one month, while intensive data gathering (gathering data as fast as possible in absolute or continuous
mode) will fill the memory after about 8 hours. Data transfer to a personal computer or laptop is quick
and easy and can be done in the field or after measurements have been taken. New models are
supplied with an easy to use USB connector and software, while older models may have an RS-232
connector and may require software updates available on the CID website at

.
Transferred files are saved as .cvs (comma separated values) and can be read in excel or other
spreadsheet programs for data manipulation. For a more in-depth look at downloading the initial
software, installing the CI-340 data transfer program and initiating data transfer see the Transferring
Data manual found on the CI-340 product page on the CID website.
Downloading Data
One of the conveniences of this reliable data-collecting instrument is its portability. The CI-340 is
almost a small user-friendly computer that can be operated almost anywhere in the field. However,
data analysis and presentation can best be done on an external (desktop or laptop) computer.
To download data to an external computer, attach the CI-340 USAB Cable to both the CI-340 and the
computer’s USB port.
Downloading files from the CI-340 to the personal computer is accomplished with a Windows program,
C340DF.exe. It would be recommended that a separate directory exist for any of the CI-340 program
files or data to be stored. Create a directory that can be recognizable or remembered for continuous
usage; for instance, the path C:\CI-340\ could be named to store and locate all related CI-340 files and
data. Refer to the computer manual(s) regarding setting up directory/paths for the current operating
system (such as in Windows). To install the software on your computer, run setup.exe on the disk. You
can use Windows Explorer to send a shortcut to your desktop, if desired.
