Introduction How to Contact Fluke The Fluke 700G/TRACK Software (the Software) extends the functions of the Fluke 700G Series Pressure Gauge (the Gauge). Use this manual with the 700G Series Users Manual.
700G/TRACK Users Manual Before You Start Overview Before you start, read this manual to learn more about the Software and its functions. The gauge can record (log) multiple data sets, each of which is identified by a sequential run number. Data logging runs use new items put into the Gauge's CONFIG menu sequence to start and stop the runs. Logging parameters can be changed for each data run. The logging runs can be as short or long as necessary.
Pressure Gauge Logging Pressure Logging Pressure and Temperature Data Logging Modes When pressure and temperature are logged, the Gauge has a capacity of 5100 data records that keep run identification and log sample data. Two data logging modes are available, Download and Demand. Multiple log runs can be used in these modes, with the most number of runs dependent on the number of samples recorded in each run and the Gauge capacity.
700G/TRACK Users Manual description in the Main Screen section. Menus The Software menus duplicate the functions of the Gauge. You can use the buttons or the Software menu to interface with the Gauge. Clear Data Erase all data logging runs from the Gauge. See How to Clear Logged Data in the Main Screen section. Send Setup Send the setup data to the Gauge. See the How to Send Setup Configuration description in the Main Screen section. Retrieve Setup Get the setup data from the Gauge.
Pressure Gauge Logging Pressure Options Menu The Options Menu specifies the default display and export options. See the Display Options and Export Options sections.
700G/TRACK Users Manual The lower section of the Main Screen shows controls you can use to configure data logging parameters in the Gauge, send the configuration to the Gauge, and retrieve the current configuration from the Gauge. How to Connect to the Gauge To use the Software with the Gauge immediately: 1. Double-click the Software icon on the desktop to start the Software. 2. Turn on the Gauge. 3. Connect the USB cable to the PC and to the Gauge. 4.
Pressure Gauge Logging Pressure How to Erase Logged Data Enabled, Download To erase logged data, click the Clear button. After you give confirmation that logged data is to be erased, all logged data is removed from the Gauge. The data logging mode is set to Enabled, Demand, and all data on the display is refreshed. Turns on data logging in the Gauge with all logging parameters downloaded from the Software.
700G/TRACK Users Manual Samples/Run The Samples/Run field is the maximum number of samples to log each run. This can range from 1 to 8500. Log Temperature Select Yes or No to log temperature. Log Type Continuous A sample is kept at each interval of the run. The sample value is specified by the sample type selection below. This is the most common type of logging. Trip high Interval samples are kept during the run only when the sample values are above a high limit.
Pressure Gauge Logging Pressure • Median of all measurements made in the sample interval, the midpoint between minimum and maximum. • Average, minimum, and maximum of all measurements made in the sample interval. Three records of storage for each logged sample set are necessary. This decreases capacity by 3. Unit Pressure units known by the current gauge configuration. Custom units are included. Custom Factor Custom unit conversion factor shown as units for psi.

See the Export Options section. • Trip Setpoint and Reset • Initial Zero and Tare • Zero Changes The default location for files is the folder "Fluke\700G Track" in "My Documents".
Pressure Gauge Logging Pressure Export Options Use the Export Options screen to change the default selections for the file type and run description fields to be exported from the Log Upload Display. When data is first uploaded, the selections are set to these default values. After the first data display, the selections can be temporarily changed for each export, and stay changed for the length of the data display. Logged pressure is always exported. See Figure 4. gto003.jpg Figure 4.
700G/TRACK Users Manual The selections are as follows: Multiple runs in File Type Single File TXT File When the upload has many runs, export all runs to one file. You can print a formatted text file or open it in a text editor. The run description fields are put on isolated lines at the start of the file, followed by a line for each logged data sample and zero change. CSV File Separate Files When the upload contains many runs, export each run to an isolated file.
Pressure Gauge Logging Pressure Excel Cell • the time Record the cell location where you put the data. Cell columns can range from A to YZ. Cell rows can range from 1 to 99999. The data fields are put as follows: • the new zero setting • the pressure unit Run Description Fields The second, third, and fourth values are put into the cells to the right of the first.
700G/TRACK Users Manual • Minimum reading • Maximum reading • Pressure unit The second, third, and further values are put into cells to the right of the first. If the field description is included, the field description is put into the specified cell column and the field values are put into the cell columns to the right. If the field description is not included, the field values are put in the specified cell columns.
Pressure Gauge Excel Templates Single-Run Graph The Single-Run Graph template has custom titles and a graph of the merged data. The vertical axis of the graph is scaled to the range of the uploaded pressure values and the horizontal axis is scaled to the number of samples uploaded. Table 1.
700G/TRACK Users Manual Single Run Pressure and Temperature Graph The Single Run Pressure and Temperature Graph template has custom titles and a graph of the merged data. The pressure graph vertical axis is scaled to the range of the uploaded pressure values. The horizontal axis is scaled to the number of samples uploaded. The temperature graph vertical axis is scaled to the range of the uploaded temperature values. The horizontal axis is scaled to the number of samples uploaded.
