Data recording settings
(
)
- File options
(The selected option is displayed in the main window above the graph with: pyrome-
ter model and serial number, file name and a running num-
ber)
:
-
Overwrite File
(Overwrite mode)
:
Overrides the same
file with each new recording.
-
Create new file
(Fileindex mode)
creates a separate
file for each recording.
-
Append data
(Append mode)
:
With each new record-
ing, the new values are appended to the previous one
- Storage interval:
Writes a reading in the file with the set
storage interval. At 0.0 s, the storage is done as fast as
possible (depending on baud rate and buffer mode).
- Automatic recording by:
-
Active control
(shows only effect when equipped with a
PID controller): Starts recording automatically when a
controller-start takes place (also at an external start).
-
Active I/O port:
Starts recording when a digital input or
output is active. The port selection will be done at I/O
port at the bottom of the window.
- Back-time recording:
If the record button is pushed (or
recording is activated by active I/O port and setting "automatic recording by active I/O port" is
checked), values are stored retroactively for the entered time but only as many, as entered under
"Maximum data sets in memory".
- Automatic end of recording by:
-
Inactive control
(shows only effect when equipped with a PID controller): Stops recording when
a control process is stopped (even with automatic or external stop, error, etc.).
-
Inactive I/O port:
Stops recording when a digital input or output is disabled.
- Post-record of recording:
recording can be continued for a while if control process is stopped,
e.g. to record a cool down process
- Maximum data sets in memory:
Number of measurement data sets (consists of measuring tem-
peratures (2-color and 1-color), emissivity slope, emissivity, device temperature, setpoint-value...),
the program maximum keeps in the memory to display this on back-time recording or in the play-
back window (pressing the playback button
), (data recording, however, is only limited by hard
disk size).
-
As
I/O port
an digital input as well as output can be selected.
INFO:
If an output is used, the assigned function can be used for controlling the automatic
recording, for example for automatic recording when a certain temperature is exceeded
(limit switch activated).
Data Playback
-
Press the “
Load data
” button to open a saved file and display in the playback
window (
SensorTools
viewer, see
). To compare several measurement curves, you can select
several files, each file will be opened in a separate window.
-
Press “
Copy data file
” to copy one or separate files into another folder. Select
the files you want to copy, the original files are not removed. In the next window a folder can be se-
lected where files should be copied. Then a file name is suggested containing date and time. All
selected files will be numbered in sequence with the chosen name.
