Counter Data Importer

How Counter Data Importer Works?

The Counter Data Importer works by counting the Import File records you restore and the Restored WIPs you bring back. Open a saved project file, read the counts and enter them into the matching counter.

1. 1

   Open the backup

   Open the saved project file in a text editor or notes app.

2. 2

   Find the counts

   Find the stitch and row numbers in the file.

3. 3

   Enter the counts

   Open the matching tool and tap or step the counts back to those numbers.

4. 4

   Log the restore

   Tap the count pad or press Space per file, and press → per project restored.

Counter Data Importer Formula

The Counter Data Importer formula is taps to restore = ⌊count ÷ 10⌋ + count mod 10 using Step by 10 then Step by 1.

Taps

T = ⌊C ÷ 10⌋ + C mod 10

C is the saved count.

Projects restored

P = Restored WIPs

P is the WIPs brought back.

Check

Restored count = saved count

Compare both numbers before you continue.

Worked example: A saved row count of 286 takes 28 taps at Step by 10 plus 6 taps at Step by 1, 34 taps in all.

Counter Data Importer Conversion Table
