1.3 Twin GINA Programming Software

The Twin GINA programming software is used to program the digital control units
of Twin greasing systems, and to retrieve the information that is stored in those
units.
In this manual the features and settings of the GINA* programming software are
dealt with in the order in which the software presents them. To get acquainted
with the software, its features and the parameter settings, we advise first-time
users to adhere, if only once, to the sequence as presented in this manual. For
experienced users there is, of course, no reason whatsoever for such a rigid and
time consuming approach. They can go directly to the window or tab that contains
the information they want to view or the settings they wish to change.
* GINA stands for Groeneveld tester for INstallation and Analysis

6.1 Introduction
Each time a communications link is established with a control unit, an archive file
is created on the hard disk of the computer. The data is read from the control unit
and stored in that file twice: at the time the communications link is established and
just before the communications link is terminated. The resulting data file may be
used to determine which changes were made to the parameter settings of the
control unit during a particular programming/read-out session.
The files are stored in the DATA subfolder of the GINA software folder. The
filenames are compiled automatically, using the current date and a sequential
number.
6.2 Entering data of pump unit currently connected

When you select View reports from the Report menu, a window similar to the
