7.1
Single Send Data Transfer
If the gage is connected to an external device (printer, data collector, or
computer), and if the only data that needs to be collected on command
is the active displayed measurement, follow the steps below. Please
note that the current ID number will not be transmitted and only the
appropriate setup flags will be transferred.
1.
Set up the desired Measure mode on the Magna-Mike 8500.
2.
Make a thickness reading.
3.
Press [SEND] quickly (release in less than one second) or use the
optional footswitch.
4.
Only the displayed measurement data with its appropriate setup
flags will be transmitted, and the gage will return to the original
Measure mode. The specific data transmitted depends on the
Datalogger output format (see Appendix II). If the thickness dis-
play is blank when [SEND] is pressed, then “--.---” will be sent
in place of a value.
7.2
Range Data Transfer
When only a portion of a file needs to be transmitted to a computer or
printer, follow the steps below:
1.
Open the file that contains the range to be transferred (see Sec-
tion 6.3). From the Measure Mode, press and hold [SEND] until
the ID-Range Send dialog box is displayed.
