STORING
AND
TRANSFERRING
DATA
TO
A
PERSONAL
COMPUTER
The
HD2114P.2
and
HD2134P.2
instruments can be connected to a personal computer via an
RS232C serial port or an USB 2.0 port, and exchange data and information through the DeltaLog9
software running in a Windows operating environment. The models can send in real time input
measured values directly to a PC, through the PRINT function, or even store the values measured
by using the
Logging
function (LOG key) in their internal memory. If necessary, the data stored in
the memory can be transferred to a PC later.

OGGING
FUNCTION
-
ONLY FOR
HD2114P.2
AND
HD2134P.2
The
Logging
function allows the recording up to 36000 measurements registered by the probe
connected to the inputs. The time interval between two consecutive measurements can be set from 1
second to 1 hour. The logging starts by pressing the LOG key and ends by pressing the same key
again: the data memorized in this way form a continuous block of data.
See the description of the menu items on page 10.
If the automatic turning off option between two recordings (MENU >>
Sleep_Mode_LOG)
is
enabled, upon pressing the LOG key the instrument logs the first data and turns off. 15 seconds
before the next logging instant, it turns on again to capture the new sample, and then turns off. In
this phase, the display will signal that the instrument is logging using the flashing message: "LOG
ON".
The data stored in the memory can be transferred to a PC using the DUMP LOG command: MENU
key, using ENTER select the ">>>_LOG_DUMP_or_ERAS" item, and then press on the
LOG/DumpLog key. During data transfer the display shows the message DUMP; to stop the data
transfer press ESC on the instrument or on the PC.
C
LEARING THE MEMORY
-
ONLY FOR
HD2114P.2
AND
HD2134P.2
To clear the memory use the Erase Log function (MENU key, using ENTER select the
">>>_LOG_DUMP_or_ERAS" item, and then press on the SERIAL/EraseLOG key).
The instrument starts clearing the internal memory; at the end of the operation, it goes back to
normal display.
NOTES:
•
Data transfer does not cause the memory to be erased; the operation can be repeated as many
times as required.
•
The stored data remain in the memory independently of battery charge conditions.
•
In order to print the data to a parallel interface printer, you must use a parallel-serial adaptor (not
supplied).
•
The direct connection between instrument and printer via a USB connector does not work.
•
Some keys are disabled during logging. The following keys work: HOLD, FUNC (Max-Min-
Avg) and SERIAL.
•
Pressing the HOLD, REL and FUNC keys has no effect on the logged data if these keys are
pressed
after
starting the recording, otherwise the following is valid.
•
The recording started with the display in HOLD mode proceeds normally with the actual
measured values (that is, not in "HOLD" mode). Only the display is frozen to the values present
when the HOLD key was pressed.
•
The same is true for the Max-Min-Avg function.
•
If the logging is started when the display is in REL mode, the relative values are logged.
