SD card data structure
1) When SD card is used with the meter for the first time, the SD card will generate a folder: TMA01.
2) If you execute the datalogger function for the first time, under the route TMA01\, a new file called
TMA01001.XLS will be generated. After exiting the datalogger function and starting it again, the data will
be saved to TMA01001.XLS until the data column reaches 30,000 columns. Then, a new file will be
generated, for example TMA01002.XLS.
3) Under the folder TMA01\, if there are more than 99 files in total, a new route will be generated, such as
TMA02\........
4) The file's route structure : TMA01\
TMA01001.XLS TMA01002.XLS
TMA01099.XLS TMA02\ TMA02001.XLS
TMA02002.XLS
TMA02099.XLS TMAXX\ Remark : XX : Max. value is 10.
7 Saving data from the SD card to the computer (EXCEL software)
1) After executing the data logger function, remove the SD card from the "SD card socket" (4-18).
2) Insert the SD card into the computer's SD card slot.
3) Power ON the computer and run the "EXCEL software". Download the saved data file (for example the
file name: TMA01001.XLS, TMA01002.XLS) from the SD card to the computer. The saved data will
appear on the EXCEL software display. The user can then use those EXCEL data to make further data or
graphical analyses .
8 Advanced settings
When you do not execute the Datalogger function, press the "SET Button" (4-7) continuously for at least
two seconds to enter the "Advanced Setting" mode. Then press the "Next Button" (4-3) several times to
select one of the seven main functions. The lower display will show:
dAtE..... Set clock time (year/month/date, hour/minute/second)
dEC.......Set SD card decimal character
PoFF.....Auto power OFF management
bEEP....Switch beeper sound ON/OFF
t-CF...... Select the temperature unit to °C or °F
SP-t......Set sampling time (hour/minute/second)
Sd F..... SD memory card format
Note:
When executing the "Advanced Setting" function, pressing the "ESC Button" (4-2) once will exit the
"Advanced Setting" function and the LCD will return to normal.
Set clock time (year/month/date, hour/minute/second)
1) Press the "Enter Button" (4-4) once, use the "▲ Button" (4-5) or the "▼ Button" (4-6) to adjust the
value (setting starts from year value). After the desired value is set, press the "Enter Button" (4-4) once to
go to the next value (for example, first setting value is year, followed by month, date, hour, minute,
second value).
2) After setting all the time values (year, month, date, hour, minute, second), the screen will jump to the
"SD card decimal character" setting.
Note:
After the time value is set, the internal clock will run precisely even when power is off (if battery is not
low).
Decimal point of SD card setting
The numerical data structure of the SD card uses the "." as the decimal point by default, for example
"20.6" or "1000.53". However, in certain countries (Europe ...) the "," is used as the decimal point, for
example "20,6" or "1000,53". Therefore, in some European countries, the decimal point should be
changed first.
When the lower display shows "dEC",
1) use the "▲ Button" (4-5) or the "▼ Button" (4-6) to set the upper value to "bASI" or "Euro".
bASI means that the “.” as decimal point is set as default.
Euro means that the "," as decimal point is set as default.
