10.0 DATA TRANSFER & POWER OPTIONS

10.1 Connectivity

The TI-007DLX is connected to a PC with a USB-C to USB Type A cable, supplied
with the kit (part# N-003-0330). The gauge has a file system and the PC will recognize
it as an external hard disk, or thumb drive. It functions very similar to a cell phone or
camera. Opening the external disk folder will display only the files that currently have
data stored in them, and while the other files are physically in the directory, they are
hidden until they contain data. The TI-007DLX has a maximum of 40 total files with
250 sequential readings per file.

10.2 Opening a File

The data files are stored as a .CVS (comma separated) text file, which is a very basic
generic text file structure. It can be conveniently opened using any standard text editor,
spreadsheet or database program. The data can easily be copied, moved or imported
into reports created by a variety of software packages. With the gauge turned on and
connected to your PC a drive called “ultrasonics” will appear in your list of devices:

Open the external drive to view the files.
