13.4. Running Micro 800 Link
Select Micro 800 Link from your Programs menu. After an introductory splash-screen has
been displayed, the program interface will appear.
Select your preferred operating language by clicking on one of the national flags.
13.5. Uploading Data From Your Micro 800 Meter
Ensure your Micro 800 Meter has batteries installed but is switched off. Connect the Micro
800 Meter to your PC using the USB cable supplied. The Micro 800 Meter should switch
itself on automatically and display ‘USB CONNECTED’ on its screen.
Click the ‘
Upload Data From DO Meter’
button. Micro 800 Link will search for the Micro
800 Meter then upload all the available logged data from the Meter to your PC. A progress
bar and file counter will be displayed during this process.
Once upload is complete, the memory Tag, date and time for all the logged data that has
been uploaded will be displayed in the
Uploaded Data
column on the left of the screen.
To view any of the logged data records, simply click on the desired Tag, date and time label
as shown above. The data for the highlighted label will be displayed in the individual data
boxes, which are grouped by electrode function. Any data that is unavailable or out of
range will be displayed as dashes. To move up and down the Tag/date/time column, use
either your mouse or the cursor up/down keys.
Remember, the Micro 800 Meter stores all logged data in a raw Probe format, so can be
made to outpu
t logged data in several different forms, dependent upon the Meter’s current
settings. See Important Information About Memory Mode
in Section 8 for more information.
13.6. Displaying GPS Co-ordinates
On the right of the screen, the position at which the data was logged is displayed in the
GPS boxes (when logged using an AM-200 GPS Micro 800 Meter only). Latitude and
longitude can be displayed as Degrees and decimal Minutes (DD MM.MMMM) or as
decimal Degrees (DD.DDDDD). Select one format or the other by clicking one of the two
options at the bottom of the GPS box. Positional accuracy of lat/lon co-ordinates is +/- 10
meters with a 3D Position fix.
GPS position is also displayed as an Ordnance Survey Great Britain (OSGB) grid
reference, (if the position falls within the United Kingdom) and UTM (Universal Transverse
Mercator) co-ordinates. Positional accuracy of OSGB co-ordinates is +/- 1 digit (i.e. +/- 100
metres). Positional accuracy of UTM co-ordinates is +/- 10 metres with a 3D Position fix.
13.7. On Screen Help
Help has been provided in this software in the form of ‘Tool Tips’. If you want to know what
a control button does or what a data box displays, simply move your mouse pointer over
the item in question. A multi-lingual Tool Tip will appear after a few seconds to give you
more information.
13.8. Saving Logged Data
Once a set of logged data has been uploaded from the Micro 800 Meter, it can be saved on
your PC as a Raw Data file. These files use a proprietary Palintest format and are saved
with a .omf (
o
xygen
m
