Retrieving Data
On instruments that have the USB Communications option, in addition to viewing the sample data
on the instrument, sample data can be transmitted from the J605 for analysis using the USB
connections on the back panel of the J605. Data may be transmitted directly to a PC, saved to a
USB drive plugged into the J605 or printed to an AZI printer connected to the J605. See the
for the specific data transmission options available. If the USB
Communications option has not been purchased, the USB ports will not be present. Contact your
AZI Sales Representative for information on the USB option.
The data is transmitted in a comma-delimited text file named “serialnumber.txt” (for example
60500019.txt) with a four-line header indicating the model and serial number of the instrument,
the date and time of the report, and the gas being detected. The first line of the data indicates the
contents of each data field, as shown below. The USB icon on the main screen will flash during
data transmission. If an instrument data file with the same filename already exists on the USB
drive, the current data will be appended to the existing file.
The data file will look like this example:
Jerome Model: J605-0001
Serial Number: 605-00019

Gas: H2S

•
The Temp field lists the internal temperature of the instrument in degrees Celsius at the
time of sampling.
•
The Type field lists a single letter code that indicates the type of sample taken, as follows:
M
:
Manual Sample
A
:
Auto Sample
S
:
Survey Mode Sample
R
:
Regeneration (indicates date and time of regeneration).
(
For regenerations, the sample value listed will always be 0.000 ppm.)
•
The Location field lists the location where the sample was taken, as set using
SET
LOCATION NAME
in the SAMPLE menu. See the
for more details. If Location Names are used and the data is output to a printer from the
J605, consecutive samples at the same location will be grouped together.
•
If the data is transmitted directly to a PC, there will be one additional line at the end of the
file indicating the number of records. This line will be in the form
[DATA:####]
