14. Log to Memory Menus: This submenu enables the
GasFinderFCr to be used as a data logger. The storage capacity
is 131,072 samples. Recording a data point every second will give
over 36 hours of recording. If the average is set to one minute
using the
Average Window set to 58, then the recording time is
nearly 3 months.
Wrap
The data can be stored in the buffer in a wrap -around mode where
data overwrites the initial records when the memory is full. Thus
only the latest data is recorded.
Fill
Alternatively, if the fi ll mode is used, the data will fi ll the buffer and
once full no new data will be captured.
Downloading
The buffer can be downloaded to a computer using GasView2 or
a terminal program such as Hyperterminal.
For a large download
the baud rate on both the GasFinderFCr and the computer should be
set to a high value in order to keep the memory download time to a
reasonable level.
Powering Off
Powering off the GasFinderFCr off does not erase the data. The
data log is only cleared using Clear Log in the Log Menus option.
For more detailed instructions on using the Log Menus options,
see Appendix F.
