Connection Of A Pc For Use With Accuflow Flowmeter Interface; Integral Data Logger - Accusonic 8510+ series Reference Manual

2-8 Accusonic Model 8510+ Series Flowmeter

Connection of a PC for use with Accuflow Flowmeter Interface

A PC may be connected to the 9-pin RS-232 socket or the RJ45 Ethernet socket, for use with special
Accusonic PC based programs. The RS-232 connection requires a Null-Modem connection and the
Ethernet connection requires a Cross-Over LAN cable or a standard LAN cable if connection via a switch
or router. Either the cable or adapter can be purchased at a PC supply or electronics store.

Integral Data Logger

The integral data logger can be configured to log at a chosen interval (all variables will be logged), by
selecting "Internal" memory which will use the supplied MicroSDHC memory card installed in the HMI
board. The user interfaces with the logger for setting up, either using the touch screen LCD display (see
Chapter 5 & 7), or via the RS232 serial port using a PC running under the Accuflow Interface (see Chapter
6). Reading the logged data can only be achieved by exporting the data to a user supplied USB Drive or by
physically removing the supplied MicroSDHC memory card (a user should stop the datalogging function
prior to removing the MicroSDHC memory card). A separate .csv file will be created for each calendar day
containing all of the flowmeter variables for a given day. The .csv files can be opened with any version of
Microsoft Excel.
