Memory capacity
You can create and save as many data files as required up to the maximum capacity of the gauge
memory (32 Mbit). If you try to create a new file which exceeds the memory capacity, the gauge will
display an error message. Saved data must be deleted in order to make the space available.
11.7 CREATING A NEW DATA LOGGER FILE - GRID FORMAT
To create a GRID log data file:
1.
Select MENU/DATA/NEW and press ENTER to continue
2.
Fill in a name and a note (if desired) for your data logger file
3.
Select the size of the grid. Grid positions are denoted by a number and a letter, where the
letter is the column and the number is the row.
Use TOP LEFT and LOWER RIGHT to define the size of the grid. For example, a with the TOP
LEFT set to A001 and LOWER RIGHT C003 would produce a 3x3 grid
The grid can have a maximum of 52 columns and 999 rows
4.
Set the Auto Increment direction. This option allows you to select which direction the cursor
moves after a reading is stored in terms of compass points. For example NORTH would move
the cursor up a row, and WEST would move a column left.
5.
Choose whether to activate SAVE GRAPHICS or not (snapshot of the A OR B scan on
screen).
6.
Finally create the log by scrolling to CREATE LOG, pressing ENTER and then OK to confirm.
The measurement grid is now displayed along with the grid name on screen.
11.8 HANDLING LOGGER FILES
Once created, logger files may be opened or closed using the functions "OPEN" and "CLOSE"
Closing logger files places the gauge in immediate mode and will prevent accidental saving of data
into an inappropriate log.
11.9 STORING READINGS IN A DATA LOGGER FILE
1.
Create a new data logger file or open an existing file.
The grid is displayed in the lower half of the measurement screen.
Note: Once the file is open, it will remain open until it is closed or another file is opened. If the
gauge is switched off, the file will be opened automatically when the gauge is switched on
again. Press the ENTER key to display the file from the measurement screen.
2.
If you want to save the reading to a particular cell location, scroll to the desired cell.
Note: The cell location must be empty. If it already contains a reading and you want to save a
new reading to the same location, refer to the instructions given in “Viewing and Deleting
readings” on page 19.
3.
Take a reading and then press ENTER.
The reading value is saved in the file at the location selected and the cursor advances to the
next cell according to the rules set for the data logger file:
•
If INCR. DIR is set to NORTH, EAST, SOUTH or WEST, the cursor will advance one cell in
the chosen direction. When the cursor reaches the last cell in the row or column it will
return to the other end of the row or column.
