STORING
AND
TRANSFERRING
DATA
TO
A
PERSONAL
COMPUTER
The HD2102.1 and HD2102.2 instruments can be connected to a personal computer via an RS232C
serial port, and exchange data and information through the DeltaLog9 software running in a
Windows operating environment. The HD2102.2 can also use the USB connection. Both models
can send in real time input measured values directly to a PC, through the PRINT function; the
HD2102.2 can also store the values measured by using the
Logging
function (LOG key) in its
internal memory. If necessary, the data stored in the memory can be transferred to a PC later.

OGGING
FUNCTION
-
ONLY FOR
HD2102.2
The
Logging
function allows the recording up to 38,000 measurements registered by the probe
connected to the input. The time interval between two consecutive measurements can be set from 1
second to 1 hour. The logging starts by pressing the LOG key and ends by pressing the same key
again: the data memorized in this way form a continuous block of data.
See the description of the menu item on page 9.
If the automatic turning off option between two recordings (menu >>
Sleep_Mode_LOG)
is
enabled, upon pressing the LOG key the instrument logs the first data and turns off. 15 seconds
before the next logging instant, it turns on again to capture the new sample, and then turns off.
The data stored in the memory can be transferred to a PC using the DUMP LOG command: press
the MENU key until the “>>>_LOG_DUMP_or_ERAS” item is displayed and then press on LOG
key. During data transfer the display shows the message DUMP; to stop the data transfer press ESC
on the instrument or on the PC.
C
LEARING THE MEMORY
-
ONLY FOR
HD2102.2
To clear memory use the Erase
Log function (the MENU key until the
“>>>_LOG_DUMP_or_ERAS” item is displayed and then the SERIAL/EraseLOG key).
The instrument starts clearing the internal memory; at the end of the operation, it goes back to
normal display.
NOTES:
•
Data transfer does not cause the memory to be erased; the operation can be repeated as many
times as required.
•
The logged data remain in memory apart from battery charge conditions.
•
In order to print the data to a parallel interface printer, you must use a parallel-serial adaptor (not
supplied).
•
The direct connection between instrument and printer via a USB connector does not work.
•
Some keys are disabled during logging. The following keys work: HOLD, FUNC (Max-Min-
Avg) and SERIAL.
•
Pressing the HOLD, REL and FUNC keys has no effect on the logged data if these keys are
pressed
after
starting the recording, otherwise the following is valid.
•
The recording started with the display in HOLD mode proceeds normally with the actual
measured values (that is, not in “HOLD” mode). Only the display is frozen to the values present
when the HOLD key was pressed.
•
The same is true for the Max-Min-Avg function.
•
If the logging is started when the display is in REL mode, the relative values are logged.
•
It is possible to activate both the logging (LOG) and direct transfer (PRINT) functions at the
same time.
