Preparing The Data For Analysis; Specifying Oven/Furnace/Kiln Start; Storing Notes And Printing A Report - Fluke Datapaq TP3 User Manual

Preparing the Data for Analysis

For full details of Insight's powerful analysis capabilities, see the online Help
system: on Insight's menu bar, select Help > Contents > Data Analysis. Before
starting full analysis of the downloaded data, it may be advisable to:
• Apply a process file, if not already done (see p. 51).
• Specify the oven/furnace/kiln start position in the data (see below).
• Record any notes specific to the profile run (see below).

Specifying Oven/Furnace/Kiln Start

If you have not applied a process file, or if the process file you applied did not
specify that the oven/furnace/kiln start position be adjusted, you may want
to adjust the oven/furnace/kiln start position now: from the menu bar, select
Process > Adjust Oven/Furnace/Kiln Start, or use the right-click menu.
This can be valuable as it permits different paqfiles, i.e. data from different
temperature profile runs, to be compared with each other. If you do not wish
to adjust the oven/furnace/kiln start at this point, you may still do so at any time
subsequently.
For an explanation of oven/furnace/kiln start, and how to adjust it, click Help in
If using Insight Kiln Tracker, and if no kiln zones are set up, you may select
Process > Adjust Kiln Start (or use the right-click menu) to enter a duration for
the process; this will add a marker on the graph to show the kiln end. To
remove the marker, set the duration to zero.
Information about the logger and the data-collection process for the paqfile
(including time/date, trigger mode and maximum internal logger temperature)
can be seen in the Paqfile Properties dialog (select File > Properties, or right-
click on the graph and select from the pop-up menu).

Storing Notes and Printing a Report

To use Insight to store any notes or photos which you may wish to associate
with the profile-run data, select Edit > Notes.
To select options for printing a customized report of the profile-run data
and its analysis results, select File > Print Options.
