F. Downloading Data
Data stored in the MS3500E/3510E unit may be downloaded, via the Opti-Link port, directly to a PC.
Alternatively, data may be downloaded to Metal Samples’ MS1500E Hand-Held Data Logger, and
subsequently transferred to a PC. Direct downloading is usually preferred in a control room or
laboratory environment. Where several MS3500E/3510E units are distributed in a field environment,
the data is most conveniently transferred via the MS1500E to a PC. The MS1500E will accept data
from as many as one hundred MS3500E/3510E units for subsequent transfer to a PC.
