progress.
When the deleting procedure is finished, the
instrument returns to normal display.
5.5 Optimizing recorded data (defragmenting)
If data have been recorded and deleted repeatedly, it is possible that some
memory areas are not used, resulting in a reduction of memory capacity. In
this case, it is recommended to optimize the memory and thus make these
memory areas usable again.

During defragmentation of the memory, progress is
indicated. The optimization time depends on the
memory condition. If automatic data logging was
active, it remains active during optimization; it is
not ended.
Do not press any key as long as defragmenting is
in progress.
When the optimization procedure is finished, the
instrument returns to the memory display (Fn1).

9 Evaluating data with a PC
With the handheld TDA-3000, it is possible to evaluate the measured data
using a personal computer (PC). The data are transferred via the USB
interface.
System
requirements
PC compatible computer with operating system Windows
7 (32-bit and 64-bit).
Windows and EXCEL are registered trademarks of the
Microsoft Corporation.
9.1 Connection between the TDA-3000 and the PC
Since the TDA-3000 is operated with the standard drivers of the operating
system, it can only be connected to a PC and not to other computer systems.
h Connect the instrument to the PC using the USB interface cable that comes
with the delivery.
It does not matter whether the TDA is switched on or off. The necessary power
(for the data transfer) is supplied by the PC via the USB interface.
If the TDA is connected to the PC for the first time, the necessary
instrument drivers are automatically installed by the PC operating
system. If you are using Windows XP, Windows Vista or
Windows 7, then start the computer before making the connection
to the instrument. This ensures that you are logged on and have
the necessary authorization.

9.2 Stored data
Three files are created in the TDA and are ready for readout.
-LOG_M0507066.CSV: recorded temperature data
-TAG_M0507066.CSV: TAG names and limits
-SETUP_M0507066.CSV: user name and configuration data
The files - in CSV format (Comma Separated Values) - are only
created when the TDA is connected to a PC.
The characters in the file name in front of the “_” character are
fixed, i.e. they are the same for different instruments. The names
after the “_” differ. This makes it possible to distinguish between
data from different instruments.
LOG_*.CSV The file contains the recorded temperatures. It is stored in the TDA in the
“Read only” mode. The file can be opened and evaluated, for instance through
spreadsheet programs, and copied to the hard disk of the PC.
If the file is deleted in the TDA, the data in the TDA memory will
also be lost. Then it will no longer be possible to check the data
with the TDA.
The file contains the following data: memory number, date, time, temperature,
TAG nu mber an d u ser nu mber.
54
9 Evaluating data with a PC
TAG_*.CSV The file contains the TAG names and the limits. As standard, it is available in

receives the “Read only” attribute.

9.3 Disconnecting
Disconnect the TDA from the PC after the PC has been shut down and
switched off or observe the following instructions:
-Do not disconnect when the files are open or being stored at the moment.
This may result in a malfunction.
- Disconnecting a USB link is described in the documentation for the PC
operating system.
Example Windows XP
h Please make sure that all files are closed.
h Left-click the “Hardware removal” icon (disconnecting a USB link) in the
task bar of Windows.
h Select the instrument you want to remove by clicking on it with the left
mouse button.

EXCEL will automatically start the Text Wizard for converting the data to the
EXCEL format.
h In the EXCEL Text Wizard, step 1 of 3 is confirmed with “Continue”.
h With step 2 of 3, the “Tab” separator has to be inactivated and “Comma”
activated.

h Use the “Import external data” function in the “Data” menu.
According to the operating system language (German, English, ...),
a “.” (point) or “,” (comma) is used as decimal signs.
If required, use the EXCEL “Search and Replace” function for
conversion. If a wrong format is used, EXCEL will interpret the data
as text and not as numbers. This means that the data cannot
readily be displayed graphically.
