MicroVol-1100 User manual 1.6 Calibration
If the data file already exists, any further downloading of data will be appended to the
existing data in that file. If the data file does not exist, the MicroVol Downloader
software automatically creates the file.
Note: The Windows regional settings for time and date format should be
set the same on the computer used to download the data and the
computer used to process the data (if different computers are used.) The
settings are located in the Windows menu system under Start, Settings,
Control Panel, Regional Settings, Time and Date
5.2 Communicating with the MicroVol (alternative method)
An alternative (more complicated) way of downloading data is to use a terminal
emulator. Send ***EA command, then use terminal to download file using X-modem.
Using this method the data will be in hexadecimal format and will need to be
converted to ASCII format.
If required, it is possible to connect a modem to the MicroVol to collect data. It is also
possible to use a terminal program to communicate with the MicroVol via the Serial
port (RS-232C). This may be useful for remote interrogation or for connecting the
MicroVol to an external data logger.
