Data Logger PC Software

3.4.1 Detailed Feature Overview

As all available modes remain the same in the Data Logger software, only the additions are described in

this section.

3.4.1.1 Data Logger Mode

The data logger mode can be selected by pushing the "*" button until the bottom LCD line shows "dLog". It

may be enabled/disabled by pushing the "DOWN" button. If the heart rate data logging is selected (see

Section 3.5 ) in data logger PC software, the heart-rate monitor is automatically enabled (the RF icon

flashes until linked to a heart-rate monitor). When active, the record icon on the LCD is on (see Figure 1-

1).

NOTE: Connect the USB RF access point to the PC before launching the Control Center software.

For first time use, wait until Windows has finished the access point driver installation.

In case of problems on Windows PCs, check if the settings for the RF access point are

correct in the Windows Device Manager Start > Control Panel > System > Hardware >

Device Manager. The RF access point is listed under Ports (COM & LPT) as TI CC1111

Low-Power RF to USB CDC Serial Port. The port settings should be:

• Baud Rate: 115200

• Data bits: 8

• Parity: None

• Stop bits: 1

• Flow control: None

In case of problems on Linux PCs, ensure that the correct tty setting is specified. Check /dev

for the new tty device after plugging in the RF access point. If the RF access point is

assigned to a device other than ttyACM0, either remove the serial device that occupies this

slot (for example, a modem), or change the script file variable "com" in eZ430-

Chronos_Datalogger_1_2.tcl located in /home/<user name>/Texas Instruments/eZ430-

Chronos/Control Center/eZ430-Chronos Data Logger.

To launch the Control Center software, shortcuts are available in the Start Menu under Programs >

Texas Instruments > eZ430-Chronos > eZ430-Chronos Data Logger.

3.5 Data Logger PC Software

The eZ430-Chronos data logger PC software allows reading out logged data from the watch. It can also

be used to set and calibrate the watch, as its set modes were removed to free up as much memory as

possible for data logging. Available features:

• Time, date and calibration data synchronization tool

• Read out of logged data

• Wireless firmware update

To launch the eZ430-Chronos Data Logger software on a Windows PC, shortcuts are available on the

Desktop and in the Start Menu under Programs > Texas Instruments > eZ430-Chronos > eZ430-Chronos

Data Logger.

To launch the eZ430-Chronos Data Logger software on a Linux PC, browse to /home/<user name>/Texas

Instruments/eZ430-Chronos/Control Center/eZ430-Chronos Data Logger and run eZ430-

Chronos_Datalogger_1_2.tcl.
