FIF Translator keeps historical log files that allow you to track the history of translations from FIF files. FIF Translator can search these files to find the latest program that was translated, then allow you to print formatted information about that file. The date and time are included, along with the part name, and the FIF comment field data.
You can quickly print this information, then include it with your other reports (like Supravision inspection reports) to prove the data used was the appropriate master set.
