Click the Header Form tab to customize the header:
The entries are free form, 0 to 12 lines long. This dialog box establishes:
•
the header prompts that appear for the user to fill in when uploading
data, if
Prompt for header information
was selected
•
the header included with the uploaded data, if
Include default header
form in upload file
was selected
Enter the desired header/header prompts.
8.
Click Upload; the Status bar at the bottom of the window displays the
upload progress.
A.
SeatermIM sends several status commands
providing information
regarding the number of samples in memory, calibration coefficients,
etc., and writes the responses to the upload .xml file.
B.
If you selected Prompt for header information in the Upload Data
dialog box
– a dialog box with the header form appears. Enter the
desired header information, and click OK. SeatermIM writes the
header information to the upload .xml file.
C.
SeatermIM sends the data upload command, based on your selection
of upload range in the Upload Data dialog box, and writes the data to
the upload .xml file.
D.
From the information in the .xml file, SeatermIM creates a .asc data
file that is compatible with Plot39 for plotting the data. The .asc file is
placed in the same directory as the .xml data file and has the same
name (but different extension).
9.
Ensure all data has been uploaded by reviewing the data using Plot39
(with the .asc file).
Note:
While uploading data,
Warning: Low
Battery Voltage
may be
displayed. To continue uploading,
remove the batteries and install new
ones. The momentary loss of power
resets the clock, preventing analysis of
any clock drift, and erases the 256 byte
cache buffer data (most recently
recorded data, corresponding to no
more than 36 data samples).
Note that all but the most recent data is
stored in non-volatile FLASH memory,
which is not affected by loss of power.
See
Replacing AA Cells and Desiccant
in
Section 5: Routine Maintenance and
Calibration
for replacement of the
batteries. See
Memory
in
Appendix I:
Functional Description
for a discussion
of the cache buffer.
Defines header information
included with uploaded data:
•
Prompt for header information –

•

upload file – User-defined
default header form included in
upload file. User is not
prompted to add any
information when data is
uploaded.
•
Don’t include default header
form in upload file – Header
information not included in
upload file.
