Data Logging
NOTE:
The Gas Tracer logs data while in Normal Mode or in Bar Hole Mode. If
the Gas Tracer is used in Leak Check Mode, no downloadable data will
be logged.
The Gas Tracer features the ability to log data to its internal memory and
download it to a computer via the infrared communications port located just
below the RESET SILENCE button. It logs gas readings during normal operation,
alarm data, and calibration data.
NOTE:
The data logging function is separate from the snap logging function.
For a description of the snap logging function, see “Snap Log Mode,
Normal Operation” on page 38.
To utilize the Gas Tracer’s downloading capability, you will need the Gas Tracer
downloading software and a computer with an infrared port or a USB port that
runs one of the following operating systems: Windows 7, Windows 8, or
Windows 10. If your computer has an infrared port, then no additional accessories
are needed to download data from the Gas Tracer. If your computer does not have
an infrared port but does have a USB port, a USB/IrDA adapter cable can be used
to download data from the Gas Tracer using a USB port. The downloading
software is available at www.rkiinstruments.com/gx2012. The USB/IrDA
adapter cable is also available from RKI.
For a complete description of the downloading software and procedures for
downloading data to a computer, see the GX-2012 Data Logger Management
Program Operator’s Manual.
SDM-2012
The Gas Tracer can be used with the SDM-2012 if desired. The SDM-2012 can
charge the instrument if the lithium ion battery pack is being used. It can also
bump test, calibrate, and retrieve saved data. The SDM-2012 can be operated as a
single, stand-alone unit or can be used with up to 9 other SDM-2012s and
operated using a computer. For more information about the operation of the
SDM-2012, see the SDM-2012 operator’s manual.
