8.3 Measurement Protocols
Finished measurements can be logged / recorded. Those protocols can be view
-
ed by the NovalogMC software or by a normal text editor.
As the file has a digital signature, viewing the protocol by NovalogMC offers the
advantage that fraudulent and unauthorized changes of the protocol are recog
-
nised.
8.3.1 Automatic Storage of „Stable Protocol“
Please proceed with steps mentioned below, if it is requested that stable proto-
col is stored after measurement has been finished:
•
Go to „Chamber Settings“ -> „Data Logger“ -> „Automatic output of stable
protocol and select
- Log: Store protocol in internal memory. Can be exported later to SD-Card
-
PC: Protocol will be transferred to PC and displayed in NovalogMC
- LOG+PC: Both options mentioned above
If „Off“ is selected, automatic output of stable protocol is deactivated. A manual
output can still be made (see chapter 8.3.2.), if LabMaster-aw neo is connected
to a PC with running NovalogMC.
8.3.2 Manual Release of a Protocol Print
Once a measurement has been started, a manual print of a protocol can be trig-
gered by selecting „Print protocol“ on the main menu screen. Please consider as
well that a local EPSON TM-U220D printer or a connection to a PC with running
NovalogMC is available. It is not possible to „print“ the protocol to the SD-card.
For an on-going measurement, only „actual Protocol“ is available, for a finished
measurement, a „stable protocol“ can be printed.
8.3.3 Connect a Local Printer
It is possible to connect a local printer to the RS-232 interface of the LabMaster-
aw neo to get a paper print-out of the protocols.
Important!
There is only one type of printer which is supported and this is the EPSON TM-
U220D! As additional adapters are necessary, it is recommended to order this
printer at Novasina, respectively at your local Novasina distributor.
To connect this printer to a LabMaster-aw neo, please proceed as follows:
•
Prepare printer as per instructions, given in the manual which comes along
with the printer (Doc. No. 003613). Special attention needs to be paid to
setting the DIP switches correctly
•
Connect printer and RS-232 interface at LabMaster-aw neo using the specific
adapters and cable as per instruction.
•
Go to „System Settings“ -> „Maintenance“ -> „Interface for computer con-
nection“ and select „Printer on RS232 (EPSON TM-U22D)
•
Stable protocol can now be printed as mentioned in chapter 8.3.1
Note:
The USB interface is only be used for connection to a computer and to log by
NovalogMC.
8.3.4 Connecting to LIMS (Lab-Information- and Management-System)
LIMS integration became more and more popular recently, especially in terms of
data integrity. The LabMaster-aw neo is capable to release measurement results
and meta data in XML format which can then be implemented into LIMS easily.
