SECTION 1. SETTING UP THE NETWORK AND COMMUNICATING WITH THE DATALOGGER
PC208W, Version 3.0, Instruction Manual 1-5
Modem Connection to CR10X with Storage
Device:
NOTE: In reality, you can connect storage
modules or PC card drives to most
dataloggers. However, PC208W only
allows valid connections in the Device Map
where data can be retrieved from a storage
module through a datalogger over
telecommunications. PC208W allows
SM192 and SM716 storage modules to be
connected to CR10(X), CR500, or CR23X
dataloggers.
Tasks (Scheduled Running of DOS or
Windows Programs):
Phone Modem to RF connection to a CR10X,
with a CR10X at the RF Base:
1.2.5 NOTES ON DATA COLLECTION AND
FORMATS
As noted in Section 1.2.2, you must define how
the datalogger should collect data and what file
format to store the data. This information is
entered on the Data Collection tab of the Setup
window.
There are two basic options for specifying what
data is collected: collect all the new data since
the last collection or collect a fixed number of
arrays on each call. Use the
Data Logged
Since Last Call option to build a complete
archive. Use the Most Recently Logged
Arrays option to collect a fixed number of the
most recent arrays for each call.
When the Most Recently Logged Arrays
option is chosen, the number of arrays to be
collected is entered in the Arrays to Collect on
each call field. Enter 0 if you want to collect all
data on each call.
Data File Names for Areas 1 and 2
All dataloggers have a Final Storage area 1.
The CR10, CR10X, and CR23X can be
configured with two final storage areas. The
default filenames for a device's Final Storage
areas are taken from the device name. If a
CR10X is named LOG1, the default files names
are LOG1.DAT and LOG12.DAT. These default
names can be changed by selecting the
Browse button and entering a new name.
