Output Cycle; Memory, Internal - Ahlborn ALMEMO 710 Operating Instructions Manual

10.1.3 Output cycle

Measured values can be saved and / or output via the interface on a cyclic ba -
sis using the ´Output cycle´ in the format h/m/s.

If a channel is programmed to averaging mode CYCL, average,
maximum, and minimum values are all deleted with each cycle.
After a reinitialization activation of saving-to-memory with each cycle or
manual scan, i.e. cyclic saving of data to memory, is automatically enabled;
however, it can be disabled if so required.
Save with output cycle or manually
There is no longer a choice of output formats (see Manual 6.6.1) because the
expanded range of values can only be expressed in table format. This format
is now used for both the output and saving of measured values; it is, as always,
ideally suitable for further processing with any standard spreadsheet program;
(see screenshots, Manual 6.1).
10.1.3.1 Cycle factor
To adapt data recording to the speed of change on each individual measuring
channel certain measuring channels can still be programmed with a cycle fac-
tor between 00 and 99 which will cause them to be output less frequently or not
at all. (see Manual 6.10.6) This cycle factor is by default completely disabled
or set to 01 for all measuring channels; i.e. all activated measuring channels
are output in each cycle. If factor 10 is entered, the measuring channel in
question will only be output every 10th cycle; if 00 is entered it will not be output
at all (effective cycle). With data saving, similarly, it is possible to suppress
measured values that are unnecessary and to thus save on memory capacity.
This channel function can be programmed via
Settings > Channel functions > Measured value output > Cycle factor.

10.1.4 Memory, internal

The internal 8-MB flash memory is sufficient for between 0.5 and 1.5 million
measured values (depending on the number of channels). In the event of a
failure in the supply voltage the measured data is retained intact. The data for-
mat, here too, has been changed to table format and now, whenever the sen-
sor configuration is changed, a new configuration file is saved; its file name, a
6-digit number, is incremented each time.
All parameters concerning the memory can be accessed by touching on ´Mem-
ory status´ or ´Settings´ > ´Memory´.
Changing the memory organization to ring memory (in which old data will be
overwritten) is only possible for the internal memory. (see Manual 6.10.13.2).
