The Logger–Real Time Reading Command displays the current channel readings
and the status of the MicroDataLogger unit. The readings are updated approximately
every two seconds. To close this screen, click the Close button.
Another way to read real-time readings is to push the MDL pushbutton two times and
read the real time readings on the logger display.
Note:
If you're having problems with this feature, verify that you are using MDL-
DataManager software version 4.0 or higher. If you're using an earlier version of
the software, upgrade to the latest available version. This can be done by
visiting the Architectural Energy Corporation web site and downloading the
software for free at www.archenergy.com.
Retrieve Data
When Logger–Retrieve Data is selected, a window is displayed with logger
information and two buttons as follows:
Retrieve Data. To initiate the data retrieval process, click on the Retrieve Data
button. A file dialog box will open, permitting the user to retrieve data into a new or
existing file. Type in a file name. The file extension “.log” will be added automatically by
the program.
Data are typically retrieved after the data collection period has ended. Data can also
be retrieved at any time before the MDL has completed data collection. Data retrieval
will not interrupt ongoing data collection.
