DataLogger
The device is equipped with measurement data memory (a data logger). This allows you to save measured values
automatically on a USB stick as an “.xml” file. The data can then be read and processed using applications such as
MSExcel or OpenOfficeCal.
18.1 Automatic recording of measurement sets
To call up the “DataLogger” menu item enter
MODE
> DataLogger. The menu then appears with the selection “New
Measurement” or “Directory”. Add measurements by selecting the menu item “New Measurement”. A prompt asks for a
name for the system (measuring location). Set this in alphanumeric format using the arrow keys or the numeric keypad.
Press
ENTER
to complete the entry.
The entered name is identical to the file name of the “.xml” file containing the measured values at the end. If a file with
the same name already exists, you will receive a warning. Enter a different name by pressing
ESC
, or press
ENTER
to
overwrite the existing file. Then enter the individual measurement parameters. The device now refers to the tuning
memory, whereby only the first and last memory locations need to be entered for the measurements. Any unassigned
memory locations are skipped. The device then automatically accesses the tuning memory locations one by one and
saves the measured values in the “.xml” file mentioned above. The progress of the measurement can be traced in a
corresponding message in the frequency window.
The following picture shows the process:
If the signal does not lock due to poor signal quality or an incorrect parameter, and if, as a result, not all measured
values can be recorded, “Signal unlocked” appears. The series of measurements can be continued by pressing
ENTER
and can be interrupted by pressing
ESC
.
At the end of the series of measurements, a status message is displayed in a window. This message shows how many of
the measurements were successful.
If all of the measurements were successful then the window is blue; otherwise it is red. The display is shown until it is
confirmed by pressing
ENTER
.
