Specific delete of individual measurement data types is also possible in the project management.<\/p>\n<p>By switching to another project (switching to a different installation), the above-mentioned settings and measurement data are completely retained in the old project. At a later change back, everything fits again immediately. Up to 100 projects can be created. The list of created projects is sorted by the assigned project names in alphabetical order.<\/p>\n<p>If you have created several projects, the name of the active project is displayed on the lock screen and in the Control Center.<\/p>\n<p>For example, the technician of a crane manufacturer wants to carry out measurements on a Series A crane. The crane has four CAN busses whose nodes have been defined in predefined node lists. While the assembly runs on CANopen, the motor and drive train are controlled as usual with an SAE J1939 bus. The subscriber lists can be predefined for both bus systems. It creates measurement archives, traces the traffic data and also takes individual screenshots.<\/p>\n<p>After the technician has completed his assignment, he is called to a Series B crane equipped with only 2 CAN busses.\u00a0 In his CANtouch, he switches to the &#8220;Series B&#8221; project and now receives a list of suitable nodes for this system. Because problems in the physical structure of the plant have been identified, the evaluation criteria are less strict and the corresponding setting is automatically applied. A symbol file exists for the body bus of this series and the technician can read the data on the CANtouch in decodes to plain text while doing a test run. A special reset sequence has been programmed for the series, the CANtouch can send this sequence to the system.<\/p>\n<p>While measurements are carried out in the &#8220;Series B&#8221; project, the data in the &#8220;Series A&#8221; project remain unaffected. Symbol files and transmission lists in&#8221; Project B&#8221; are not displayed in &#8220;Project A&#8221; because they would have no use there.<\/p>\n<p>The measurement data of the device are to be evaluated later.\u00a0<span style=\"white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: #f5f6f5;\">All measurement data of the first crane <\/span>are stored<span style=\"white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: #f5f6f5;\"> in the Projects &gt; Series A folder, while the measurement data of the second crane are stored in the Projects &gt; Series B folder.<\/span>\u00a0In older firmware versions, the data were not stored in separate folders but in the order in which they were created, which makes it difficult to assign them later.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-av_one_third-0aa7055fe62c3622faec82866afbaeb2\">\n.flex_column.av-av_one_third-0aa7055fe62c3622faec82866afbaeb2{\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\npadding:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-av_one_third-0aa7055fe62c3622faec82866afbaeb2 av_one_third  avia-builder-el-3  el_after_av_two_third  avia-builder-el-last  flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding  '     ><div  class='avia-builder-widget-area clearfix  avia-builder-el-4  avia-builder-el-no-sibling '><div id=\"rpwe_widget-4\" class=\"widget clearfix rpwe_widget recent-posts-extended\"><style>.rpwe-block ul{\r\nlist-style: none !important;\r\nmargin-left: 0 !important;\r\npadding-left: 0 !important;\r\n}\r\n\r\n.rpwe-block li{\r\nborder-bottom: 1px solid #eee;\r\nmargin-bottom: 10px;\r\npadding-bottom: 10px;\r\nlist-style-type: none;\r\n}\r\n\r\n.rpwe-block a{\r\ndisplay: inline !important;\r\ntext-decoration: none;\r\n}\r\n\r\n.rpwe-block h3{\r\nbackground: none !important;\r\nclear: none;\r\nmargin-bottom: 0 !important;\r\nmargin-top: 0 !important;\r\nfont-weight: 400;\r\nfont-size: 16px !important;\r\nline-height: 1.5em;\r\n}\r\n\r\n.rpwe-thumb{\r\nborder: 1px solid #eee !important;\r\nbox-shadow: none !important;\r\nmargin: 2px 10px 2px 0;\r\npadding: 3px !important;\r\n}\r\n\r\n.rpwe-summary{\r\nfont-size: 12px;\r\n}\r\n\r\n.rpwe-time{\r\ncolor: #bbb;\r\nfont-size: 11px;\r\n}\r\n\r\n.rpwe-comment{\r\ncolor: #bbb;\r\nfont-size: 11px;\r\npadding-left: 5px;\r\n}\r\n\r\n.rpwe-alignleft{\r\ndisplay: inline;\r\nfloat: left;\r\n}\r\n\r\n.rpwe-alignright{\r\ndisplay: inline;\r\nfloat: right;\r\n}\r\n\r\n.rpwe-aligncenter{\r\ndisplay: block;\r\nmargin-left: auto;\r\nmargin-right: auto;\r\n}\r\n\r\n.rpwe-clearfix:before,\r\n.rpwe-clearfix:after{\r\ncontent: &quot;&quot;;\r\ndisplay: table !important;\r\n}\r\n\r\n.rpwe-clearfix:after{\r\nclear: both;\r\n}\r\n\r\n.rpwe-clearfix{\r\nzoom: 1;\r\n}\r\n<\/style><h3 class=\"widgettitle\"><a href=\"https:\/\/gemac-fieldbus.com\/de\/faq\/\" title=\"Zur\u00fcck zur FAQ \u00dcbersicht\">Zur\u00fcck zur FAQ \u00dcbersicht<\/a><\/h3><div  class=\"rpwe-block\"><hr>\r\n<h3>Weitere FAQ zum CANtouch<\/h3><ul class=\"rpwe-ul\"><li class=\"rpwe-li rpwe-clearfix\"><h3 class=\"rpwe-title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/alt.gemac-fieldbus.com\/en\/30-days-trial-time\/\" target=\"_self\">30 days Trial Time<\/a><\/h3><\/li><li class=\"rpwe-li rpwe-clearfix\"><h3 class=\"rpwe-title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/alt.gemac-fieldbus.com\/en\/after-firmware-update-node-measurement-is-displayed-as-locked\/\" target=\"_self\">After firmware update, node measurement is displayed as locked<\/a><\/h3><\/li><li class=\"rpwe-li rpwe-clearfix\"><h3 class=\"rpwe-title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/alt.gemac-fieldbus.com\/en\/analyse-measurements-at-your-pc\/\" target=\"_self\">Analyze measurements at your pc<\/a><\/h3><\/li><li class=\"rpwe-li rpwe-clearfix\"><h3 class=\"rpwe-title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/alt.gemac-fieldbus.com\/en\/assignment-of-d-sub9-socket-on-cantouch-and-can-bus-tester-2\/\" target=\"_self\">Assignment of D-Sub9 socket on CANtouch and CAN-Bus Tester 2<\/a><\/h3><\/li><li class=\"rpwe-li rpwe-clearfix\"><h3 class=\"rpwe-title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/alt.gemac-fieldbus.com\/en\/background-picture\/\" target=\"_self\">Background Picture<\/a><\/h3><\/li><li class=\"rpwe-li rpwe-clearfix\"><h3 class=\"rpwe-title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/alt.gemac-fieldbus.com\/en\/can-bus-wiring-test\/\" target=\"_self\">CAN bus wiring test<\/a><\/h3><\/li><li class=\"rpwe-li rpwe-clearfix\"><h3 class=\"rpwe-title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/alt.gemac-fieldbus.com\/en\/can-symboleditor-manual\/\" target=\"_self\">CAN Symboleditor Manual<\/a><\/h3><\/li><li class=\"rpwe-li rpwe-clearfix\"><h3 class=\"rpwe-title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/alt.gemac-fieldbus.com\/en\/cantouch-does-not-recognize-baud-rate\/\" target=\"_self\">CANtouch does not recognize your special baud rate<\/a><\/h3><\/li><li class=\"rpwe-li rpwe-clearfix\"><h3 class=\"rpwe-title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/alt.gemac-fieldbus.com\/en\/cantouch-vs-can-bus-tester-2-the-decision\/\" target=\"_self\">CANtouch vs. CAN-Bus Tester 2, the decision<\/a><\/h3><\/li><li class=\"rpwe-li rpwe-clearfix\"><h3 class=\"rpwe-title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/alt.gemac-fieldbus.com\/en\/converting-cantouch-trace-files\/\" target=\"_self\">Converting CANtouch Trace Files<\/a><\/h3><\/li><li class=\"rpwe-li rpwe-clearfix\"><h3 class=\"rpwe-title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/alt.gemac-fieldbus.com\/en\/detection-of-short-circuits-in-the-can-bus-error-patterns\/\" target=\"_self\">Detection of short circuits in the CAN bus &#8211;
