Chapter 3 - Collecting and Reviewing Data
Overview of Collecting Data
This chapter describes how you collect data with the dataPAC. The dataPAC allows you to
collect data for points in a list (route) and for unscheduled data (points not defined in a
route). Once you collect your data, you can review the data using the dataPAC data display
functions. You can also print a screen capture using the Screen View Utility or print reports
with your computer software, such as EMONITOR Odyssey or Enshare or IQ2000.
For information about off route or analysis data collection, Chapter 6 “Off Route Analysis
with the dataPAC.”
This chapter covers all the tasks associated with collecting data. These topics include:
z
Connecting the transducer to the data collector.
z
Selecting the list.
z
Collecting data using the dataPAC.
z
Moving through a list.
z
Entering inspection codes.
z
Reviewing collected data.
z
Saving dataPAC screen shots.
When you finish collecting data, you can unload the data into your computer database files.
Preparing for Data Collection
There are several things you should do before you start collecting data with the dataPAC,
assuming you have already loaded at least one list (route) into the memory card. This
section discusses connecting the transducer and setting up the data collector options.
1.
Make sure you have a fully charged battery pack. See “Checking Battery Life” on
page 22.
2.
Check the date and time on the data collector. See “Setting the Data Collector Date and
Time” on page 46.
3.
Connect the transducer to the dataPAC. See “Connecting the Transducer to the Data
