Projects and Jobs
Understanding Project and Job Structures: Managing Data, Reports, and Results in iCON Software
The iCON software allows the simple location and transfer of data between instrument, controller and office.
Imported reference and control data is stored in the iCON software, within individual Projects. Jobs can be created and carried out within these projects. Reports, measured data and calculated results are stored to the active job, ready for exporting.
