3.6.4 How to log directly to a PC

1. In the previous procedures the logging data was
routed to the Portaflow PT500’s internal memory
where it was stored for later download to a
PC/printer. However, you could have sent it directly
to the PC or printer for ‘live’ data display by
selecting RS232 in the Log data to option in the
REAL TIME LOGGER screen.
2. In order for this to work correctly the Portaflow
PT500 must be connected to the PC and the
RS232/USB link already established.

Swapping data destinations during a logging session
When a logging session is in progress the Portaflow PT500 is normally in the FLOW READING mode. In this
mode you can switch the logging data destination by pressing the Logger function key and then selecting either
Memory or RS232 in the Log data to field – see the screen above. You can also select Both, to route the data to
both destinations simultaneously.
Key Point:
This will only work if the Portaflow PT500 is connected to the PC and the
RS232 link has already been established. If the RS232 has not already been set you
will have to go to the MAIN MENU to select the RS232 setup screen, and this will
immediately stop the logging session.
