The 12 DIP Switches located on the side of the Data Recorder perform the following functions:
A. Enable/Disable an input channel -
The first 8 DIP switches, as shown in the diagram, allow any
one of the 8 input channels to be enabled or disabled. The Data Recorder starts its scan with
channel # 1. If this channel is enabled, the Data Recorder will wait for incoming data. If this
channel is disabled, the Data Recorder will skip to channel # 2. The Data Recorder performs this
logic for each channel.
B. Enable/Disable the Time-out Period -
If the Time-out feature is set for 30 seconds, the Data
Recorder will monitor an enabled channel for 30 seconds. If data is not received within 30 seconds,
an error code will be placed in the RS-232 data string and the Data Recorder will skip to the next
enabled channel. Setting the Time-out Period for 30 seconds allows the Data Recorder to keep
scanning in the event there is a problem with an instrument or data line. Otherwise, the Data
Recorder will wait for data indefinitely.
C. Setting the Storage Time Interval -
The Storage Time Interval may be set to 1, 3, or 6 minutes.
The Storage Time Interval determines the Storage Capacity of the Data Recorder.

The Data Recorder will download data through the RS-232 Port to a P.C. The data is in a comma
delimited format. Electronics International's Data Recording Software (DRS-1) is designed to receive and
record this data to a file. Once the data has been stored on a P.C., any data base or spreadsheet program
may be used to read, organize, graph and manipulate this data. To download data, perform the following
steps:
