Extracting Log Information (1)
Setting Up The Logger
Setting up the Ultra SD Data Logger is easy, simply insert
the Micro SD card into the slot on the logging board (as
shown below), and push it in
until you hear a ‘click’.
This indicates that it is housed correctly into the logging
board, and upon powering the controller the
‘CD’ LED will
illuminate solid red confirming the Micro SD card is present.
Enter program mode by entering the passcode
‘
1997
’ on the
controller keypad,
and press ‘ENTER’. The parameter to
set up the logging interval time is direct access only. This
parameter (P129) b
y default is set to ‘0’, so no logs are
recorded until you enter an interval time.
Enter the interval value (in seconds) at which you wish to
log information to the Micro SD card. Min = 5, Max = 3600
seconds, (0 = Off). Return to run mode and power cycle the
unit for logging to begin.
For interval times below 20 seconds, although information is
logged, there may be a few seconds discrepancy between
the time logged.
You can continue to program your controller for your
application and, once completed, return to run mode. You
will notice that the ‘Data’ LED will flash blue each time it
logs information.
Ensure that the date (P931) and time (P932) have been set
correctly in the unit.
To remove the Micro SD card, push down on the Micro SD
card so that it then ejects, and then remove it from the
logging board.
