Using the Software with Windows 7 / Vista

■ Notes about graph operation

- Opening a Temp / Humidity Graph, Multi-scale Graph or other data ﬁle

(.trx, etc…) by dropping it into the Graph window

If you wish to open a ﬁle by dropping it into a Graph, it will not appear if the Graph has been opened using [Run as Administrator]. Please open the Graph as a general User. In general, we suggest when using Vista to only use [Run as Administrator] to open the Graphs the ﬁrst time in order to link the type of data ﬁles (extension) to the Graph programs. After that please open as a general user and carry out the opening of data as usual.

■ About the Saving Location for Data Files

The application automatically creates a new data ﬁle each time an AutoDownload session occurs. Note that when using the Vista OS the [Virtual Store] function will redirect ﬁles from the default folder into which the program was installed to separate folders under [Program Files] for each user, as shown below: [C:\User\(AccountName)\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\(Application)].

（ EX:

If login was carried out using the account name [myname] and [T&D Recorder for Windows] is the application being run, the saving location will appear in the application window as: [C:\Program Files\T&D Recorder for Windows\data] but due to the [Virtual Store] function the actual saving location will be [C:\User\ myname\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\

T&D Recorder (RTR-5) US]. If the login was carried out from [Run as Administrator], the ﬁle will be saved to the folder as it appears in the application window.

Forms of Communication: A Quick Look

There are various ways that communication can be carried out between RTR-5 Series Loggers and Data Collectors, Data Collectors and your Computer, and Loggers and your Computer. For each type of communication the set-up and procedure varies. Please take a quick look at the chart below and see the pages noted under each type of communication for more details.

Communication between

RTR-5 Series Loggers and Data Collectors

There are two ways to carry out communication between a Data Logger and a Data Collector: Wireless and Optical.

as a Remote Unit.

Place the Remote Unit in the actual place where you wish to make measurements.

If direct and unobstructed, the communication range is about 100 meters.

Group

100m

Carry out the Wireless Communication Test. There are instances when communication cannot occur within 100

meters. Please check to see if communication is possible by running a

Search for Remote Units that have been registered via the RTR-57C/57U.

RTR-51/52/52Pt: Value Adjustment Function

This function enables the user to make adjustments to measured values to correct inaccuracies that may occur when compared to a standard or reference temperature measurement. By setting an adjustment equation beforehand, the adjustment function will automatically calculate to record and display the post-adjusted measurement. It is possible to select from two methods of adjustment: 1-point adjustment and 2-point adjustment.

Note

- By changing the sensor, the current recording session will be automatically stop

■ Temperature: 1-point Adjustment

Adjustment is carried out by entering the value of the difference between the displayed temperature measurement reading and the reference one to which it is being compared.

- Please set so that the possible adjustment range is within ± 54 °F.

Page 56

■ Temperature: 2-point Adjustment

Adjustment is carried out by entering values for the differences between two displayed temperature measurement readings and the reference ones to which they are being compared.

- Please set so that the possible adjustment range is within ± 5 °F.

■ Adjustment Settings

Please follow directions as found in [Communication between Data Loggers and Computers] by connecting the RTR-57U unit to your computer and place the Data Logger unit face down on top of it. (see p.21 for details)

In the Main Window, click on the Data Logger icon. To open the [Adjustment (RTR-51/52)] or [Adjustment (RTR-52Pt)] Window, click on [Settings] in the Menu Bar and then select [RTR-51/52 Adjustment Setting] or [RTR-52Pt Adjustment Setting] from the pull down menu.

Note

- We cannot guarantee that after carrying out adjustment the measuring accuracy will improve for all measuring ranges.

- By carrying out adjustment on an already adjusted device without ﬁrst clicking the Initialize Button, the new adjustment equation will be be used to further adjust the previously adjusted result. It is important to remember that if adjustment takes place without initializing the device, the adjustment will include the ﬁrst equation as well as the second and an over adjustment will occur. This over adjustment will be especially large when making a 2-point adjustment and the measurement falls outside of the range of the two points entered.

When you are carrying out adjustments and formulating equations please take care

with the settings and take personal responsibility for the process.
