CD42 Pipeline Pig Location & Tracking System

Figure 60 Serial Interface Main Menu
This menu uses standard "highlight bar" selection, so simply pressing the "up arrow" and "down arrow"
keys on your keyboard should allow you to highlight one of the four possible selections. If you do not
receive the above menu after pressing ENTER, then you should first check your cabling and your
communications configuration. If these things seem to be correct, then verify that the batteries in the
CD42-R are functioning, and that the power is turned on. If you still have problems, please feel free to
contact the manufacturer listed on the title page of this manual for further assistance.
View/Transfer File Data
The View/Transfer File Data command can be used to permanently store a set of recording image
data to your personal computer. The image data is output in a platform independent manner called
"comma delimited text" or "comma separated values" (CSV). CSV files are very generic and
versatile and may be operated upon by a great many computer programs. Spreadsheet programs
such as Microsoft's Excel are capable of directly reading in these CSV files and rendering them back
into the original graphical data. This process is demonstrated below.
To select the View/Transfer File Data menu option, move the black highlight bar using the up and
down arrow keys so that it is highlighted black and press ENTER. The View/Transfer File Data
menu selection is displayed as shown in Figure 61.
