•
Please also note that the data logger internal time is
programmed into the data logger in the precise moment the
red LED blinks: what is written in CONTROL.TXT is what is
programmed when the led blink.
•
Detach the data logger to start the acquisition.
•
Close the waterproof cap making sure an uniform layer of
silicon grease has been placed all around the o-rings.
•
If the starting time is past the data logger will start
immediately, if the weekday is incorrect the logger will wait
indefinitely to start even if the starting time is past.
•
If you instead only wanted to stop the data logger then you
should have programmed the scan rate as: “
SCAN RATE:
00s
”
•
At scan time the red led will blink for an instant.
•
“SCAN RATE: @ms”
will set the logger to scan at
millisecond scan rate which needs to be set with a separate
command (please see the below millisecond scan rate
paragraph).
Downloading Data
•
Connect the data logger to any USB socket of a computer.
•
If the logger shows “
SCAN RATE: pgm
” that indicates it is still
waiting for the first scan.
•
Scan will stop and will be resumed once the data logger is
detached.
•
Copy the file DATALOGS.CSV from the disk drive to your
computer and open it with a text editor, or Open Office, or
Excel.
•
Large files need more time to be copied please be patient, do
not overload the memory if not necessary.
•
Make sure the data has been actually copied onto your
computer hard disk before erasing the data logger memory.
Erasing memory
•
Connect the data logger to any USB socket of a computer.
•
Do not try to erase directly the file DATALOGS.CSV as it will
only be removed from the computer cache, not from the
memory of the data logger.
•
Open the file CONTROL.TXT with a text editor,
