Saving to Data Card
Note:
The device's internal memory has limited capacity and continuously overwrites the oldest data
set after reaching maximum memory capacity. For recording sessions that take a long time, a data card
is absolutely necessary. The data saved on the data card can be read out and evaluated using a
computer.
A new file is generated for each day. The date is encoded in the file name.
Example for a file generated on the Data Card:
\RECORDER\R_YYMMDD.TXT
Recorder data of YYMMDD (YY = year, MM = month, DD = day)
The data is recorded as ASCII file with the extension .TXT. The individual columns are separated by
tabs. This makes the file readable with word processing or spreadsheet programs (e.g. Microsoft Excel).
Each time the Data Card is inserted in the slot, a “Device Info” consisting of the device type, serial
number, and tag number is written. Thus, a Data Card can also be used to collect the measurement
recorder data of several devices.
Meaning of the entries in the recorder file:
TIME STAMP
Recorder entry time stamp
CH1/2/3/4
1st/2nd/3rd/4th recorder channel with measured value and unit of measurement
Z1/2
1st/2nd additional value and unit of measurement
