This option allows the analyzer to record the data readings to a USB flash drive. The interval between recording the
readings is set through the “Record
Interval
” setting in the Menu items.
The default value for the record interval is
10 seconds. When the interval is set to zero no data will be recorded.
Data is recorded in a csv format. Each day a new file is started. The name of the file has the format YYMMDD.csv.
YY = last two digits of the year
MM = Month
DD = Day
The contents of the file are demonstrated in the diagram below. It contains a Date and Time stamp, Gas Readings,
Temperature Readings and the Absolute Pressure reading. Gas concentrations are reported in percent or ppm
depending on the analyzer calibration. See the
Instrument Identification Sheet
at the end of this manual.
There is also a set of files on the flash drive with the format IRYYMMDD.csv. This data is for internal use by Infrared
Industries when trying to help troubleshoot problems at the analyzer location. The frequency of capturing data is the
same as specified in the “Record Interval”.
Any time the analyzer is in the Measurement Mode window the recording function will run. When you switch to the
menu items the recording will stop until the analyzer is back in the Measurement Mode.
