4 CHANNEL TEMPERATURE MEASURING SYSTEM
WITH USB-INTERFACE CON-TSIC-LABKIT-USB
WINDOWS-Software RECORDER
With the help of this program, which is covered in
the scope of supply, the measured values can be
received through the RS232-interface and
displayed on the PC. The displayed file is compat-
ible with any desired spreadsheet program, with
which it is possible to further process, statistically
evaluate or visualise the measurement data.
In addition, the PC-Software also determines the
minimum, maximum and average value from the
measured values.
System requirements: Windows 98, 2000 or XP,
RS232 interface. Generally, older PCs are also
suitable.
Important hint: First connect the USB-Version to
the PC after installing the software. This simplifies
driver installation and enables "Plug&Play" feature.
Installation: A detailed installation instruction is
provided on the CD, which automatically gets
started on inserting the CD (prerequisites: Internet-
Explorer 5.0 or higher). Follow these instructions
for installation.
Manual Installation: Insert the enclosed CD into
your drive and select "Run" in the start-menu and
then browse to select the file 'setup.exe' under the
path LW:\software\RECORDER\TEMPLOG\disk1.
Then follow the instructions of the installation
program.
First time operation: Connect the temperature
measuring system to the RS232-interface of a PC.
After first time run of the software, go to menu
option "settings" and select device type as "TSIC-
LABKIT" and also select the type of interface to be
used under "connections". The remaining settings
(Data rate, Parity, Start and Stop bit) are automati-
cally selected and need not be changed. If the
connection is established, the data communication
appears on the terminal window. Then select
"Close". The current settings will be stored..
If you are not able to establish data link between
PC and the measuring probe, then first please
check the RS232 cable connection to the PC.
Further information on debugging is available
under FAQ´s on the CD or at our Homepage under
SUPPORT.
Data recording: First activate all the hooked up
measurement channels that are to be recorded. In
'Text 1' and 'Text 2', you can enter a description,
which has to appear as heading on the top of data
file. The data is recorded in a file, which is
declared as path in the 'Start' button. The
recording begins with the 'Start' button.
EXCEL™: The created file is compatible with
CSV-Format. In order to display the measured
data, you can use graphic tools, for example, the
diagram-assistant. However, other programs can
also be used to graphically represent or evaluate
the measured data.
Internal data transfer
The interface works on a data rate of 4800 Baud, 8
Data bits, No parity and one Stopbit. Further infor-
mation on data protocol can be downloaded from
our homepage.
Further application areas
Although the product is primarily intended as a
Evaluation Kit for the innovative temperature-
sensors TSic™, it also represents as a fully
featured and efficient multiple channel temperature
measuring system which can also provide valuable
services in the laboratory applications.
