Data logger
The optional data logger enables you to record data. Data can be recorded for a period between 6
and 12 months with an interval of 1 second for each parameter. The data can be extracted with
VPStudio 2.0 using the USB connection.
There are 2 different modes available, explained in the 2 paragraphs below. The modes can be
changed with VPStudio 2.0 or by using the key pad.
Changing the mode will remove all stored
data.
Data will only be recorded when a VPSensorCartridge is connected and when the main power is
applied.
7.8.1
Cyclic mode
We developed cyclic data logging mode as an "install and forget" feature. When this mode is
selected. Data will be recorded at all times, as long as power is applied and a sensor is connected.
The data logger will start automatically with a 1 second interval for all available parameters. When the
memory is full, the oldest data will be removed automatically. Total capacity is nearly 6 months.
7.8.2
Multi session mode
This mode enables you to start or stop one session manually by using the key pad. When started,
the data logger will record data on the user defined intervals.
