in the world, or a MicroSD card from any digital camera or mobile phone can be inserted
directly into the Instrument for immediate compatibility and use. Similarly, any MicroSD
card used in the HFD8 can be removed and placed into a Camera, phone or any computer
and is automatically recognized and functional. If inserted into a computer the data can be
copied across through Windows Explorer to any file location on the PC.
NOTE 1: MicroSD cards are “Hot Swappable” meaning it can be removed from the
instrument and inserted into a USB port of a computer using a USB card adaptor and
then reinserted to the instrument. No closing down, ejecting or formatting is required.
9.2.2 Data File Nomenclature
The data file is automatically generated by the HFD8 using the following
nomenclature; instrument_serial_number.csv e.g. HFD1C905.csv. The serial number not
only uniquely identifies each instrument , it contains specific information about the date
of manufacture and production run. Please provide the serial number to ICT International
for all support inquiries.
NOTE 2:
The Serial Number is automatically stored in the “Header Line” of the data file as
well as being the data file name. A Serial Number is affixed to the back of the instrument for
physical display. Finally, the Serial Number is displayed on screen in the HFD8 software
upon connection to the instrument.
9.2.3 Data File Format
The HFD8 stores data in *.CSV format
on
the internal MicroSD card. The file structure
of the HFD8, whether it uses a comma (,) or a point (.) for the separator, and a point (.)
or a comma (,) for the decimal delimiter, is based upon the regional settings of the
user’s computer.
These regional settings are typically set the first time a user connects to the computer. If
the computer’s regional settings are different to the HFD8 Sap Flow Meter a message is
displayed on screen warning that the Regional settings of the computer do not match
those of the instrument. If they are both set to the same regional settings no message will
appear.
WARNING 2 - It is recommended that the regional settings of the Instrument are set to
those of the computer that will be used to process the Sap Flow data. Failure to do this will
result in a data file that is unreadable in both Excel and Sap Flow Tool Software because the
file structure is the opposite of what the computer is configured for.
9.2.3.1 Main Data File
The *.CSV data file is a true Comma Separated Values (CSV) data file that can be easily
opened in Excel or SFT software. It is used for logging all measurement parameters.
Depending upon the logging frequency these files can be very large (MB in size). The file
includes a detailed header with all of the configuration parameters relevant to any
processed data contained in the data file. As well every column is preformatted with
headings denoting the measurement parameter and the engineering units of the
measurement.
