31 

To initiate Waveform logging: 

 

Press the 

Print/Save

 button on the Certifier test system keypad. 

 

Select 

Waveform

 from the 

Logging Features

 section. 

 

You may choose to 

Add Comments

 if you would like to annotate the data. 

 

Click 

OK

, add comments (if selected) and name the file. 

 

The Certifier test system will collect 15 seconds of flowmeter waveform data and 
then save it into the file. 

Access the data by connecting the Certifier test system to a host computer via USB, or 
by removing the SD Flash card from the Certifier test system and inserting it into a card 
reader attached to a host computer. 

2.3.9.2 

Continuous Logging 

The Continuous Logging feature will log snapshots of the same data being displayed on 
the Certifier Parameter Screen and log it into a file on an SD Flash card. The logging 
rate is once per second. Only data displayed on the Certifier Parameter Screen will be 
logged. See section 2.3 on how to add or remove parameters. The data is exported into 
“comma separated value” (CSV) format, readable by many common spreadsheet and 
database applications. See 

Advanced Features Menu 

for selecting file delimeters other 

than commas. 

The Continuous logging feature requires an SD Flash card.  

To initiate Continuous logging: 

 

Press the 

Print/Save

 button on the Certifier test system keypad. 

 

Select 

Continuous

 from the 

Logging Features

 section. 

 

You may choose to 

Add Comments

 if you would like to annotate the data. 

 

Click 

OK

, add comments (if selected) and name the file. 

 

The Certifier test system will continue to log data until the 

Print/Save

 button is 

pressed again or until the SD Flash card fills up. 

Access the data by connecting the Certifier test system to a host computer via USB, or 
by removing the SD Flash card from the Certifier test system and inserting it into a card 
reader attached to a host computer. 

Note

:  If the pause button was pressed prior to continuous logging, a slight delay may 

be noticed in the start of the data acquisition.
