Authorization
New Area Code for AES: 559-292-7851
The License / Authorization screen may list the phone number as 209-292-7851.
However, our new area code is now in effect. Our new area code is
559-292-7851.
Reauthorization
If you reinstall the AES Wave! you may also need to re-authorize the Wave!
even though it is inconvenient it is not unusual. Just call
559-292-7851 and we will authorize the program again.
Printing all Fields on Print outs
When you save a record into an AES Wave! database there are 9 fields plus the Date and
Memo fields that you can input a value into. You may have noticed that 4 of these
fields are not included on the printed page, these are: Test Point, Test Cond, Symptom,
and General ID. (These are the default names, you may have customized the names of these
fields when creating your database with the database wizard.)
To enable your program to print the
"missing" fields you will need to make changes to the INI file as instructed
below.
1. Open the AES Wave
2. Locate and open this file: c:\windows\aeswave.ini
3. Locate the section titled: PAGE
4. Scroll to the bottom of this section and add the following line: BCaption=-1
5. Make sure to type it in exactly as listed above and Be certain there is a blank line
separating this text from the section below it.
6. Save the file and exit the editor.
7. Print or Print Preview your records from the AES Wave! and you will see the
"missing" fields are now included on the printed page.
Uploading from
the AES Wave! to the iATN File Library
The quickest way to perform this procedure is to open the AES
Wave! and locate the record you want to upload.
Click on
the image to the right to see a screen capture from the AES Wave! with the filename highlighted. In this example, the image for
Record #14 has a file name of AESVAN14.JPG. (Click to enlarge the image and then click
BACK on your browser's toolbar to return to this page). Click here for instructions
for converting file to JPG or GIF.
Select the filename by clicking on it
as shown in the image above, then copy it using EDIT / COPY or the keyboard command CTL C.
This also copies the path for the file. In this example the path is:
C:\AESWAVE\DATABASE\AESVAN14.JPG.
The filename can now be pasted into
Step 1 of the iATN Upload screen (see below). Click your mouse inside the blank
fieldbox and use EDIT / PASTE or the keyboard command CTL V to insert the filename and
path into the fieldbox.
After pasting the path and clicking the BROWSE button on
Step 1 of the iATN File Upload Page your screen will look like the sample to the right.
(Click to enlarge the images and then click BACK on your browser's toolbar to return to
this page).
If you receive an ERROR message after clicking on the OPEN
button then I suggest that you locate your image file and click on it once (see image to
the right) and then click the OPEN button again. This should overcome the problem.
Continue with the remaining 3 steps on
the File Upload Page of the iATN site to complete the upload and watch your image from the
AES Wave! "magically appear" on the screen.
The results of my upload are saved in
my iATN File Library:

Brief Description: Image from AES Wave! by Carlos.
Send me a message if you can tell me
how to link to this upload
Troubleshooting the iATN file upload process:
1. The iATN File Library is only accepting these two file types: JPG or GIF.
Click here for
instructions for converting images in the AES Wave! to JPG or GIF files.
2. The iATN File Library will only
accept files that are 50 KB or less.
Do the following to determine if your file is small enough:
-- Open the Windows Explorer and click on TOOLS / FIND / FILES OR FOLDERS.
-- Paste the filename that you copied from the AES Wave! into the NAMED
field of the Find window.
-- Click on the FIND NOW button.
-- The size of the file should be listed when the file is found.
3. If you have trouble uploading images
even though your file is 50KB or smaller and the format is correct (JGP or GIF) then you
should try the following:
-- Select a second image file from the AES Wave! to upload. If this image loads then try
your first image again. If the second image does not load then. . . select an image
using the BROWSE button in Step 1 of the iATN File Upload screen to locate a third image
on your computer that is not saved within the AES Wave! If this third image loads then try
your first image again. If the third image does not load then. . . your internet
connection, browser or something else is not operating correctly. At this time I have no
other ideas on what to do, send me an e-mail or
call me: 559-292-7851 if you continue to have troubles with the upload.
Converting
images in the AES Wave! to JPG or GIF files
The AES Wave saves and opens many types of files including DGB and PRN
(these are the extensions used). To convert these files into GIF or JPG files, do
the following:
1.
Select the filename as illustrated in the image to the right. Click on the image to see a
screen capture from the AES Wave! with the filename
highlighted. In this example, the image for Record #14 has a file name of
AESVAN14.JPG. (Click to enlarge the image and then click BACK on your browser's toolbar to
return to this page).
2. Copy the filename using EDIT / COPY or the keyboard
command CTL C. This also copies the path for the file. In this example the
path is: C:\AESWAVE\DATABASE\AESVAN14.JPG.
3. Select FILE / OPEN and paste the filename into the
File Name field and press ENTER. This will open the image into a separate window
within the AES Wave! 4. Select FILE / SAVE AS and type in a new name for
your image using GIF or JPG as the extension (GIF is ideal for two color line drawings;
JPG is best for pictures).
5. Be sure to remember the name and path of the file you
just saved so you can find it again when you want to upload it to the iATN File Library.
6. NOTE: Create a new folder inside the AESWAVE folder to
save all your "converted" images.
