Measurement Steps
After opening the TSic Recorder™ software, follow the steps described below to acquire measurement data.
Step1
: Connect at least one of the four temperature sensors to the TSic LABkit™ Adapter and select the
connected temperature channels in the main window of the TSic Recorder™ software.
Figure 4.1 – TSic Recorder™ Software Main Window
Step 2
: Correct settings if necessary using the Settings dialog window described in section 4.4. Then
click OK to exit the Settings dialog window. For all enabled temperature channels, the actual
measurement values are displayed in the main window (see Figure 4.1 above). The TSic
LABkit™ system is now ready to read the sensors’ measured temperature.
Important:
The software default configuration after installation is for the TSic™ 306. If other TSic™ types are
connected, see section 4.4.2 below for required sensor type configuration using the Settings dialog window.
The Settings dialog window can also be used to change settings such as temperature display refresh time and
the interval of the displayed mean value.
See section 4.3 for more information on the main window settings.
Troubleshooting Note: If measurement data is missing, check the connections (USB connector, TSic LABkit™
Adapter and sensors) and ensure that the correct USB Port has been selected. You can select the USB/COM
port in the Settings dialog window as described in section 4.4, Figure 4.2.
Step 3
: To record temperature measurement values in a text file, click the Start button in the main window.
Click the Stop button to end recording.
The default directory and filename are C:TSIC-LABKIT\DATA\tempdata.csv. To change the directory or
filename, see section 4.4.7.
The information to be recorded with the sensor data in the text file can be selected on the main window. By
default, the text file includes the measurement number, date, and time columns and the Text 1-3 file heading
text in addition to the “Actual” (T1-4) and “Raw Value” (R1-4) data for each enabled sensor.
