Full memory. Acquisitions end when the full memory capacity is reached. Pressing the Stop Now button also ends
acquisitions.
The Acquisitions screen has also an important group of information about the logger and acquisitions:
Current Time: Displays current date and time used by the computer.
Logger Time: Displays current date and time used by the logger.
Logging Available Memory: Displays the total memory capacity for the logger.
Programmed Number of Acquisitions: Indicates the number of acquisitions that will be performed and logged in memory. It is also
possible to check the number of acquisitions per channel enabled.
Programmed Number of Base Intervals: Informs the minimum interval between programmed acquisitions
Estimated time: Informs time required to complete the programmed acquisitions.
After setting up the logger and estimating possible implications, the user must send the configuration to the logger. Press Apply.
To send and leave the configurator software, press OK. To leave the configuration without sending to the logger, press Cancel.
Note: When the new configuration is sent, the logger time is updated, adopting the computer time (date and hour).
COMMUNICATION SCREEN
This screen is showed even when there is no communication between logger and computer. It provides parameters related to
system communication. Its fields are:
Host Parameters (HP) – Provides a choice for the serial communication port to be used.
Network Operation – Makes possible to define a new communication address and baud rate for the logger. Define values and press
Change. If connected, it makes possible to read the complete configuration of a given logger. It is only necessary to select the
required address and press Read Configurations. The configurator starts to display the selectedlogger configuration on the screen.
Parity – Makes possible to define parity used in serial communication. The number of Stop Bits as recommended by the Modbus
standard depends on parity. When parity is configured as none, 2 stop bits are used; when parity is configured as Odd or Even, 1
stop bit is used.
Note: Baud rate and parity must be the same for all the network elements.
Automatic Search – Makes possible to search the connected logger communication parameters, in a point-to-point communication,
testing all possibilities of addresses and possible transmission rates (baud rate). After the parameters are found, they are displayed.
