3 INTRODUCTION
SMART Data is a system to allow the user to improve his existing Innovative Technology
Datasets.
Using this system the user can also create an entirely new dataset for ITL validators with
previously uncollected banknotes.
4 STRUCTURE

Once the registration is complete, the user will be sent a confirmation link by email. “Once
this has been clicked, the account is active and the user can login to the login section.
Then the user can download the PC collection Software by navigating to the MENU (on
the left side of the Window) and click on “Download Software”
The SMART Data install file will then be downloaded to your PC.
SMARTData-x.x.x.x.exe
6 PC DATA COLLECTION
6.2 Installation:
Run the exe install file. This is a self-extracting zip file which will automatically run the
setup process. If the users PC does not have Microsoft .NET framework or other essential
components installed, they will be downloaded from the vendors site and prompted to be
installed. After this, the SMART Data install system will run.
If a previous version of SMART Data is installed, it will be necessary to remove this
installation before updating to the latest version.
The system will install to a user menu 'ITL Smart Tools' with the icon SMART Data.
The first time the software is run the user is required to enter his registration user name.
This is to allow the system to identify the submitted collection jobs and it only happens the
first time the system is started. An internet connection is required for this stage.
The system will check registration details against those held on the ITL server and then
move to the device screen.
This stage checks for a connected ITL SSP validator. If one is not connected the system will
prompt the user to connect one and retry. The system cannot move forward until a device is
detected.
The system now presents the user with a list of collection options:
On the left hand panel a list of the banknotes the user is collecting is displayed. This can be
added to by clicking on the Click here to add a new denomination link .
The user can select the note he is collecting by clicking on one of the notes in this list.
The banknotes consists of four 'Faces'. It is important to collect each of these faces
separately :
Face-up face first (FUFF) - The main 'head' feature of the banknote is upwards and towards
the front of the note.
Face-up face last (FUFL) - The main 'head' feature of the banknote is upwards and towards
the back of the note.
Face-down face first (FDFF) - The main 'head' feature of the banknote is downwards and
towards the front of the note.
Face-down face last (FDFL) - The main 'head' feature of the banknote is downwards and
towards the back of the note.
If it is unclear where the main head feature of the note is, the user should take the best
option and stick to it in his collection. It is more import that the faces are separate and
consistent for each face collection.
Clicking on the face will enable the connected validator for note collection.
The user can now enter the banknotes for each face. The counters will increment at each
insertion.
If a mistake is made, the user can click the 'Delete Last Note' button to remove the last
note from the collection.
The user can add any comments about his collection by entering them into the comment
box on the left hand side.
In order for the SMART Data system to create a good dataset modification it requires a
minimum number of banknote examples with which to work with.
Basically, the greater the number of notes entered in a larger number of validators the
better the result will be.
The system requires a minimum of 30 banknote readings per face collected in order for a
submission to be allowed. The recommended collection for the best results would be 100 -
180 notes per face spread across 6 different validators.
When the user is happy with his entire collection (all problem denominations and faces
collected) the user can submit the collection to ITL.
At this stage, the user's PC must have an internet connection.
Click on the Submit collection link in the bottom left corner of the screen.
The system will attempt to submit the job to the SMART Data server and will return a
confirmation screen when this has been done. If the submission fails, the user can retry at
a later time.
After a successful submission, the PC software will close.
The user can check the job progress on his website account page.
The SMART Data job can take anything from 2 hours to 2 days to complete. Upon
completion the system will email the user at the user's address given at registration with a
link to enable download to the user PC of the completed ITL dataset files.
