In the same way the route was uploaded to Freedom³, user can collects data by USB cable 
communication from Freedom³ to SQnet FTA. After data results are downloaded, SQnet FTA will 
display the status of every single tightening, the associated statistic, torque/time and torque/angle 
curves.

To work with Freedom³ PRW mode, user has to upload a route by SQnet FTA, in the following 
paragraphs  we will show how to start quickly to work with Freedom³ and SQnet FTA. 
With Freedom³ PRW is not possible to create program directly from the wrench.

PRW mode working with SQnet FTA 
 
 
Introduction: 
PRW mode is a firmware version of Freedom³ that allows user to work in remote way, 
programming Freedom³ from SQnet FTA software. 
In PRW mode is not possible to edit programs locally (only for Lab mode). 
To program Freedom³ is necessary to install SQnet FTA on PC. 
In the next paragraphs we will show you how send/receive a route (list of test) from/to SQnet FTA 
and how execute test. 
SQnet FTA 
 
 
As explained in the paragraph “Freedom³ PRW mode Tour”: 
SQnet FTA is an SCS software designed to program Freedom³ PRW mode.  
Note: In the following paragraph is explained how to setup SQnet FTA in order to program 
Freedom³. 
Before to start to work with Freedom³ users must install SQnet FTA on PC, once installed user has 
to:  
- Edit location and test (tree structure) 
- Edit a Route in SQnet FTA 
- Send the route to Freedom³ 
- Receive the route from Freedom³  
 
When  route is loaded on Freedom³, user can proceed to run: 
- SPC test 
- Cp/Cm Test 
- Tightening Strategies 
 
Once tests are completed: 
 
- Send back data (results and Curves) to SQ-Net 
- See results and curves in SQ-Net
