Loading Data
Measurement data recorded with the Hioki PW3198, 3196 or 3197 Power Quality Analyzer can be
loaded by the PQA-HiView Pro program.
However, it can load only binary format measurement data. Text and CSV format data cannot be
loaded.
To load measurement data:
PW3198
You can insert a SD Card with stored measurement data into a SD Card reader connected to the
computer, or transfer the measurement data over LAN to the computer, and then load it.
See: "Downloading Measurement Data from the Power Quality Analyzer (LAN Download Function)" (p. 111)
• It may take an extremely long time to directl y load large measurement data
files using the USB function. It is recommended to load such fi les after first
copying them to the computer.
• Do not disconnect the USB device while downloading data. Doing so may
cause the program to forcibly terminate.
3197
You can use the special-purpose application program bundled with the Hioki 3197 to download the
measurement data, and the load it.
See: The instructions (PDF) for the special-purpose application program on the CD-R supplied with the Hioki 3197
3196
You can insert a PC Card with stored measurement data into a PC Card reader connected to the
computer, or transfer the measurement data over LAN to the computer, and then load it.
