica7on  sodware,  open  the  iBuVon  Interface  dialog  box,  click  on  Download  to  start  downloading  the  Journey  data  from  the  iBuVon.    

g-­‐view  –  impact  monitor  Evalua7ng  Journey  Data?    

The  following  informa7on  will  be  presented:      

•  Date/Time  of  Event  

•  Event  Number  

•  Temperature  

•  X  Axis  g  value    

•  Y  Axis  g  value    

•  Z  Axis  g  value    

g-­‐view  –  impact  monitor  Evalua7ng  Journey  Data?    

When  selec7ng  the  All  tab,  you  will  be  presented  with  all  of  the  Events  recorded  during  the  journey.  Selec7ng  any  of  the  individual  axis  tabs  you  will  only  be  presented  with  the  Events  associated  with  that  axis.  However,  all  the  same  informa7on  will  be  displayed  and  it  is  possible  that  any  individual  event  could  appear  on  more  than  one  of  the  tabs  as  it  breached  more  than  one  of  the  axis  thresholds  in  a  single  event.  

When  any  Event  value  exceeds  the  impact  threshold  limit  entered  in  Setup  for  the  journey  they  are  shown  in  red  and  where  values  have  reached  or  exceeded  the  g-­‐View  units  recording  limits,  defined  by  the  products  range  (e.g.  10g),  the  Event  data  is  underlined  as  well  as  in  red.
