Using the Optional Data Recorder

Note:
The instructions here apply only to instruments
equipped with a Data Recorder including a SD card.
When installed and activated, the data recorder
option allows users to create Data Recorder files,
store thickness readings (and accompanying
A-Scans when desired), and navigate through file
contents. In this chapter you’ll learn how to
• Create Data Recorder files (Section 5.1)
• Recall and erase Data Recorder files (Section 5.2)
• Store thickness readings in Data Recorder files
(Section 5.3)
• Store A-Scans in Data Recorder files (Section 5.3.1)
• Navigate Data Recorder file locations to store or
delete readings (Section 5.3.2)
• Print reports (Section 5.4)
5.1 Creating a New Data
Recorder File
To create a new Data Recorder file, you need to
specify a file name and top and bottom position. In
most cases, however, you’ll wish to enter additional
information. Parameters that can be adjusted during
the file-naming process include:
• The first (TOP) and last (BOTTOM) positions in the
Data Recorder file (Figure 5-2 describes how these
define the number of locations in the new file)
• The ADVANCE DIRECTION (described in Figure 5-2)
• NOTES related to the data file
Follow
Steps 1 through 5 in Figure 5-1 to create a new
Data Recorder file.

Note:
Once created, the file name and size parameters
can NOT be edited. Only the ADVANCE DIRECTION
parameter and NOTES contents can be modified. To
accomplish this, first select the file then activate and
modify the parameter.
