1 GENERAL

The CL520 series software package allows to use the CL520 series at its best, using all its capabilities. Three separate
programs are available:

CL520-LGM (LOGMAN):

CL520-SLS (LINMAN):

CL520-CPS (CALPMAN):

1.1 Demo software

A demo software package is supplied to better understand the CL520 series communication protocol.
You can display CL520 series actual status, select input or output, select range, select engineering unit, Reference
Junction, Temperature Scale, Output value.
The source code is written in Microsoft Qbasic / QuickBasic / PDS.
CL520 series software runs on IBM and compatible PC.

Minimum requirements

To set-up the computer for demo program run the following procedure:

Turn your computer “On” and create a new directory on your Hard disk:

C>MD MCAL200

Enter in the new directory:

C>CD MCAL200

Insert the disk into the floppy driver and copy programs in a new directory.

C>COPY A: MCAL200.*

Now you can run the program:

C> MCAL200

Directory MCAL200will contain:
MCAL200.EXE Program
MCAL200.BAS Source Code

Allows the user a complete management of the data logged with the data logging option.

Allows the user to enter in the calibrator his own linearization, for a special sensor or for

any other need of custom linearization.

Allows to install in the calibrator the data to calibrate process instruments directly on field

for a complete plant monitoring.

: a 286 CPU with 640K RAM and 1 Megabyte of Hard Disk and one Floppy Disk Drive, Mono or

Color Monitor and DOS 3.3 or later.

2 LOGGING DATA MANAGER (CL520-LGM)

The CL520-LGM (LOGMAN) program is used to manage the data coming from the CL520 series memory. The data can
be viewed, saved on disk, printed and exported to be used with the most common spreadsheets.
The program presents a list of options selectable in a simple way, by pressing the appropriate number on the keyboard.
Also those who are not familiar with personal computer will find the use of this program easily achievable

When using the program, the CL520 series has to be connected to the PC by a serial cable, supplied as a standard
accessory with the software package.
The communication port to be used is COM1. This port is generally located on the backside of the PC and it's marked
with a label.
If, for any reason, your hardware is different, and you find it difficult to identify the PORT, refer to the handbook of your
PC.

Type on DOS command line: LOGMAN/? in order to obtain info on how to modify hardware parameters.

In order to use LOGMAN from the supplied disk, you just need to:
a) Insert the diskette in the disk unit.
b) Select the disk unit (generally speaking, they are A or B)
c) Type LOGMAN to execute the program.

2.1 Installation

OMEGA strongly recommends to copy LOGMAN on the hard disk to grant the user an higher speed and larger storage

memory. To set-up the computer for demo program run the following procedure:

Turn your computer “On” and create a new directory on your Hard disk:

C>MD LOGMAN

Enter in the new directory:

C>CD LOGMAN

Insert the disk into the floppy driver and copy programs in a new directory.

C>COPY A:LOGMAN.EXE
C>COPY A:*.LOG
C>COPY A:COURB.FON

Now you can run the program:

C>LOGMAN

2.2 Receive Data from calibrator

This option allows to download data from the CL520 series memory into the PC. The CL520 series has to be connected
to the PC.
From the main menu, select “Receive data from CL520 series” function pressing the <1> key.

6

2.2 Load Data from File

This option allows to load data previously stored on disk. Only files with a .LOG suffix will be loaded, it won't be possible
to load .TXT files.
From the main menu, select “Load data from File” function pressing the <2> key. When this option has been selected, a
file name is asked; simply type in the name of the file where you stored the data and, by pressing <ENTER>, they will be
loaded.

OTE: TO LOAD A NEW FILE MEANS TO COMPLETELY DELETE THE ONE ALREADY PRESENT IN MEMORY, THEREFORE BE CAREFUL TO

N

SAVE IT BEFORE LOADING.

2.3 Display Data

This option allows to examine the logged data, whether they're coming from the CL520 series or from the disk. From the
main menu, select “Display data” function pressing the <3> key.
All the data will be displayed on the screen as it follows:

7

By pressing <F
data.

Pressing <F

1>, a graph will be displayed. The graph will be obtained basing the calculations upon the whole batch of

2>, it will be possible to have an hard copy of the graph on the selected printer.

2.4 Statistics

This option allows to obtain on screen the average, minimum and maximum values of the data present in the memory.
The calculation will be executed on the whole batch of data.
From the main menu, select “Display MIN, MAX and AVG values” function pressing the <4> key.

2.5 Save Data on Disk

This option allows to save the data in the memory of the instrument into a disk.
From the main menu, select “Save data to File” function pressing the <5> key.
The program will ask for a filename, to which the suffix .LOG will be coupled to identify it as a file that can be used by
LOGMAN.

8

If on the disk that filename is already existing, a warning message will appear asking if the existing file has to be deleted
or the filename has to be changed.

2.6 Saving Data in Paradox

The options 6 and 7 allow to save data in formats different from the LOGMAN one.
The available formats are referred to the most common database and spreadsheet: PARADOX (BORLAND) and EXCEL
(MICROSOFT). With these packages it will be possible to manage the data in a really complete way.
The files will have a .TXT suffix that identifies them as text files.

NOTE: T

O SAVE DATA IN THIS FORMAT DO NOT SUBSTITUTE THE .LOG FILES. THE .LOG DATA FILE SHOULD BE CREATED ANYWAY.

2.7 Data Printing

This option allows to obtain an hard copy of the data in memory on a printer. From the main menu, select “Print data”
function pressing the <8> key. When selected, the operator will be asked to set-up the printer for operation. When the
system is ready, data will be printed.

2.8 List Files

This option allows to see which .LOG and .TXT files are present on a particular directory on disk.
From the main menu, select “List .LOG and .TXT files” function pressing the <9> key. When selected, a directory's name
will be asked. The .LOG files will be displayed as first, while the .TXT as second.
