The digital storage of cycle data replaces the need
for a traditional paper printer.
To view and print the files, transfer the files on to a
PC using the USB memory stick.
14.1 Install the software
Suitable for use with Windows® XP, 2000, Vista, and 7.
Requires one USB port.
Disconnect the PC from the internet and any local
area network (to prevent Windows® from installing the
incorrect drivers).
Ensure there is no USB connection between the PC
and the autoclave.
1. Insert the supplied USB memory stick that contains
the Cycle Logger Application Software in to your
PC. Follow the Installation Wizard’s instructions.
If an older version is found, it will be uninstalled first.
After this, remove and replace the USB memory
stick to restart the installation.
2. When the Wizard has finished, remove the USB
memory stick and shut down your PC.
3. Restart your PC.
The installation process is complete.
There is now a shortcut on your desktop
to open the software.
14.2 Create a PC back-up
On a regular basis, (e.g. weekly), it is sensible to back-
up your data from the USB memory stick to your PC,
putting it into a back-up folder on your PC desktop.
To create the back-up folder, right-click on the desktop
and select
New , then Folder .
Type in the name of the new folder. We suggest
SES 2010 . If you are backing-up more than one unit,
you may want to add the unit’s Serial Number to the
title as well.
To back-up the files:
1. Insert the USB memory stick directly into the USB
port on your PC.
2. A window will appear saying AUTOCLAVE.
3. Double-click the AUTOCLAVE folder to display a
folder similar to the one shown below. It will be
named with the unit’s Serial Number.
4. To back-up the files, simply drag the folder onto your
back-up folder on the desktop.
You are copying files in the same way you might
copy photos from your camera. Partially minimise the
windows on the PC to make drag-and-drop easier to
use.
14.3 Viewing files
To view files in your back-up folder, use Windows®
Explorer to view the folder contents.
Open single or multiple files by double-clicking any
.ELG file.
Each file opens in its own window. Cycle files are
“.ELG” files. They are named using the cycle number
(e.g. 00186.ELG), or a code that is generated from the
date and time (e.g. 1435874.ELG).
If Windows does not recognise the file type, you
can right-click the file and select Open With. Select
the Cycle Logger program from the list. It will then
recognise all
.ELG
files in the future.
