1.3.5.2 Storing a result
Figure 1.18 Store buttons
Set the STORE RESULT switch to AUTO STORE. The unit will now store a result every time
the STORE pushbutton is pressed.
If the output is on when STORE is pressed, the result will be stored internally until the output is
switched off. An “S” symbol is shown on the display when results are stored and waiting to be
written to the memory key. When the output is switched off, the stored results are written to the
memory key.
If the output is off when STORE is pressed, the values currently held on the display are written
to the memory key. Pressing STORE again will have no effect until the output is switched on
again (this is because there are no new results to write to the memory key).
1.3.5.3 Result file format
The results are stored to the USB memory key in a CSV (comma separated value) format. This
can be opened by all common spreadsheet programs (including Microsoft Excel and OpenOffice
Calc).
The data is of the following format:
"Z-OVR","V0.01","C01","P1","A1"
"Time","Date","Amps","Volts","Phase","Freq Hz","Z mOhms","X mOhms","Comment"
"11:49:23","23/02/10","10.00","1.00","90.0","50.00","100.0","100.0","Comment"
"11:49:23","23/02/10","10.00","1.00","90.0","50.00","100.0","100.0","Comment"
1.3.5.4 Folder structure
The Z-OVR creates a folder on the memory key called TRTEST. Within this folder, a new folder
is created for each day on which testing is carried out using the date as the folder name in the
form DD-MM-YY (e.g. 20-02-10).
A new file is created using the start time of the testing each time the USB stick is removed, or
the unit is switched off and on. The file name is of the form HHMMSS.csv (e.g 141500 for 14:15).
1.3.5.5 Viewing results
Results stored on the memory key can be viewed on the same day on the unit. Results from
previous days must be viewed on a computer.
To view today’s results, select VIEW on the STORE RESULT selector. The results files available
can then be scrolled through using the ADJ knob.
!
NOTE
If there are no results stored for the current date, the unit will display NO
RESULTS FOUND. This does not mean that there are no results on the USB key,
just none for the current date.
