Data logging
The data logging option allows the SUB MkIIP to record up to 14000 sensor readings and to
output the stored data to a computer for analysis purposes.
An Analox utility installed on the computer allows the instrument to be configured to store any
combination of oxygen, carbon dioxide, depth or temperature at selected time intervals
varying from 10 seconds to 30 minutes.
The user could for instance opt to record just the carbon dioxide reading at 30 minute
intervals. In this case 14000 readings will provide an endurance of over 10 months.
Alternatively, the user could opt to record all four parameters at 10 second intervals, in which
case the endurance would be approximately 10 hours.
By choosing an appropriate interval, the user can store the maximum amount of information
over a chosen time period. If the data logging option is ordered the SUB MkIIP is factory set
to record all 4 parameters once every 5 minutes and to ignore newer data, this will provide
approximately 12 days of data storage to ensure all data from a DISSUB event is captured.
A cable is supplied to connect the SUB MkIIP to the serial port on a PC. The cable is fitted
with a 9 way female D-type connector. An adaptor will also be required if using a PC with a
25 way D-type connector. If the PC does not have serial port an Analox compatible USB to
serial adaptor would be required.

Installation of data logging software on a PC
The data logging software is compatible with IBM Personal Computers and compatibles
running Windows 95, 98, ME, 2000 or XP software (Note that administrator privileges are
required for correct installation when using Windows 2000 and XP systems).
1. Insert the software installation disk into the disk drive on your computer.
2. From the Start Menu on your desktop select RUN.
3. Type D:INSTALL.BAT or use the Browse feature to locate the file INSTALL.BAT on
the Disk Drive (assumed to be D:). When the file is installing an MSDOS type screen
will appear, this will disappear when installation is complete.
4. Install.Bat simply transfers the file DataLogInterface.exe to the directory C:\Analox
and creates a shortcut to this file.
5. Now move the shortcut to your desktop, by right hand clicking on the Shortcut file and
select Send To and then Desktop.
6. From your desktop now double click on the new shortcut Icon that you have just
created.
