Software Interface
BASF TemperaSure
®
graphical user software gives the user the ability to log and/
or display temperature readings and set-up values obtained from the probes. This section
describes how to install and set up the software. The data logged while taking measurements can
be saved in binary files for re-viewing with this program or in text files that can be opened by
programs such as Microsoft
®
Excel
or Notepad.
4.1 Software Installation
To install the TemperaSure user software, copy the
TemperaSure.exe
program and all the other
files from the supplied disk onto your hard drive. We recommend making a new directory for the
program and supporting files. After the program and files have been copied onto the hard drive
it can be run by either double clicking on program icon or on the file TemperaSure.exe in
Microsoft
®
Explorer. The user software can save data to files anywhere you select.
4.2 Starting up TemperaSure
Launch the TemperaSure program by double-clicking on the program’s icon. The program’s
graphical interface consists of a menu bar, communication ports, and a graph area where the data
will be displayed. The left vertical area displays either temperature or current. The bottom
horizontal area displays time in seconds, minutes or hours.
4.3 Installation Troubleshooting
Connect the probe per Figure 2A or 2B, and then launch the TemperaSure software by double
clicking on TemperaSure.exe. The user-interface screen (Figure 3) will appear. The COM ports
may need to be selected first. To configure COM ports go to the “Options” menu and choose
“Connection” and select the COM ports. The
probe readings will appear in the boxes
along
the top of the user-interface screen if the probe is connected correctly and COM ports are
selected.
If temperature values do not appear in the box(es) along the top of the screen then there is a
problem. If the box says
Searching
or
No Probe
then the probe is not being “seen” by the
software and is most likely not connected correctly. If
Error
appears in the box, most likely the
COM port is not selected correctly.
Check the cabling. Be certain that the
probe, power supply
and
interface box
are all connected
and fully plugged in, per Figure 2A or 2B.
•
Check to see if the green LED on the back of the probe and interface box are lit. These
indicate the probe head and interface box have power.
•
Check that the correct COM port(s) on the computer is being used.
•
Consult Section 6
“
Troubleshooting” in this manual
if cabling and LED are all OK.
