1.2 Software overview

The gSKIN® U-value software is built upon a home screen with 5 functional buttons and 2 top-menu buttons (see Figure 2).

5 functional buttons in the centre of the home screen:

  1. Real time measurement: This button allows the user to review all data points measured by the sensors of the U-value KIT (temperature, heat flux, calculated U-value) in real-time. With this menu-screen, one cannot start a new U-value measuring process – it can only be used once for reviewing all sensors that are working and to show their real-time values.
  2. Start logging: From here, you can start your measuring process. Before starting, please select the frequency at which you would like to log your data points and when you want to start the measurement process (logger stores up to two million data points; for details, please refer to Appendix B).
  3. Read record: Via this button, you can select measurement files that have been saved on your logger for further analysis (e.g. export raw data, print PDF reports).
  4. Analyse record: Here, you can search for other logger protocol files (*.msr) which have been saved on your computer.
  5. Exit: This button will close the program.

Two top-menu buttons:

  1. Menu-button “File“: This button can be used to end the program (“Exit”), to export data while you review data points in the “Read record” tab or change the language.
