Diagnostic Screens
To capture and record diagnostic data:
1. In the [Directory] field, type in the desired drive directory folder. The FS200 utility will
create the selected folder if it does not exist. If no directory path is entered in this
location, the capture file will be saved into the same directory where the FS200 program
resides.
2. The capture function automatically assigns a unique file name to the data, which by
default is the current Date and Time. If a different name is preferred, then simply overwrite
the [File Name] field with the desired name.
3. Under the [Time Interval] choice box, select one of the preset time periods over which the
data is to be collected, or select [Unlimited] if long periods are desired. The [Unlimited]
function continues to run until stopped.
4. Click the [Start] button to initiate the data capture. The FS200 utility will begin capturing
the diagnostic data and store it within the assigned directory using the selected file
name. The indication in the [Status] bar will change to “Capturing Data From Meter” and
the remaining time will count down to zero at which time the indication will revert to
“Gathering Data From Meter” and the data file will be closed.
Note
Clicking the [End] or [Stop] button at any time will terminate the data capture process and
close the ".csv" file with the data previously collected.
5. After the data capture process is complete, the ".csv" file generated by the FS200 utility
will be stored either in the FS200 utility folder, or in the folder you designated as illustrated
below. In this example the file name is “Test Unit_031620_1317.CSV”

6. The file can now be viewed in MS Excel, as shown in Figure 5-6 below.
Note
The FS200 utility
will continue to display and update the trend line and diagnostic data
even after the data capture process is terminated.
