Communicating with the PC
Once the program is running and the meter is connected, shut the meter off and turn it
back on. This will initiate communication between the meter and PC.
Under the SETUP menu on the main software screen, select the appropriate Serial
Comm Port and Baud Rate and then click the OK button.
To select the sampling time (rate at which data points are recorded), click on the S /
TIME button and type the desired sampling time.
Open the Data View window by clicking the DATA LOGGER button on the main software
screen. Click the “START” button to begin recording. Press ‘STOP’ to end recording.
The data points should appear in the Data View window. If not, check that the proper
COMM PORT is selected under SETUP.
Once the datalogger is started and the data points are appearing in the Data View
window, the software program’s remote control virtual pushbuttons can be used.
Data View Window Operation
In the Data View window (shown above), the data points can be stored in a file using the
SAVE button. When the SAVE button is RED the program is storing readings in the file
shown in the OPEN FILE NAME field. Click on the SAVE button until the letters appear
in red, the readings are now being stored. When the SAVE button is not RED, readings
can still be viewed in the data list but the readings are not being saved.
To open a file of previously stored data, use the BROWSER button. When the file is
found and opened, use the LOAD button to recall the data points to the Data View
Window.
