Operation 15
To record readings of heat flow over time, proceed as above with steps 1-11
and then follow the steps below.
1. Change from discrete to continuous data logging (See
SAMPLE
INTERVAL
Key and
SAMPLE
(options)
Key sections for details on how to
change to continuous sampling mode).
2. Press
SAMPLE
to start a sample. This will automatically log data that is
required.
3. Press
SAMPLE
to stop the sample.
This will allow you to record data over time which, when downloaded to a
computer, can be graphed.
Printing Data Using the Portable Printer
The following will be printed as long as a printer is connected. When
viewing statistics, the statistics shown on the display for the current test ID
will be printed automatically when the
STATISTICS
key is pressed. When
reviewing data, nothing will print. When taking a sample, the reading will be
printed automatically each time the
SAMPLE
key is pressed.
To print everything in memory, press and hold the
ENTER
key. This will
initiate a countdown from 5 to 0. When the display shows zero, release the
key and everything in memory will print to the printer. The display will read
“Send dAtA” while dumping the memory. If you release the key at any time
other than 0 during the countdown, nothing will print. To stop printing at
any time, turn the V
ELOCI
C
ALC
Plus off. NOTE: In order to print, the baud
rate on the V
ELOCI
C
ALC
Plus must be set to the same as the printer (default
is 1200).
Downloading Data to a Computer
“LOGDAT” is a windows-based program from TSI designed to download
the data stored in the memory of the V
ELOCI
C
ALC
Plus to a computer. This
data includes the test ID, measurement, unit of measure, flow area, and
sample interval. This data is date and time stamped. In addition, the statistics
for each test ID are provided. The file containing the downloaded data is
sorted and tab delimited to allow it to be imported into a spreadsheet for
further data analysis.
To install LogDat software, run the SETUP.EXE file on the LogDat
distribution disc. Once you open the program, it is self-directing and
provides all the necessary instructions for downloading data.
To download data from the V
ELOCI
C
ALC
Plus, connect the supplied
computer interface cable to the V
ELOCI
C
ALC
Plus and to a computer serial
port. Any serial port from COM1 to COM4 can be used.
