1. Introduction
Thank you for purchase of our GIRS model GS-188 Garment Inspection and Reporting
System. Our product and software is intended to be used in the inspection process of
manufactured garments. For the best result of our system, please read this manual
carefully and follow the instructions step by step.
The product can be used on a stand-alone or networked multi-user environment.
The application software is designed to be simple and user-friendly. However, as it
involves selection of proper computer configuration and installation of software
programs, it would require relevant computer knowledge. It is strongly
recommended for you to consult your computer or IT staff to select and set-up the
correct network and hardware configuration so that the system can achieve the best
efficiency.
The digital measuring tape and software program are specially and uniquely designed
for this system. The manufacturer does not guarantee proper function and
performance of this system if other measuring device or software program were
being used.

7. Network Application
GIRS is designed to run on both stand-alone and multi-user networked
environment.
In case of a networked environment, two or more computers can be linked up by
LAN (Local Area Network) through a HUB or a wireless router. All GIRS data will be
saved in the hard disk of the host Server computer, and can be accessed and
viewed from any one of the computers.
Only one computer (the host Server) need to install the SQL Server and the GIRS
program. The other computers (Inspection stations) need only to install the GIRS
program; and the data in the host Server can be shared among computers in the
same network.
Please consult your IT staff or external IT experts to support in setting up the
network.
68
7. Network Application (cont.)
A typical example of network setup is shown below.
69

71
8. Data Maintenance
All GIRS data (users, specifications, measurement reports) are stored in the hard disk
drive of your computer (stand-alone) or the server (networked). In order to protect
your data, we strongly advise you to back up your data by an external hard disk drive
at a regular period.
Please consult your IT staff or external IT experts on how to back up your data.
72
9. Trouble Shooting and Services
Cannot power on your measuring tape
Check if the batteries are placed into the battery compartment correctly.
Make sure the batteries are at correct polarity and with good contact to the
metal terminals.
Replace the batteries with new ones.
Reading on display unit is not correct
Check if there is any residual value on the display unit when tape is fully
retracted. If not, set the residual reading to “0.0” by pressing the ZERO key
switch.
Data cannot be transferred to your computer
Check if the USB receiver is correctly plugged onto your computer.
Check if the LED on the USB receiver lights on. If not, you may need to
replace your USB receiver.
Check if you have used another USB receiver of another measuring tape.
Check the serial number on the labels of the USB receiver and inside the
battery compartment of the measuring tape. The two serial numbers should
73
9. Trouble Shooting and Services (cont.)
be the same. If not, you must have mixed up the USB receiver and you have
to find the correct USB receiver.
Return the measuring tape to your agent or distributor if the above steps cannot
solve your problem.
Do not attempt to open up the measuring tape and repair by yourself. This will
void the warranty as provided by the manufacturer.
