Data Transfer from DeFelsko Instruments

There are three primary methods to transfer measurement data from your DeFelsko instrument to a computer or other device:

1. PosiSoft Desktop Software (PC Windows and Mac)

PosiSoft Desktop is a software application designed to seamlessly import, store, and process measurement data from DeFelsko instruments into your PC or Mac (Windows 10/11 or macOS 10.15 or later). It also enables you to generate detailed reports.

Key features of PosiSoft Desktop include data management and analysis, report generation, data visualization, data export (CSV, Excel, or PDF), and data security.

This software is compatible with all PosiTector, PosiTest AT, and PosiTest PC models. You can download PosiSoft Desktop for free here: [link].

To import data into PosiSoft Desktop:

  • Open the PosiSoft Desktop software on your PC or Mac.
  • For PosiTector Advanced Body devices, enable Wi-Fi and connect to your PC or Mac.
  • Once connected, the PosiTector will appear in the software.
  • Click "Sync" to automatically display the data.
  • Alternatively, click "Import" to manually import data into the software.

The software will then display a visual representation of the test data, allowing for further analysis. Click "Save" to download the file.

 

2. PosiTector App (iOS and Android)

The PosiTector app is a mobile application for iOS and Android devices that allows you to import, store, and process measurement data from DeFelsko instruments. It is compatible with PosiTector Advanced, PosiTector Smartlink, and PosiTest AT-A.

With the PosiTector app, you can easily back up data without the need for an account, compile single or multi-batch reports from various probes and instrument types, add images, screenshots, and notes, and instantly share PDF reports via email, AirPrint, Dropbox, and many other features.

To import data into the PosiTector app:

  • Download the PosiTector app from the App Store or Google Play Store.
  • Turn on Bluetooth on your smartphone.
  • Open the PosiTector app, and your DeFelsko instrument will be automatically detected.
  • Click "Memory - Batch Import" to select and open the desired measurement batch.

 

3. PosiSoft USB (No Internet Required)

All PosiTector instruments come equipped with an integrated PosiSoft USB drive, allowing you to retrieve data in a manner similar to a USB flash drive, camera, or digital audio player. Data transfer via PosiSoft USB can be done without the need for software installation or an internet connection.

Any computer can view and download measurements (batches) stored in the memory by exploring the virtual drive labeled "PosiTector" using a USB cable.

With PosiSoft USB, you can easily view and print data and graphs, import data into supporting applications such as spreadsheets, perform simple data management (copy and paste measurement data from PosiTector to a local computer folder), and more.

The PosiSoft USB drive is integrated with all PosiTector SPG/DPM/6000/200/UTG/SST/SHD/RTR/PC instruments with both Standard and Advanced probes.
