5. DATALOGGER

5-1 Preparation before execute datalogger function

a. Insert the SD card
Prepare a " SD memory card " ( 1 GB to 16 GB, optional ),
insert the SD card into the " SD card socket " ( 3-13, Fig. 1)
with the correct direction exactly.

b. SD card Format
If SD card just the first time use into the meter, it
recommend to make the " SD card Format " at first,
please refer chapter 7-1 ( page 11 ).

c. Time setting
If the meter is used at first time, it should to adjust the
clock time exactly, please refer chapter 7-2 ( page 11 ).

d. Decimal format setting

The numerical data structure of SD card is
default used the " . " as the decimal, for
example "20.6" "1000.53" . But in certain
countries ( Europe ...) is used the " , " as the
decimal point, for example " 20, 6 "
"1000,53". Under such situation, it should
change the Decimal character at first, details
of setting the Decimal point, refer to Chapter

7-5, page 13.
e. 3 Information of LCD display
*If the Display show :

It means that the SD card exist the problem

CH- or the SD card memory is full, it should
CArd change SD memory card.

* If the Display show :

It means that the battery is low voltage.

LobAt Under such condition, the Datalogger

function is disable.

* If the Display show :

It means that the SD card is not plugged

no into the meter.
CArd

5-2 Datalogger

*

the sampling value.

5-4 SD Card Data structure

1)When the first time, the SD card is used into the meter,
the SD card will generate a folder :

HTC01

2)If the first time to execute the Datalogger, under the
route HTC01\, will generate a new file name
HTC01001.XLS.
After exist the Datalogger, then execute again, the data
will save to the HTC01001.XLS until Data column reach
to 30,000 columns, then will generate a new file, for
example HTC01002.XLS

3)Under the folder HTC01\, if the total files more
than 99 files, will generate anew route, such as

HTC02\ ........

4)

The file's route structure :
HTC01\

HTC01001.XLS
HTC01002.XLS

.....................

HTC01099.XLS

HTC02\

HTC02001.XLS
HTC02002.XLS

.....................

HTC02099.XLS

HTCXX\

.....................

.....................

Remark :
XX : Max. value is 10.

6. Saving data from the SD card

(

)

to the computer ( EXCEL software )

1)After execute the Data Logger function, take away the
SD card out from the " SD card socket " ( 3-13, Fig. 1 ).

2)Plug in the SD card into the Computer's SD card slot
( if your computer build in this installation ) or
insert the SD card into the " SD card adapter ". then
connect the " SD card adapter " into the computer.
Power ON the computer and run the " EXCEL software ".

3)
Down load the saving data file ( for example the file
name : HTA01001.XLS, HTA01002.XLS ) from the SD
card to the computer. The saving data will present into
the EXCEL software screen ( for example as following
EXCEL data screens ) , then user can use those EXCEL
data to make the further Data or Graphic analysis
usefully.
