Exporting data in Microsoft
®
Excel
Data logs are saved to a file with *.txt extension on the
SD Card. The data can be imported directly to a standard
data processing software such as Microsoft
®
Excel.
Copy the desired file to your PC. This guide shows
basics of exporting the files into Microsoft
®
Excel. Of
course working with the data logs is not restricted to
Excel and is possible with comparable software.

The log file will look like this: Each line represents the
data from one measuring point. The different values
are separated by semicolon.

SETTING THE PARAMETERS
How to access the I/O setup menu
In the primary measuring window “Flow 1”: Select
“SETUP” -> “CMPL SETUP.” In the “complete setup”
menu, select “I/O Setup.”
SETUP THE 4 mA TO 20 mA
CURRENT OUTPUTS
QStar UFM provides two 4 mA to 20 mA current outputs.
These outputs can be assigned different measured
values. The outputs are set actively by default. This
means that your QStar UFM always provides a voltage
at these outputs.
Any connection of an active 4 mA to 20 mA analog
output of QStar UFM with an external device that
also provides a voltage at its inputs will cause
fatal damage to your QStar UFM and external
device. Before you interconnect both devices,
always verify that your external recording (PCS)
system is set to passive state.
CAUTION
The outputs of your UFM are working in active mode
in factory state. That means that the flow transmitter
provides the required voltage to run the outputs.
The inputs of the external device are connected directly
to your UFM.
Outputs are activated (factory setting).
