This Program is a work in progress to explore ways to measure, analyse, record and report eTarget errors.
I think the methods of visualizing, recording, fitting via software and reporting presented here are close to the final but methods to facilitate target measurements will change. I have added a method of using a mouse in conjunction with a very large monitor to accurately measure and painlessly transfer measurements into this program. The availability of very large monitors means that an A3 can easily be accommodated.
It may be all you need unless you wish to test and measure larger areas. Large flat TV sets will handle much larger.
Download (bottom right arrow). Unzip. Place the entire Dir in C: drive.
Click on the exe file to start.
There are some actual eTarget tests included. One contains deliberately mismatched pairs so you may try the Auto Point Sort function.
I have removed most junk and experimental files and gathered the remaining ones into some sort of order.
Keeping relevant Target Test files in a usable order will be a major challenge. To aid in this, a viewing option is now available for you to bulk load many test files.
Additionally, Radial distribution of errors and the X and Y components are also displayed as radial or diametrical errors.
It is easy to change the screen scale so the errors shown on screen closely represent actual error size. This will help explain the result to others.
For advanced users, a Histogram display and analysis has been added.
Now added is a facility to pick out positions of shots direct from a Hexta Log file.
You may now download the program ONLY without auxiliary files.
An exercise is also included. It contains a simulated Target Test Sheet and a corresponding Hexta Log file. This simulation may be run on a small computer with reduced accuracy but it describes all steps so you can practice the procedure.
Also, a general document on Target Testing using the Mouse/Monitor system is included.
HexDebugProject is very much experimental. It investigates some of the information in Hexta Debug Files with a view to deciding when target membrane repair is needed.
