Screen
Explanation
The DataMate main screen shows a non-autoID sensor
from a previous experiment even though the sensor is no
longer connected. (For example, the screen on the left
shows a Relative Humidity sensor even though the sensor
was removed and DataMate was restarted.)
Press
‘
to reset the CBL 2™ to initial conditions. (In
general, whenever you see something on the screen that
does not look correct, press
‘
to reset.)
This screen appears when the CBL 2 is disconnected from
the calculator and used for a different task or when the
CBL 2 loses power. When the CBL 2 and calculator are
reconnected, the calculator may not recheck the sensor
setup, and this error results.
Press
‘
to reset, and then set up the channel again.
These three screens usually appear when there is not
enough memory available in the calculator to collect any
or all of the data and then graph it. Reduce the number
of data points you are trying to collect.
Following are
estimates
of the number of data points
that can be collected if the calculator RAM memory has
been reset prior to sending DataMate to the calculator:
