solution is to uninstall the old Observer software as per procedure given in section 1.4 of
this software guide. Then, install the new Observer software from CD supplied. If the
problem still can’t be solved, then uninstall the old Observer software and create a back
up for the historical and real-time folders under C:/Observer and remove Observer folder
from C: Then install the new Observer software again.
Q31: How to write Observer data and configurations back up to CD’s?
A31: Data will be available at .dat,idx files and .lst files at the path C:/Observer. The files will
be available under historical and realtime folders. Configuration file name is
Recorder.config. You can create a folder and save all historical and real time folders in to
back up folder, and then you can write this information to CD.
Q32: If I have some configuration problems, which files I have that to send to the supplier?
A32: Both Recorder.cfg. and IO.dat. files in C:/Observer/Historical are required under this
case.
Q33: Does the recorder have an option to supply DC power supply to the transmitters?
A33: The 24VDC auxiliary power supply card AP181 can offer the power to 6 pieces of
transmitters.
Q34: I am trying to connect recorder on RS 232/RS422/RS485/Ethernet but I couldn’t set up
the communication properly.
A34: Please refer detailed information to 5.1 Observer I & Observer II PC software guide, 5.2
Ethernet Configuration & 5.3 RS 232, RS485, RS422 Configuration.
Q35: When export data to Excel CSV files, what if the historical data is not appearing in spread
sheet?
A35: Make sure that the selected pens are available at destination list. If they are available at
source list, then move them to destination list, and then you can export data. Also make
sure that data is available at the selected period or interval time. Otherwise, you may not
see anything in the target Excel sheet.
Q36: I want to count pulses to measure power consumption in KWH. Each pulse is one KWH.
Can I use Math application for this?
A36: Yes, use DI and configure Events of Channel as follows
Event Type = High, Job 1 = Increase Counter, Target = Counter 1
But please note that maximum value counter can store is 65535.
Please note that recorder can detect maximum of 30 pulses/Minute at a frequency of 0.5
Hz. The better possible solution is to use an external converter for the application. The
standard pulses to 4-20mA converters are available in the market where you can set
pulse width and duration between pulses.
