Resetting and Starting the Logger When Using Hardwired
Telemetry
The logger is reset and started exactly as for a normal (non-telemetry) profile
run (see p. 40), except that:
• In the Reset dialog, select Hardwired Telemetry.
• After completing your selections in the Reset dialog, leave the
communications lead attached to the logger and PC.
• The Select Process dialog then appears in order that you may choose a
process file to apply to the results as they are being gathered and displayed.
If the process file and its components have been given names, these are
shown when you select the process file in the list. Click 'No Process' if you
do not want to apply a process file. (A process file allows you to see the
temperature profile in relation to the oven zones as the profile appears on
screen during the run. See the Insight software for an introduction to
process files: press function key F1, or select Help > Contents from the
menu bar, and click the section 'Process Files: Oven, Recipe, Product'.)
• If you are using a process file, when plugging the thermocouples into the
logger's numbered sockets, ensure that the probe/socket numbers on the
logger correspond to those used to define probe numbers and locations in
that process file.
It is possible to have power connected during hardwired telemetry, but beware
that this may affect accuracy of the data. The charger should thus be disconnected
unless the profile run being conducted is a practice one.
You may specify that a password is required when an attempt is made to close
Insight while a real-time telemetry run is in progress: select Tools >
If the logger's memory becomes full during hard-wired data-collection, the
logger will continue gathering data, but excess data will be passed to the PC and
not stored by the logger. When the profile run is complete, the full data can then be
Real-time Display During the Run
After the first few data packets have been received, the data starts to be
displayed in the Graph and Analysis Windows, scrolling in real time as new data
is received. You may change the way the data is displayed with the Axes tab of
the Graph Options dialog (from the right-click menu, or from the main menu
select View > Graph Options): under Telemetry, specify how much of the
recently received data is displayed, and whether you wish to see only a certain
temperature (y-axis) range, centered on a the latest data.
