Data Memory
During the cycle, all measured values can be manually or automatically stored in
an EEPROM. The memory capacity is, as standard, 1024 Kilobyte, which allows
up to 200.000 measured values. The memory organisation can be configured as
linear or ring memory.The output can be carried out via the display or the interface.
It is possible to specify a selection according to a time interval or number.
Numbering of Measurements
By entering a number, single scans or entire series of measurements can be
identified and selectively read out from the memory.
Control Outputs
Via keyboard and interface allows to individually trigger up to 4 output relays
and one analog output.
Operation
All measuring and function values can be displayed in different menus on the
dot matrix LCD display. 3 user menus can be individually configured from nearly
50 functions for your specific applications. Using texts, lines and blank lines al-
lows to format the display in an application-specific style. Nine keys (four of them
are soft keys) can be used to operate the device. This also allows you to fully
program the sensors, the device and the process control.
Output
All data logs, menu functions and stored measured values and programmed
parameters can be provided as output to any peripheral equipment. Various in-
terface cables can be used to provide a RS232, RS422, Centronics or Ethernet
interface. The output of measuring data can be selected in list format, columns
or spreadsheet format. Files in spreadsheet format can be processed by each
spreadsheet software. The print header can be programmed specifically to the
company or application.
Networking
All ALMEMO® devices can be addressed and can be easily networked by
simply linking them using network cables, or RS422 network distributors for
longer distances.
Software
The ALMEMO
®
Control software, which allows for the entire programming of the
sensors, the configuration of the measuring instrument, of the user menus and
the read-out of the data memory is supplied with each ALMEMO®manual. The
integrated terminal also allows for online measurements. The WINDOWS® soft-
ware WINControl is available for data acquisition of networked devices, graph-
ical presentation and complex data processing.
