WARNING:
FTS strongly recommends against modifying any files in the Datalogger
accessed through the Windows Mobile Device Center connection. Doing so may cause
severe problems in the Datalogger.
3.1.5.2.2
No Windows 7 equivalent of Remote Display
Even though Windows Mobile Center is described as a replacement for Microsoft ActiveSync, it does not
provide exactly the same features and Microsoft Remote Display does not work with it (nor is Remote
Display provided with Windows 7). There is currently no program that provides the same functionality
of Remote Display on Windows 7.
Touchscreen considerations
3.1.6
3.1.6.1
Temperature
When the Datalogger is operated at low temperatures (lower than -20 Celsius), the display responds
more slowly than it does at room temperature. Also, the display becomes faint or has low contrast. This
is normal for the display. Although the official specification for low temperature operation of the display
is -20 Celsius, we have found that typically the display remains readable until approximately -30 Celsius.
When performing a site visit at temperatures colder than -20 Celsius, the user should bring along a
laptop computer so that they can remotely connect to the Datalogger. Note that although the display
becomes unreadable at cold temperatures, this does not affect the Datalogger’s operation. The
Datalogger continues to log the required data and as the temperature rises, the Datalogger display
once again becomes readable.
3.1.6.2
Touch
The Datalogger’s touchscreen is a sensitive membrane – only the attached stylus or a bare finger should
be used to touch the screen (i.e. do not use a screwdriver, pen, pliers, pocket knife, etc. in place of a
stylus).
3.1.6.3
Screen calibration
The Datalogger’s touchscreen is factory calibrated; however, if you notice that the presses on the
touchscreen do not register in the correct location, then the touchscreen may need to be recalibrated.
To recalibrate the touchscreen, go to the
Service
screen and press
Screen Calibration
.
Telemetry connection to a PC
3.1.7
The Datalogger can be connected to a PC’s RS-232 port using a CBL-F6H1-TLM-CP cable (available from
FTS) to establish a serial connection (9600 baud, no parity, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit) to the Datalogger’s
TELEMETRY
port. The serial connection can be used by FTS software (i.e. AutoCaller, StreamTrac, etc.) or
by terminal software (i.e. HyperTerminal) to retrieve data from the Datalogger. The
TELEMETRY
port
connection is not intended for Datalogger maintenance (i.e. uploading of Datalogger configurations or
application software). The primary purpose of the
TELEMETRY
port is for telemetry device connections.
