ATA TO A
PC
The
HD37AB1347
instrument can be connected to a personal computer via an RS232C serial port
or USB port, and exchange data and information through the DeltaLog10 software (from version
0.1.5.0) running in a Windows operating environment. It is possible to print the measured values on
the HD40.1 printer (
ENTER
key), or store them in the internal memory using the
Logging
function
(MEM key). If necessary, the data stored in the memory can be transferred later to a PC.
5.1.1 Logging Function
The
Logging
function allows recording of the measurements registered by the probe connected to
the inputs. The time interval between two consecutive measurements can be set from 15 seconds to
1 hour. The logging starts by pressing the
MEM
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 items on chapter “
4. MAIN MENU
”.
If the automatic turning off option between two recordings (see par.
is enabled, upon pressing the
MEM
key the instrument logs the first data and
turns off. 1 minute 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 through the DeltaLog10 software (from
version 0.1.5.0). During data transfer the display shows the message DUMP; to stop the data
transfer press ESC on the instrument or on the PC.
5.1.2 Clearing the memory
To clear the memory use the Erase Log function (see par.
). 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 stored data remain in the memory independently of the 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 are enabled:
MEM
,
MENU
,
ENTER
and
ESC
.
•
Pressing the
MEM
and
MENU
keys has no effect on the logged data if these keys are pressed
after
starting the recording, otherwise the following is valid.
5.1.3 Print function
Press
ENTER
to send the measured data directly to the RS232 or USB port, in real time. The
printed data units of measurements are the same as those used on the display. The function is started
by pressing
ENTER
.
The time interval between two consecutive prints can be set from 15 second to 1 hour (please see
the
Print interval
menu item at par. 4.3.2 Print Interval). If the print interval is equal to 0, by
pressing
ENTER
a single data is sent to the connected device. If the print interval is higher than 0,
the data transfer continues until the operator stops it by pressing
ENTER
again.
NOTE: When setting the baud-rate, check the printer speed.
