3.8 DATA
LOG
The Firetron 1000 Series has a standard 1000 point data logger. It provides the means of storing mea-
surement data samples for recording or printing, and subsequent analysis.
The menu options permit the user to configure the data log to meet individual requirements.
Data Log Setup
There are four parameters to set up before data logging can begin.
LOG TYPE: There are two options: Manual or Automatic
Manual: The manual data log provides an instantaneous log of data. This can be undertaken by
pressing the 'LOG' key in the Gas Readings Display.
Automatic: The automatic data log enables data to be logged at specific time intervals for a specified
time period of logging, e.g. Log Period 2 mins, Log Interval 10 secs.
— The 'Log Period' has a range 2 - 60 mins.
— The 'Log Interval' has a range 10 -1800 secs
NOTE: Although the log interval may be set as low as 10 seconds, the system response to changes in
gas concentrations is not less than 1 minute.
Starting the AUTO log: Auto Data Logging does not commence until the ‘AUTOLOG’ key is
pressed in Gas Readings Display.
NOTE: The ‘AUTOLOG’ key does not appear in Gas Readings Display until Auto Data Logging is
selected. Once the Auto Log is initiated the Firetron 1000 will place a log record to the selected out-
put device at the interval specified by the system parameter ‘LOG INTERVAL’. Auto Logging will
stop when the specified log period is completed.
Aborting the Auto Log: Auto Data Logging may be aborted before the completion of the Auto Data
Log period by pressing the ‘STOPLOG’ key in Gas Readings Display.
NOTE: The ‘STOPLOG’ key does not appear in Gas Readings Display until the Auto Data Log has
been started.
Log To: There are three options available to enable data logging storage/output - Memory, RS232.
Log to Memory: The Firetron 1000 can log up to approx. 963 log records of data in non-volatile
system memory.
NOTE: When the log memory is full no subsequent logs are recorded.
Log to Printer: Log records may be output as ascii text to a serial printer.
