CONFIGURATION
The first time the software is opened a password will need to be entered. Once a
password has been entered, the Configuration window will come up.
After the initial launch of the software, whenever a new type of data logger is connected
to the PC, the correct data logger will have to be selected from the Configuration
window. From the Options menu, select Configuration to bring up the Configuration
window.
In the Graph tab, choose the desired temperature units and other graph options.
In the Device tab, select the correct logger by clicking the button displaying the device
icon matching the logger you are using.
Set up the logger by inserting the Series BDL Button Data Logger into the button
adapter and connecting the adapter to the PC.
From the Logger Operations menu, select Issue Logger to bring up the Issue Window.
Enter the relevant parameters into the operating software such as sample rate, alarm
parameters, etc.
INITIAL SETTING
The first time a logger is set, you will be prompted to enter an Owners Manifest and
a Passcode. This is the only time you will be asked for this information and it cannot
subsequently be changed.
Owners Manifest is a label for the logger normally used to record details of the owner
and/or details related to the logger such as date purchased, shipment, application, etc.
If the default Passcode is changed, and if it is lost, not even the factory can retrieve it.
If this happens then the logger cannot be issued ever again. It is recommended that
the Passcode NOT be changed.
DOWNLOAD DATA
Connect the button adapter to the PC.
Insert the Series BDL into the button adapter, and from the Logger Operations menu,
select Read Logger.
Data is then presented graphically. At this stage, data can be saved to the computer.
ALARMS
Within the Issue Window, click the Alarm/LED Blink tab to enter the high and low Alarm
Set Points. The high and low Alarm Delays state how long the logger has to be in an
alarm state before it is registered as an alarm.
The alarms are armed the first time the temperature is in a non-alarm range. However,
if Delayed Start is enabled, then the alarms are armed as soon as it starts logging on
the specified date and time.
LOGGER NAMING/LABELING
Within the Issue Window, click the Manifest Text tab. The User Manifest is a label for
the logger that takes up to 450 characters and can be changed every time the logger
is set.
The Owner Manifest is set the first time the logger is set.
MAINTENANCE
Upon final installation of the Series BDL Button Data Logger, no routine maintenance
is required.
Fast logging will considerably shorten the battery life. To preserve battery life, it is
recommended to use the longest practical sampling rate, and when the logger is not in
use, to set the sampling rate to the longest option.
A periodic check of system calibration is recommended. The Series BDL is not
field serviceable and should be returned if repair is needed (field repair should not
be attempted and may void warranty). Be sure to include a brief description of the
problem plus any relevant application notes. Contact customer service to receive a
return goods authorization number before shipping.
Issuing the parameters erases all data currently stored in the
logger.
